Tamiya would be smart to design this new 4WD buggy with counter rotating center shafts. This design philosophy is used in current Superbike engine designs to cancel out the gyroscopic effect of a single rotating mass (the engine crank). If this new car in fact has counter rotating shafts you would get to have your cake and eat it too. You would get the well mannered mid air behavior of a belt drive paired with the low down torquish grunt and durability of a shaft drive. I will be following this car very closely, but for now I have a brand new TRF511 with Hop Ups to build, as well as a brand new DB01R still in the box. DB02 can wait until next fall. Maybe they will release a DB02R or a TRF512 by then.
