Heres the parts list.

Cabbynate, Its the kit announced here, released March 30th.

http://www.teamyokomo.com/japan/0703/bxf.pdf

Has the new body, but still uses the 2 piece chassis. AFAIK a 1 piece chassis is not available from Yokomo.

Thanks for the info Jonathan. Glad to see it has not changed much from the original kit. Just looks like they added a few extras and a new body style.

I can also see

Pre assembled hardened drive shafts.

Front suspension brace is different.

Front diff is one way.

Rear turnbuckles are a different length.

I saw mention of a rear belt tensioner leading up to release, but I cant see it in the manual ?
