54312

I am gonna get myself two 511s with geardiffs:thumbsup: Only hope the diff covers fit around them too.

I am pretty sure Fredrik knows if the gear diffs fit the diff cover. Fredrik: do you know anything about the spec of the new 511?

Spoke with him yesterday and forgot to ask:blush:
Sure it does. If not, he will make them work.

Got two kits on pre order:thumbsup:

where from?

From a friend in a country far far away:) Pre order is perhaps the wrong term but he can camp outside Iphone 5 style if it comes to that;)

Anyone got any more info on this yet? Is it even confirmed there's a kit and it's no just diff's being released?

It's just a bit odd if there's a new kit just coming that Tamiyausa just got more standard 511's in stock?

I'd be interested too Dave:confused:
Borderline selling the car I have now as not sure if I'll be racing for a bit. All depends on a new kit release date?

Found another Japanese site that says this to confirm the fact. So far I have only seen it on one other site before but two Japanese people can not be wrong.. or is it a billion Chinese people? :woot:

Depends how much is changing, the 511 I've got has just about everything required on it.

Was thinking the same when i read here that it will be a complete kit. Both Japanese pages say release date late August, as far as i know we have late August, still no confirmation by Tamiya on their site, not even future release note. Just want to say that this time there is different habit to how they normally release kits... strange i must admit :confused:

look here then we know what is new

I don´t believe it´s something "trivial" like the release of a new Tamiya TRF kit. It must be something more important to Tamiya i think...

512? lol

i do not hope that original 511 kit with gear diff unit will be released as a new chassis kit, without changing anything on the chassis. personally, 511 that has been released for a long time has already started to be boring. i think the new chassis kit will soon be released, even if it is not august or september. my money has already been ready to pay for it.

Same for me :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Since my last post I've had it confirmed from an anonymous but to my mind guaranteed source in the far east that a kit is definitely being released...although not whether there are any changes beyond the diff's!

The Tamiyausa thing is Tamiyausa specific (it says it's to showcase Tamiyausa)...so either not a kit or an American designed kit...outside chance it's a new 801 I guess (that's Tamiyausa rather than Tamiya), but my guess is it's either not a kit, or is maybe and SC....total guess though!!

My guess from that website is that each thing listed is happening

Regarding the countdown, if it was a new kit then chances are it would be leaked by now. Best thing TamiyaUSA could do is let people not in the USA buy stuff from its online store.
