What I don't understand is why there is a white Tamiya connector and a Nickel battery in plain sight on that mid-motor 201.
Anyway, I hope Tamiya is not showing them off in a gallery, but also putting thoughts into why some of these models were made... They could realize that many people even run mid-motor cars on clay.
Perhaps they should be the first brand to offer a car/kit with a complete rear end swap between mid and rear motor converting, good weight distribution adjustability as standard and adjustable rigidity to make the car adjustable further? Also, a decent system to 'store' the 'excess' wiring on the car in mid motor (or to minimize the difference in length that's needed)?
I mean, if you look at the fact that people still buy 2 DEX210s or 2 TLR 22s, then apparently using one car for 2 jobs doesn't work. So there is a chance for Tamiya to pick that up. Or they should follow the 'Schumacher' route: Two different purpose built machines for one type of surface each.
