Need a TRF 2wd Buggy! When?
 

I am enjoying the 501X so much I would love to have a 2wd buggy made off of the 501X. Of coarse not just the 4wd with the front drive removed but a 2wd purpose designed buggy.
I don't even care to drive my Losi buggy or truck anymore.

Is there anyone that knows if there is one in the works or is it just a dream for now?

Thats a very good question that i think many of us on here have talked about before and still we have no answer. Tamiya will surprise us with something competitive by the end of the year i think. Thats just a guess though. Don't take my word for it. lol

Rumour has it Hupo Hönigl is having a car built to his taste by Tamiya.....

As said it's a rumour!

Since he's driving an X6 now, I hope it's not an X6 copy.

Its going to be mid motor, a carbon x-6 from what i am told ;)

Bummer. I'm not a big fan of mid motor cars.

Yeh sorry stefke, mid motor with B4 geometry. Lee, I thought I'd heard it was going to have a moulded tub though, like the Durga? :confused:

G

Possibly G, like S2 stylee. I Have heard though that the motor will be further back than on the X6 and s2 and the rear tower will straddle the motor and the motor is intended to be inline with the driveshafts ;)

Tamiya really need to step up their act and get a 2WD TRF buggy out.

they have a TRF 4wd and a 1/8 off-road.

have you seen the MS buggy they have out ? - it's a joke :D

What the DT02-MS I was gonna get one, but decieded it wasnt such a good idea. I mean it's just a dressed up desert gator. Nothing special.

The Egrees is the only tamiya 2wd Id take racing, but it's so expensive
if you find one on Ebay.:yawn:

The Egress is four wheel drive! :confused:

I have raced a couple of Tamiya 2WD's

i used to race this;

i am aware that there is no buggy's there, i couldnt find a decent 2wd buggy

when will you ever stop giving the wrong info?!

the DT02MS uses a SandViper body. nothing special to you but i've seen people raced and won with this buggy.

the EGREES WAS and IS a FOUR WHEEL DRIVE.

According to another forum the 2WD TRF buggy will be announced in August. I'll be interested to see what its like... Maybe a Carbon Fibre Holiday Buggy :)

I wish to sign the petition, I have three Astutes (an original, an RRC Work Edition and a Super) and a Dyna Storm, I bought a DT02MS as soon as I saw the box art with the TRF wing decals:wtf: in the hope it would be a decent DS replacement, oh how wrong and badly let down was I:thumbdown: Come on Tamiya as long as I know something aimed at top level competition is on the way I can wait.

Is this just a rumour guys or is there real substance to this? As much as I love the B4 I'd prefer to run a Tamiya of comparable ability. No real reason for the preference, its just in the blood.:)

Tamiya has come up with a TRF 4wd truggy and not a 2wd buggy to disappoint some and make some happier :D

TRF 801Xt 1/8 Nitro truggy

P.S: Move if posted on the wrong place :P

The TRF truggy is from Tamiya USA, Its Tamiya Japan that are doing the 2wd Trf (the prototype is already racing appar)

whats this?

Scroll down to about halfway down the page

In the report it describes it as a home-made chassis by a Finn guy which is a mixture of 501x and an associated B4 with some custom parts :)
