TRF502?
 
Rc Market have mentioned a TRF502 part number 42183, anyone heard anything of this??

I've got 2 brand new 511 kits in my spare room, doh!:(

Yeah i saw the exact same post from RC Market. I do know that Tamiya is releasing a new TRF 4wd but i never expect it to be so soon. My local Tamiya distributor did tell me that it's been confirmed that the TRF501x and TRF511 are both discontinued.

Seems a strange number pattern: 501 --> 511 --> then back to 502? :eh?:

Yeah bit odd, maybe this is totally new, 511 was the same "philosophy" as 501.

Anyone fancy a bnip 511!?

How much ?:thumbsup:

Ill stick with my 511 for this winter anyways ! Cant imagine it is going to be light years ahead of the 511 when the current car seems about the best all rounder on track already !

You banned Bav from the booze?

My guess is that it's going to be similar to the TRF501x/TRF511 but with little updates to make lipo packs fit better...

You've got WHAT in your spare room? And the world has been wondering where they've all gone!

Hehehe, jokes on me now though!

Word on RCtech is new car is shaft drive I think from one of their drivers over there, so pretty new, though they may still leave the geometry alone!?

Funkymojo 03-09-2010 05:40 PM

Is the TRF511 that hard to come by? It's everywhere from where i come from and sadly it's not popular over here, even with good parts support, the TRF501x/TRF511 was never a really popular choice compared to Kyosho, AE, HB, Yokomo...etc, but i have to say that the TRF501x/TRF511 are great handling buggies, it's very easy to drive.

So...what stores do you recommend in Singapore?

And has anyone else had experiences with these retailers or buying R/C from Singapore in general?

mattybucks 03-09-2010 06:33 PM

I bet it's a hoax!!

Details of any singapore sites would be good.

The rumor I heard was that of a plastic chassis to replace the 511 because supposedly the team drivers are faster in practice with the durga...

Not sure what you're talking abt, Champ has them in stock...

Alan1467 03-09-2010 07:12 PM

The rumour I heard was a TRF 1/10th off-road 4wd shaft drive

Probably plastic shaft drive! A Tamiya take on the B-Max and FS, I think Yok and Kyosho dominated the Japan champs recently from what I could see, maybe Tamiya have decided to go down a similar route!

I still think they'll go big bore soon too, again following K and Yok, otherwise why give away the gold shocks with the 201?

People in Hong Kong need to keep quiet about sensitive information. All questions will be answered at the Tokyo Hobby Show.

qatmix 03-09-2010 08:17 PM

I also heard the info about it being a shaft car. They are also releasing a M06 pro chassis (rwd) in Nov
