depends on the organizer.

it's not about the suspension, it's more like how you do it. if you follow 100% official rule, the mod must not allow any grease/oil spill but many racer with suspension setup fail to cover their gears where grease/oil spill might happen. if oil/grease leaking happened from the motor lubrication, normally you get disqualify to because it will affect the track setup.

based on the previous Japan Cup entries in the past years, there has been none suspension modded mini4wd participating too. while the Japanese racers do suspension mods, they usually keep it it for experiments or private races only.

I think the new charger set is a revised one, probably better than the old one. Who knows. I think the battery is still the same though.

And glad that they re-release the black double roller. The last time I got it for a fairly normal price was in late 2013. After that the price inflated so much. LOL.

Nothing wrong buying the starter pack to have a grasp/idea on the basic setting, because our setup nowadays is just so different than back in the 90's. The biggest difference is that now we have circuit jumps, so dampers were produced. There's no dampers back then. But like others said, purchasing parts by parts could be more economical if you know what you're doing.

The most important thing is that, only buy Tamiya branded parts.

Playing at TU is free as far as I'm concerned.
