Dave, I hope you don't plan to order anything from Japan after a comment like that

On a different note, I have done more research on the change required to the suspension. My original comments are incorrect... as there are three different suspension designs in the reference pictures. In both Brazil and Argentina, the car is 'traditionally' sprung with springs fore and dampers aft. Then, for the next 'few' races, the car features hydraulic rear suspension. About mid-season, the car revents to the traditionally sprung setup, but minus the dampers behind (the springs are now red too). The model comes from Tamiya with the late season setup.

Kind regards,
Bill
