Tamiya America Race Track

Tamiya Championship Series 2018 Finals Announcement The 2018 TCS Series concludes in Aliso Viejo, California. It is the final farewell to our beloved and historic racing facility. Please read below for important details regarding this years’ FINALS. Event Location:...Continue reading

The end of an era... Nestled in the foothills of sunny Aliso Viejo California sits a small race track. A facility that started as the testing grounds for a freshly established hobby company 24 years ago. The company is Tamiya America, Inc. and the track grew from testing grounds to what it’s known as today, Tamiya America Raceway. Over the years we’ve witnessed some of the greatest names in R/C racing from around the world battle wheel to wheel. We’ve watched dreams come... true for some and hopes of victory slip away for others. The victories are never sweeter and defeat never harder as seasons come and go, but the dream has always been, win at Tamiya. It is with these thoughts and memories in mind that make this difficult; as most of you know the Tamiya Raceway property has been on the market for several years. Although some had hopes it would never happen, we are sorry to report the track will be closing its doors permanently on September 1, 2018. We won’t say farewell to you, our fans, our supporters, our friends that feel like family. Instead we simply say we’ll see you another day. It is our hope to someday return with a track better than before and offer competitive racing to all ages and experience levels in a new home. We thank each and every one of you for your support and for providing years of exciting racing. Before we say goodbye to one of the world’s most iconic R/C race tracks, we ask that you join us for one final farewell, one more chance to experience a TCS event, compete against the best at the Reedy Race of Champions and one more shot to be crowned TCS National Champion! It is with great sorrow, but befitting, that the Tamiya Championship Series Finals will be the final event held at Tamiya Raceway, a track that has seen the best racing for over two decades. Our final race schedule will be as follows: Tamiya TCS Regional Qualifier March 25, 2018 Reedy International Touring Car Race of Champions May 24-27, 2018 Tamiya TCS Finals August 18-19, 2018 We would like to express our personal appreciation to all those that have supported the track, the Tamiya Championship Series and all the other racing events over the past 24 years. A special thank you to Max Valles, David Bird, Kevin Niino, Mark Hinckley, Tom Kahl, Chuck Leslie and the countless other volunteers that have helped over the years. You have all been wonderful and supportive and for this all of us at Tamiya America Inc. thank you. See you soon with our next endeavor in the not so distant future.

The ALL NEW Tamiya M-07 Concept M-Chassis will be coming out SOON! Here’s a quick Hop-Up Option tuning tip: The M-07 uses an oil-filled gear differential to drive the FWD gearbox. It’s the same unit as the one used in the TA-06 touring car. To get the most out of the diff we recommend two options to make the diff smoother and lighter. Item 54602 TA-06/M-07 Aluminum Gear Differential Unit Cover: This part provides smoother diff action and reinforces the diff case. https://ww...w.tamiyausa.com//rc-alum-gear-diff-unit-cover-54 Item 54532 Aluminum Cup Joint for TA-06/M-07 Gear Diff Unit: This part will save 7.7 grams and it will also allow you to use resin blades on your universal shafts. Using resin blades will ensure your drive cups last longer and will have less friction. https://www.tamiyausa.com//rc-gear-diff-unit-cup-joint-545
