The body is the DB01 Baldre body - you can already buy it seperately and I think DCM on here has bought several for his own fleet of DB01 cars. Once I upload the big gallery you can see it closer and see how he adapted the undertray from the 501X to fit. Not sure if Tamiya will release an alternate undertray for this shell on the 501X but it would be nice.
I think the way Tamiya work is that they send out these development parts to their overseas race team to test - but the real stuff goes on out of sight in Japan. Hupo wasn't sure if the CVD's would be coming or not, he assumed so, but so far I've never heard about their availability.
I think I wrote about the CVD's in the worlds report - so I don't remember their exact reason for this change, but its about performance.
There's rumour of a shaft car and even a 2WD, but still nothing much confirmed.
