The problem with TRF buggies is not the rate of refresh - it's the continued availability of kits and spares. Usually it's a case of once they're gone, they're gone for good. It means people are reluctant to commit. Support for Tamiya products in the UK, to a level where you can use one regularly to race, is frankly pathetic. I know some small traders like JD Models have tried to fill the gap, but they shouldn't have to - Tamiya's main distributor should be taking up the slack. Most folks just get their Tamiya spares from Hong Kong.
