Very nice, its lost a little bling but still looks great.
It doesn't appear to have vertical camber link adjustment front or rear, inside or out. but from the looks of it, those inner camber link braces look like they can be raised / lowered which would be a nice feature and make for quick and easy changes.
The wheels front and rear look like exact copies of losi front and proline rear wheels which isn't a surprise - I just wonder what fitment they use. I'd guess the same as their predecessors.
This certainly looks like the best Tamiya 4wd ever made, with the possible exception of the Avante maybe (for sheer coolness).
I can't wait to try fit these parts to my bj4 and see if it works! haha

I might have to order the one way


btw, that new DF03 shell looks cool also.



btw, why'd you delete your post kentech ? just wondered
