Wraps off the TRF 2WD

[DaveG28]

The wishbones are 511 at the rear by the way, so those holes are probably redundant..

Flex is probably different to B4, as said by someone else looks more Madratish, diff webbing etc to B4 and diff front bulkhead mounts etc, plus still looks like centered motor?

Those front wishbones do look a straight b4 copy

[coolcars782]

I wouldnt say the wishbones are a copy as the tamiya's ones are curved.

[DaveG28]

Your quite right, my mistake!

[DCM]

I think you will find, the pickup points will be the same, just metric and not imperial, and they have been beefed up in a Tamiya sort of way.

Still cool to see another 2wd on the market

Bare in mind that the exchange rate changes

Does look like the motor is more centred to a B4. I like it, simple, based on a proven design, should do what it say's on the tin, just with that Tamiya "feel" in the box.
I agree, it should have the Tamiya warning stickers, they are far too priceless to omit

Where are you getting this stuff?? The only English language stuff I found was about more details for May hobby show and it being down as "tentative" for being at the show?

i used the link jimmy put up to the japanese TRF site, Then I copy and paste info that is around the image i wan't. then i use google babelfish to translate it for me. I do this with all japanese sites i look at.

[Albertini]

Have a look in the tamiya section on here, there's a couple of translations in the trf 2wd thread, one of which is spot on. ( well I guess it is, not knowing any japanese myself.)

With the B4, and TRF car side by side, you can see they have looked at the B4, and said..hmmm what needs sorting out, improving, tweaking and put that lot in the box! Nice work, I am liking it

Still gonna stick with my B4 though!

Are you guys serious? Usually you can spot if a screw is new...'

Btw, what difference is there between the B4, RB5 and Losi XXX-CR?

[Alfonzo]

Wow. How..mm..original.

Imitation being the most sincere form of flattery, I guess the guys that designed the B4 can be chuffed

[farmboy]

Is it me or does the decal on the side of the wing say "Spazstix"?
