The Schumacher and Tamiya cars appear to be nice pieces on the surface, but completely untested and unproven. The loads of lemmings running for something new
because it's new will only serve to populate the second-hand market with relatively brand new cars when they can't get on like they had with their "old" B4s by this time next year.
The B4 is still the reigning multiple-time World Champ, and still winning consistently everywhere with proven parts and setups. If you like to be a guinea pig with the latest and greatest of everything, by all means, be my guest and spend the money on a new chassis. But please do let me know when you're ready to sell that lightly used SV or TRF with loads of spares for $.60 on the dollar in a few months.
