TRF416 and TT02 (belt drive) info sought
 

Does any one have pics or more details?:) ;)

I was informed by a pal who regularly visits Japan workwise and buys from local suppliers there, that the above are due later this year and or early next year:cool: :) ;) (from a reputedly reliable Tamiya source) sorry I can not divulge at present, but Tamiya USA do not have any info so they say.

A Belt driven TT02, seems they have realised that more people like belt driven cars than shaft driven, so are going to have an entry version:)

TRF416 will not be out until next year. For this year, Tamiya will keep milking the 415 cow by coming out with the TRF415MSXX MRE. It will be very similar to the MSXX but with some minor changes to the top deck and rear top plate, I think.

All this according to rcforum.co.kr

Pfffw. They must introduce the TRF416, if only to simplify the name. :D

More interesting for Oople.com : What about a 2wd buggy ? any rumours ? News ?

I heard some rumours about a 2WD - if they bring one out then it would be awesome to see. I think a new 4WD can't be far off, but I'd imagine it's only small improvements over the 501X, maybe just all the hopups and big pulleys etc..?

Last I heard, one of the team drivers was playing with a DT02, and trust me, that isn't a competitive car.

A DT02 ??? Better dig out an old Super Astute then.

Found this on the Tamiyausa site:)

Still can not find the TT02 though:yawn:

Any one?

Nice find. It looks like they redid the car to prepare for a LiPo future.

Sim, my one is ordered and will be with me either for Xmas or the new year, so I'm over the moon.
