Judging by the '3' being written out and replaced with a '4' on the bottom chassis and having 'made by T Custom' & 'BK Edition' written on it, plus a few other details like the belt ternsioners being used creating some weird belt angles, id say its a very nice 3rd party conversion but i cant see it being a new commercial TRF buggy kit.

Be interesting as a conversion kit though.

If that is a third party conversion and not a Tamiya model then it's done to an incredible standard. Even the underside chassis print is a near perfect match.

If anyone has anymore details on this car/conversion would be good to have a read up on it

If it's a home built conversion, top marks! The quality looks fantastic

MMMMM That looks like a platform for a 2wd hybrid. Looking at that.

Very 201 XMW. Very nice though.........

I wonder what parts he has used to make this conversion?

Is the centre spur mount from a Tamiya TC/Drift car??

Any links to the original website?

Looks like one of the drift spec centres, some fine homebrew engineering, look at those milled sidepods, id say its another insane Japanese home conversion!

The layout reminds a bit of the Vega 4wd, such a shame this never made it to production, it was one sweet looking 4wd!

I designed and made this car. (from South Korea)
This car's owner is B.K.Lee who was raced in IFMAR 2015.
He gave me a base concept, and I designed and made.

Custom parts:
Main chassis(Al6061 T6 Machined, Hard anodized)
Side guard(MC Nylon machined)
Center shaft (SCM 435)
motor mount (Al6061 Machined. shaft position is little changed from TA-05 Drift parts, for variable gear ratio)
front belt tensioner
Upper deck & battery straps (2.5t, 3t carbon plate)

Bottom and top side's print was marked by my tiny laser engraver.
Unfortunatly my USB memory was broken recently.
So I don't have the design files anymore.
It means, that car is only one on the earth
