Wraps off the TRF 2WD
The wraps are finally off the new Tamiya TRF 2WD racing buggy that competed recently at the Yatabe international GP.
Details are scarce but the design isn't radically different from other 2WD competition buggies already in existance - though interestingly Tamiya didn't go with the current trend toward a mid-motor layout. Check out the Tamiya TRF website for more details (Japanese): http://www.tamiya.com/trf

I know you can't tell from a picture, but apart from the extra hole on the tower the front end geomentry looks identical to the B4

Yea its a b4. I preffer to look at it this way 8th Nitro grew into a huge class because loads of big manafactures started producing 8th buggy's tamiya AE losi etc now we have more and more company's producing 1/10th cars so should help the class as it did in 8th. Well done tamiya looks a good solid car might not be that ground breaking but its good.

Does it come with a legendary Tamiya "Warning - Hot motor" sticker, or a "Warning - moving parts" sticker anywhere?

Who would put those Tamiya plugs on there, melted within a couple seconds when running that brushless set - up
Is it made around the nihms? or is it weighted for lipos? |

B4 geometry, Tamiya quality - how can you go wrong?

I'm surpised they didnt do what durango have done with there dex210, by making it so you can have it midmotored or rear, by looking at the picture it is only rear motored

At the back of the rear wishbones there seems to be the same beefed up plastic as at the front of them for the arm shock mounting position or they could just be 4 way reversible

My TRF 416X uses 0 toe wishbones and the shock mounting holes are slightly offset so that you can find the "hole between holes" by turning the wishbone around. maybe its the same for this?

Chassis looks the same an X-Pro or Madrat even has the rear body mounts in the same place but i guess it will cost a bit more than the Madrat
Still cool to see another 2wd on the market |
