Hmmm i wonder what cost they will launch this at ? Lets hope they dont price it out of the market....

I,m just wondering what its going to be called...?
Tamiya sometimes come up with some awful wacky names.

Looks like there's going to be an alternative body shell for the TRF201 (see DN-01) --> http://www.tamiya.com/japan/hobbysho...1010/news1.htm

New body is included in kit together with TRF201 wing.

Is´nt it great that they make a "budget" buggy that can be upgraded?
Now you don´t have to choose DT-02 or TRF 2WD buggy. Better for both customers and Tamiya.

Up until now if someone had asked me what car shall i go for to start out with the stock answer has always been a B4.... not any more! :)

Zahhak? :woot:
I see Tamiya have excelled themselves in the weird name department this time!

OMG it looks awful :woot: I race the TRF201 and was hoping to get one of these for spares.:eh?:

Maybe not but I could sell on the horrid body shell I suppose plus any other non racing parts.

I think I'm gonna be sick.
I'll just save up a bit more and get the TRF201 I think.

After you with the sick bucket..... :wtf:

Theres a lesson in how to put prospective buyers off a potentially good starter buggy :bored:

Pink wheels are a no-no... the body isn't 'offensive' but isn't pretty either, think I may get one for me daughter!

Do you think that they saw how well the X6 sells and thought it's success was down to it's looks and decided that to outsell it they had to make their car even uglier!!

It's making the new Jconcepts shells look more appealing though :woot:

At least there is hope that they will do some other coloured 2WD Front wheels other than white. Although i don´t think i would like to get the pink ones....

ee gads!

looks like one of those old mardave shells you used to have to paint on the outside...!

Now you've seen it, are you quite so sure you could tell someone to buy a Zahhak?! :woot:

I wonder how big of a hit the trf201 would of been if it had that shell instead.

What type of name is "Zahhak" and how the hell do you pronounce it?:confused::confused:
They should have stuck to their traditional naming methods and called it "the Toad":lol::lol:

Think of a cat coughing up a furball - I think it's close to that. That shell design fell out of the fugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...

Yeah that looks pretty awful with that painjob/colour scheme.

However, I'm thinking with a retro paintjob that body wouldn't look half bad, say something reminiscent of the 'Wild One'?

I'm a bit puzzled as to why they are bothering with a budget model of this buggy. I thought that the 201 was pretty damn cheap for a racing level buggy anyway.

Thats brilliant :lol:
