Tamiya will stick to what they do best recently - keep releasing the re-res, sell TRF kits with minuscule changes and keep creating many variations of the TB03 and TA05 chassis' to pump out new kits  .. I will not hold my breath  ..... |
Think your being a bit harsh, they just go for evolution not revolution, which works fine with good kits!! In 2 revisions since the original 501 they've changed:
Chassis/weight dist., driveshafts, hub carriers, spindles, suspension mounts, diff and pulley sizes, belts, motor mount system, bulkheads, top decks, camber link mount system, suspension arms. That's really quite a lot!!
The TC's are the same, they actually tweak lots of little bits!
