They have been pretty frequent until this time, if I remember right:
Late 06: TRF501X
Autumn 07: TRF501X Worlds
Start 09: TRF511
Late 2010: TRF502
So somewhere between one and two years between each....we're due soon!
Also, fit in the 2wd:
Early summer 2010: TRF201
Summer 2011: TRF201 Upgrade kit
I wouldn't be surprised to see something both 4wd and 2wd during the year based on all that, though whether it'll be anything all new I don't know!?
I'm guessing maybe longer 2wd chassis, maybe big bores (I am not convinced they need them but it'd be good revenue)...4wd chassis wise I don't know, trf511 updated for lipo fitment and weight distribution? TRF502 with better steering and camber link arrangement?
Or they could do nothing, money is tight and trf offroad probably isn't a big profit maker. Tam US appeared to bin the trf801xe, and don't seem to be spending on the 801x, if some of that direction has come from Japan then maybe it gives hint at their thoughts!
