Yatabe Arena was the venue of this year's All-Japan Championships, while most drivers choose the MID motor layout, I choose to race with a rear motor layout. The reason was found during testing ahead of the race; TLR 22 rear motor layout that is the best match with my driving style. I ran out the settings to test also MID motor of course, but the rear motor suit me better.


The main idea behind this setup was to improve car reaction by reducing the roll of the whole car. 1 mm spacer were added in the front and rear shock, now there is 4 mm in the front, 1 mm at the rear , this make a great different until now. Counterattack reaction is improved by this, it was me become a movement of their own preferences.


I use a combination of YRG083B4 compact battery strap post and YRG032 RB6 carbon graphite battery plate. The battery is kept securely in position and I don’t have to worry about damage such as the battery hitting the ESC during acrash, etc..


ESC was piled up on top of the battery until now but this didn’t help the rolling motion. It would be able to grasp the accelerator faster than ever at the rising edge of the corner, and became the movement 's favorite This.
Wiring has issued to the motor by opening a hole in the shock tower.


3.5° toe-in at the rear end was also used until now but I setting it at 3° toe-in as track grip was better this time. It has made a sufficient grip even 3 °.


To reduce the resistance due to friction with the road surface, I put a TLR331000 TLR 22 chassis protection tape on the chassis. It also protect the chassis if contact is made.
