Really had high hopes for this, but the more I have looked, the more i think its just silly release, no hexes, no other real mods other than a plastic chassis, its like a back dated B5M, and for crazy money, maybe its Ebay price hike time though, it could fall cheaper?

Don't think so, the XMW has also been pretty stable since it was released.
Going up a bit over $400 as it ran out of stock in several shops, and dropping a bit to the $379 it is on now

Did look on Stella earlier Roel but couldnt find it on there? Still seems a lot for an XMW derivative with a plastic tub, maybe itll go like the clappers lol.

They did exactly the same at 2013 worlds. Just before the worlds Tamiya bring out the XM. Then at the worlds there is XMW.

Yes Im for development but seems with the 211 xm they are just selling off 201 parts with the NEW CHASSIS being the selling point.

I feel like the XM there maybe a NEW buggy seen at the worlds. I wont be buying this buggy will wait to see what happens at the worlds. If they attend with what driver !!!!!!

Just my opinion.

Mark i think your just full of......LOL.......as it goes buddy, you have a great theory, could well be the case of shifting a load of obsolete parts, on a cheaper to produce chassis?
Machining the alloy plate, and machined side pods must be way more costly than running out that white composite tub, so yeah, ill buy that buddy haha.
I have no clue who will run the car at the worlds, was a bit let down they didnt really show at the warm up race.
All id ask is a low slung tranny, wheel hexes and ball cups that stay on in a minor knock....and im all over it lol.
I still need a TRF 2wd to adorn my Kifo bodies so i live in hope mate, but if this does fall in price in a big way, id still be tempted, just not at that price.

The release is a missed opportunity in some ways, but don't forget: They invested in a new mould for a car that will not be a best seller... Tamiya is always expensive, but it does sort of explain the price for what's basically a revamped old car, and perhaps in the future that means Tamiya is crazy enough to invest in 15-odd new moulds for a new platform

I ordered the parts directly from Tamiya Japan. And I have then shipped to my I laws house in Yaokohama then they send it to me in the states

All the parts cost 155$ USD after the yen to dollar conversion.. The rate is very good currently so took advantage of it... But shipping to me is about 30$ via EMS...
