Oh snap, it uses the original bodyshell, that means my two beautiful Kifo bodies will be of use afterall!

Sounds like it is going to be a XMW with a plastic chassis and some options.
Since the same body comes with it, it can't be a completely different car if that has to fit, well not that it fits the xmw properly but that's another story. |

I don't think it will be a major update as it sounds like it uses the trf201 front end.
also you can use touring car straight packs with a low profile servo. I think the car could look like the durango 2wd?

My guess is a current front end, and a revised rear with a low grip tranny, as for the chassis profile, why change that if its not neccessary, yup if say a more dedicated LG car?
And we know Tamiya dont go nuts over bodyshell updates, just look at the 4wd stable! Lee

100% With Lee on the body front. The majority of buggy bodies interchange. RB6,201,Centro,22 and Jconcepts will fit each other.
As for Tamiya again 100% with Lee, Tamiya dont do bodies again the majority of TRF Buggies DO NOT come with bodies. TRF 201 TRF 511 TRF 502 TRF 503 Did not come with bodies. TRF 501 was a love or hate body TRF 501 Worlds again love or hate it.

The 501x is one of my all faves, its alien and insane. The Dynastorm, still possibly the most delicate and gorgeous buggy ever created, and i mean delicate in style, its just, beautiful!

Dilema,
Snap up an XMW as the price has dropped a little or wait for the 211? My XM is working well on carpet. Good to hear it will have an aluminium rear gear box. Helps keep the motor cool and provides a rigid rear section. TRF Blue XM rear gear box definitely has the bling factor so hoping they do the same on 211. So will Tamiya have the only "Plastic" mid motor chassis'd 2wd car?

Looks pretty close to the XMW that is sitting on my desk right now, but with a new "plastic \ composite \ quickform" material chassis and some option parts. Only real difference in design I see other then the chassis is some connection between the battery brace and the gearbox brace. |

Looks like to me there is a new motor plate with the motor further away from the driveshafts. Will be good to see a bigger picture...... Ha just seen the one above

Was hoping for something more TBH. Motor does look more forward, the rear brace seems to show that, but its like a tweaked plastic Vega.....hmm, need to see more, and still no blooming hex hubs, come on Tamiya, get with the program lol.

Such a waste
Wow... just saved a whole bunch of money after seeing this...... just gave to give up only a arm now for the chassis and little bits to try it out vice losing a arm, leg and other male body part to purchase the whole kit.....
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....
