nice one
i find this interesting lol

"ORRC - Driving a rear motor buggy in 2wd, and still being highly successful, do you feel a Tamiya mid-motor would make you even quicker on British high grip tracks?

Lee - Of course! I think that's a given. I have been almost 'handicapped' on UK tracks for the past 2 years, so I think it's time we evened the score "

a trf201 mid-motor in the work??????
i hope so.

I guess they couldn't go forever without stepping up really...but lets not forget, Lee drives rear motor against many mid-motor cars and still wins...if he doesn't win he is fast as hell still

I'm sorry but if anyone is using a Vega conversion they are not driving a tamy car anymore.and I honestly think it look ugly. I prefer wait the proper kit from tamy.

Don´t think he is allowed to use a conversion kit, only option parts.

Think he will make sure that Tamiya do the right thing.
Tamiya are lucky to have him, in many ways.

Lets hope they pay him good and give him the right tools.

guinness: The TRF201 was released ~1,5 years ago.
