I love the Tamiya names, I wonder if they just pick 2 random words from the dictionary and put them together.

I am sorely tempted to get one of these and spend a small fortune upgrading it. I did this many years ago with a Manta Ray and had huge fun beating the odd 'proper' buggy with it.

I think the shell should look great with a proper paint job on it. I am going to get one of these myself. they look fantastic with all the hop ups but yea, very expensive to buy them all!
I'll probably get the slipper and front one-way, the shocks might be a bit over my price range though. |

Looks pretty cool - reminds me of the old school Tamiya's we all had growing up, i haven't seen many new ones for years, i used to love it as a kid looking at the Tamiya catalogues at all the off road cars - Thunder Shot, Terra Scorcher, Manta Ray, Big-Wig, Hornet, Madcap, Boomerang, Frog, Avante etc. As Chris said they really do choose the most random names but it works |

B4 turnbuckles, DF02 CVD's on the front, couple of chassis mods, RW layshaft and a B4 slipper, DF03 shocks and it is a good 'un.
I am liking the shell a little more now. Tamiya, please PLEASE just start naming your chassis with it's designation, like DF03 instead of these embarassing names, lol. Rob, mine is on it's way to being hopped up, trying to work out which shinny blue bits to use at the moment, and waiting on the 3Racing chassis conversion for it too....

I don't think it will Jim, it is the typical imperial and metric thing that gets in the way. Just shoot an email to RW Racing for a layshaft and then chuck a B4 unit on there.

Seen the chassis now, their stuff looks alright, I will probably get official Tamiya stuff if I buy anything though. But I tested my luck by emailing them - again. I love to get shot down.

Is the car out already ? Do you know where I can get one and pay using PayPal ? |

that actual shell model isn't out yet, you can get a Dark Impact and then get the shell.
That car itself drives quite nicely, I got a set of steel outdrives coming for the rear, as the rear diff is a tad fiddly, made a set of carbon towers for it, got the DF-03 shocks (they are like the TRF shocks for the tourers)

Early december I think its first released Rob. Thats what I was told.
I quite like getting shot down steve, makes me try harder. I hope tamiya will release a hopped up version of this car, its a promising platform. |
