Looks like Tamiya are releasing another batch of TRF201's, this time including body shells.

Kit no. 42203 includes std TRF201 body
Kit no. 42204 includes Zahhak body

Both also come with a funky looking carbon battery strap.

And a new bodyshell looks to be in the pipeline -

Direct soldered NiMh cells??? That's not legal in any racing any longer is it? :lol:

Can look cool given a proper paint job me think! :wub

Can it?????

You can't polish a terd! :lol:

Yes it can :lol:

Ok, maybe it looks a bit gay but I like it. Err, the body that is! :D

Hmm, so it's 201 plus shell us battery strap plus lightweight motor plate plus tougher diff gears...

Evolution is the new revolution!!

"rear motor is the new mid motor!"

Is that the zahhawk shell?

I like

I like it :thumbsup: So much nicer than the Zahhak box art. Different is good!

Yes it is the ZAHHAK body. Painted nicely it can look really nice! I will give it a try and buy the kits.

Will have to save up money! When is the release date? Maybe our special Tamiya engineer Fredrik has some releasee date?

End of july, beginning of august I think.
Motorplate is first version (#54225).

Btw, have you noticed the new option parts for 502X?

Blue alu steering bridge (#84230)
Blue alu propeller shafts with Tamiya logos (#84231)
Spur gear plates and slipper shaft cup (gold anodized)? (#84232)

You have probably seen some of the parts on Lees and Marcs cars here on Oople...

Johannes: I wish I could be a Tamiya engineer, but it will never happen...:lol:
But thanks.:)

when/how will i be able to get hold of a zahakk shell?

Is the TRF201 a better 2wd buggy kit than the RC10B4.1 ???
