Default New TRF201 kits, this time including body shells [ 42203 + 42204 ]
http://www.tamiya.com/japan/news/new...2=999999&col=3

Looks like Tamiya are releasing another batch of TRF201's, this time including body shells.

Kit no. 42203 includes std TRF201 body
Kit no. 42204 includes Zahhak body

Both also come with a funky looking carbon battery strap.

And a new bodyshell looks to be in the pipeline -

Direct soldered NiMh cells??? That's not legal in any racing any longer is it?
This other bodyshell is horrific:

Yes it is the ZAHHAK body. Painted nicely it can look really nice! I will give it a try and buy the kits.

End of july, beginning of august I think.
Motorplate is first version (#54225).

Btw, have you noticed the new option parts for 502X?

Blue alu steering bridge (#84230)
Blue alu propeller shafts with Tamiya logos (#84231)
Spur gear plates and slipper shaft cup (gold anodized)? (#84232)

You have probably seen some of the parts on Lees and Marcs cars here on Oople...

Johannes: I wish I could be a Tamiya engineer, but it will never happen...
But thanks.
