Default such a waste ?

XMW is very good out of box and this is next evolution...

211XM is finished older XM and XMW...
And sharing parts with older cars ? Why no ?

Chassis, battery mounts and rear suspension mounts and you have a 211xm for a fraction of the cost... everything else is XMW or pre-xmw parts....
I doubt will be like this ,I'm sure they made sure parts will not match with new chassis lol

Bottom of the chassis looks pretty flat, and with no bolts in the way for the seperate sidepods it should probably fit.

We will see.... but knowing Tamiya's Off Road track record as of late it might be 90% of the XMW/201 stuff will work on the chassis

So saddles side by side or a transverse shorty will only work if you get the Dremel out... That it's TRF201-based is nothing to complain about imo, but this is something they could've easily incorporated in the car, and broadened the options for this car on low-medium bite...

Still I'm curious about the material they're using for that tub

mmmm whats so special about the chassis. The only difference I see between 201 xm and the 211 xm is chassis material.

What advantage does this chassis have over the alloy.

I sure hope the gearbox from xmw fits. It would be nice to try out this plastic chassis. XMW is a bit heavy when built with the factory parts. But this could be just right for a low-medium grip. Not going back to rear motor for any condition.

I haven't tried original XM, but people say it was unstable for low grip..

The new chassis looks interesting. Wonder how much lighter it will be? Wonder if it will make the kit cheaper to produce, i.e. more affordable?

I think it lacks shorty battery pack options. All it needs though is some additional mounting holes for some brackets.

Black or white, it just aint as 'bling' as the XMW chassis. Further, I'm with a few others thing they should have made front hex axles. Rear Hexes are easy. I've just got a bunch of 503 versions from Stella. They just don't come with the screws!

I like the white. It reminds me of back in the day. RPM made a hybrid RC10 with very similar chassis.


Wonder if if could be dyed ???

These are the ones. You need to order the 1.6 x 4mm screws separately though.

Exclamation

Also the chassis will be white and here are the part #'s to update a XMW to a 211xm and a general price range too
New Chassis Part#10334079 (100$)
New Waterfall Part#13450694 (18$)
New Rear Battery Brace Part#13404054(8$)
New Battery Strap Part#13404055(12$)
New Rear Brass XA mount Part#13450695(15$)

So for about 150$ you can upgrade a TRF201XMW to a TRF211XM... sounds a lot cheaper to do it that way vice buying a whole new kit

Apparently 20th June release date. I am curious to how this chassis handles compared to the alloy.
