Can I Get A Ka-Ching!

**Can I Get a Ka-Ching!** is the fifth episode of season one of *Rimba Racer*.

## Summary

Aboard the Ark, Miles is working on the Ripper when Tag, still high off his victory at Pinewood Reservoir, enters their garage. He informs Tag that they are out of both money and parts, having gone through their limited resources in the first three races. Sonny then informs Tag that money is a serious issue, and further that his best way of getting funds is to court sponsors. Meika overhears Tamira ending an angry phone conversation in the Ark lounge, and suspects that Tamira is likewise having trouble with sponsors. She offers to help Tamira put forward a more public friendly image, but Tamira is uninterested.

Tag goes to King for help, without Miles' knowledge, and while he can't intervene directly he suggest Tag talk with Torres. After a somewhat awkward encounter-in which he is unsure what comments are directed at him and which are part of her phone conversation with Rolf-Torres agrees to set up meetings between Tag, Miles, and some possible sponsors. The tiger and owl are soon sweating their way through various presentations, attempting to sway the investors to their cause. Meika, meanwhile, tries to convince Tamira that she can show another side to herself, and suggests using FurShine shampoo.

Tamira later runs into Tag, who has just finished shooting for a commercial for Uncle Saul's Foot Deodorizer, and the pair commiserate over "doing things [they] really don't want to do, but have to." Fortunately, Dr. Saul pays Tag and Miles for Tag's work, and they quickly work to get the Ripper ready for the next race. Tag has an encounter with Krom and Wrecks, and notes oddly that they never seem to worry about money despite their lack of racing success. Elsewhere, Tamira has a meeting with King, who appears to have been the one she spoke to on the phone earlier. He renews his offer to have her drive on his team, which will see all her racing needs covered in exchange for her answering to him, which she accepts.

The next RGP race takes place at Blizzard's Bite, a sloping mountain covered in ice, in the middle of a raging snowstorm. Tag and Miles finish work on the Ripper just in time, and soon the racers are contending with the dangerous curves of the track. During the race, Wrecks targets Meika, but Tamira comes to her aid, using the Lunar Shadow's Shadow Drift mode to send the Atlas spinning. Meelo knocks Krom out of the race as well, using the Azureus Dart's Poison Arrow to short out the Heavy Metal. He is then knocked off the track by Axle, whom Tag attempts to beat by going off road.

Unfortunately for Tag, Axle uses the Falcon Mach-1's Hyperspeed in a tunnel to drive up the wall and past Tag, securing first place. Tag is discouraged by Axle's skill, but Miles reminds him that they're looking to win the season, not just one race. Tag is surprised at Miles' optimism, though the owl quickly points out that continued losses will affect their chances. Tamira, meanwhile, is surprised with a gift basket from Meika in thanks for her help during the race.
