42288 TRF211XM

Coming soon

Whats this Chris,

Any pictures !!!!:woot::woot::woot:

Awesome! Just one thing though... I wish they didn't use this name - for anyone trying to source a TRF211 (The prototype that came before the Dyna Storm) it will be impossible once a car is released with the same name...

Again, that said... I'm curious :) Who has developed this in absence of a EU-top driver?

I think it will be along the lines of the Yokomo and Xray. Low rider gearbox.

Only my opinion if its been designed for the Worlds.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Without any top pro supporting development (even the us drivers havnt been that active with anything) be interesting to see whats changed
But they need to bring it into the times (full front & rear hex hubs, front end to have abit of a make over,) and hopefully they have a XR rear mount version for everybody else not running sugar glazed tracks

I would of thought Naoto would have had some input. I know hes on-road for the TRF Team, but his off road knowledge will be huge coming from the Team he came from.

Glad to see Tamiya is still trying to get our money every two years or so:confused::eh?:

I would very much doubt it as he's contracted to Kyosho for off road.

And often succeed at that ....:woot:

Guessing from the name 2 11 I would think it is going to be a car with the motor in the middle and a small belt to the rear like the Schumacher KF2.

Kentech posted a small translated discription.

What i found interesing:

"■ High strength, high elasticity and high impact resistance to the excellent new material "Quick Form (R)" adoption of the bathtub chassis!"


Return to the plastic bathtub chassis?

Yes the new material is similar to what on road bicycles use for composite rims... very strong yet flexible at the same time :yawn:

So its being unveiled at the Shizuoka Hobby show, personally i cant wait. Wonder if it really will be a high grip astro car?

waiting impatiently

Blue Low Rider Gearbox YEAH BABY :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool: I know Lee, not long now matey......

You going to preorder Mark? Hope it is a low rider high grip car, shock us to our core Tamiya and fit it with hexes too lol!

Yes Lee, good chance matey I will order/get one. Cant wait to see what Tamiya have done. If its been designed for the Worlds which has been stated then I would of thought it will be along the lines of Yokomo and Xray maybe ?.

My guess is,

Narrow tub chassis like the VEGA.
Multi-layout battery options (hope saddles side by side option across chassis)
Low Rider Gearbox.

Only my guess and opinion but hope its the above. Oh and with a BLUE GEARBOX.....:D

Oh pack it in Mark im drooling haha!
