well the car is made by some guys in Finland - not Tamiya. It does look very cool, though I'm not sure if they are tried it again yet (which is a shame if so)

maybe with it being mid motor, it will have less drive and therefore more power is a hinderance

Who knows, it looks nice though, but i wonder how it will fly with cells down one side

5 cells can be commonly used for dirt...just makes the power smoooother...these guys obviously like that feel and therefore made the car around it...means you can run faster motors but smooooooooooothly....

Yes but thats just a tamiya, its not a TRF so its not really good enough to race at all.

I'm sure its a good fun car, a guy at work just bought the standard car for his son and it seems like a decent fun chassis. Very far from a real 2WD racer attempt. I do really hope they made a 2WD though.

thats a massive misconception that it isn't good if it isn't a TRF, ok lots are made for the toy market, but they got two very good racing chassis's out there.... the DT02 isn't one though...
