A couple guys in my area are getting one as well, so they say.
Yeah I have been waiting patiently for a Tamiya TRF 2wd Buggy.
Some hardcore tamiya fans have been waiting since the Astute
and Dyna Storm era..that's why it has such a high demand right now.

Are there any good quality online builds with photos anywhere, or a link to the build instructions at all?

When I get mine, I will be doing a build thread, just like I did with the Ansmann X-Pro

Yeah why do you need build instructions, it's tamiya, probably if you throw all parts up in the air they land as a complete car.

just finished my build. Took a bit longer than I anticipated. Not as easy as building a B4.

tamiya skimped on plastic shock bushings and plastic crush tubes. Cant imagine the plastic crush tube doing much !

The plastic throughout the car looks cheap, however I'm sure its still a strong car

So whats the opinion on how this compares to a B4. Looks really similar to me, but with cheaper looking plastics as mentioned. Any idea if it's likely to be as durable as a B4?

People on rctech have posted and raced them Canadians,
some guy named Joel. He said the car is extremely durable out of the box.
The tamiya plastic in thier trf machines isnt cheap looking either.
3 or 4 people in his class ran the car and they all made the A-Main
or A-Final to the oople guys. I just dont know if he ran stock class or modified class. :/
They ran them 2 weeks in a row and only one person broke the car. And it was a tranny gear
not A-arms breaking...Im thinking it was a build error, not the car itself.
the only way to blow out a transmission is not lubing it properly with grease.

I dont know what gear he said went out...
Unless his slipper was so tight that there was no slippage, then
your tranny would fail. Or no grease on the gears...
Joel did say that the tranny is very smooth, and it doesnt sound like a B4
or Losi buggy on the track. Super Quiet..

I should have pics up today or tommorow of my car...

it is unusual for a transmission gear to go, a tight slipper won't do that either.

The top gear is held on by a pin which in turn is held on by an oring. I guess if the oring wasn't sat correctly or failed thd pin would drop and destroy the idler?

Kinda makes me wish I'd double checked mind before sealing up the gearbox..

Plastic feels good in my opinion. Not cheap at all.
I added 0.5 shim on rear suspension arms to remove play. Also shimmed diff.

Overall it looks and feels good. Not like the 511 though.
