I too don't care it's a non-revolutionary rear-drive 2wd buggy. It'll work just fine.
I'll buy one cos it's Tamiya, and they make me feel warm and loved inside. And it's metric - I can't bear imperial fixings on AE etc products! And it'll share some parts with the 511 etc. |

They know it's gonna be a great car, or they wouldnt be talking bad about it. And I love my 501x, I'll never sell it, it just means alot to me because it drives better on clay than my B44 does. Yeah I've been in some hectic race battles with my 501x, a sponsored driver comes and kills me on the track. But I keep getting better on the track with it. Takes years and practice to get good with something. I'm hoping it comes out before the new SC10 does. I want BOTH!

THE wes IN MY AREA quit and is going to Rochester Dam, and Radcliff
Kentucky for Rock Crawling competitions. He'll be back though I hope. Rock Crawling is a hard sport to be in. He spent $2,000 on rock crawling stuff recently. I like going fast not slow....I have no interest in crawling.

Sparrow do we really need spam on this website.
Not meaning to be rude, but pal that's just against the rulz man. XGod races in Missuri, if you wanna talk to him yourself get on rctech and find him! He's not that hard to find trust me.... Now can we please continue to talk about this TRF 2wd buggy coming out soon.

It is great to see a proper metric based 2wd from Tamiya but I do not get the feel that it is from the TRF camp with the current design. It is fantastic to see so much happening in the 2wd market and may the best car win

I wonder if anybody who knows how to work a computer better than me could possibly translate and paste the text from the TRF site in here???? .Thanks

I’ve decided to actually do something useful for the site and put my linguistic skills to full use here. I wonder how many places my translation will get used...
Anyways here is the info on the site New 2WD Off Road Buggy (prototype name) Due in June, Planned Retail price 34,800 Production of the 2WD prototype buggy confirmed! Despite using a conservative rear end motor layout, the transmission case and chassis design has been designed using TRF know-how to create a high end 2WD buggy The transmission case (gearbox), which is key to a 2WD buggy has 3/32” inch ball x 12 diff, 2.6mm diff screw and new design thrust bearing. Diff carrier, gear teeth and ball hole design have were particular areas of attention, giving long term performance. Main chassis has vertical battery layout, with glass reinforced nylon for high strength and light weight. Chassis roll has been optimised using reaction and split line as well as material factors. Side skids have been designed to prevent raising centre of gravity whilst delivering optimum performance. Other features include aeration damper with HL coated cylinders, titanium coated piston rods, Teflon guides, Teflon seal ball bearing, turnbuckles are blue titanium, WO type Universal shafts. Well thats about all I could make of it. I do like th eprice. If it does retail for 35000 yen, that means the actual shop price could be something like 25000-30000 making the car about £175-£220 even with the current crappy exchange rate. I certainly want one but wish they would find a way to put the 3mm balls in the diff like all the other TRF cars. I guess the diff is too small for that? |

I too wish the diff shared parts with the other TRF cars... But yes, the geared diff will be smaller - I'm guessing similar size to the RB5 diff. Fingers crossed at least the screw and diff rings will be the same! At least 3/32 ceramic balls are easy to find! |
