I hope it's true. Gosh Id buy one in a heatbeat.
I'll wait and see if one shows up on thier website by then.
If not I'll have to get a B4 or something.

Same rumor for over 5 years now. Highly doubtful...

I donīt know why they havenīt released a 2WD TRF yet. It seems many people ou there waited for it for years. It could be a good business for Tamiya and if they car wins a few races it would be a good advert fro them. I definitly would buy one...or two

Ditto, I'd buy one.

I think its inevitable at some point. It makes sense that when they got back into competition 4wd that they concentrated on 4wd first for a TRF buggy, as Tamiya have always favoured a slightly over engineered approach to their cars.

But back in the day remember there was always the TRF202x which basically became a Dynastorm
