DB02 cheaper alternative to TRF502 announced tamiya 58507
Tamiya release schedule:
58507- RCC Middle Class Shaft Buggy DB02. Might help get some cheap spares, also looks like they are moving away from belt off road buggies

I had exactly the same thought when I saw this: The excitement about the fact that Tamiya will release a new buggy, but the disappointment that this is probably the end of the line for Tamiya's belt driven buggies.

http://tamiyablog.com/wp-content/upl...58507-db02.jpg There you go! Seems like this car will have a centre diff? I hope it will be one that can be filled with oil then! I see a slipper clutch in the design as well, so there are hopes Tamiya will finally release a club racer/high end basher with a slipper clutch!? I do think they need to re-consider that body - hideous! The wing seems to be the TRF501X/DF03 MS one. |

From Tamiyablog...
Very wide shell. Why? Because it seems to be concealing a transverse motor with a complicated central gearbox. Superficially it looks like a centre diff, but I think it is actually a dual-gear drive, one for the front gearbox, the other for the rear. Interesting solution, rather like one of the possible ways of building the Awesomatix touring car, and evocative of the classic Tamiya 4wd chassis. Puts the motor in the ideal orientation for getting the power down, but also hangs it out off the side of the chassis.[/URL] |

I thought that at first, but if you look a the relative position of the bearings for the output shafts, they are offset, so the two pairs of gears are not meshing together.

Appears to have enough space to take a third saddle pack under the rear drive shaft
What would make this really awesome is if they had designed the body shell to emulate the manta ray!!
