The Current Lineup - Basic

Here is my current list of Basic class Tamiya Mini 4WD cars that I race. While I've tried quite a few different variations, I've narrowed it down to these 4 that seem to work the best for me. However, I do like to experiment every now and then so this list could eventually grow.
