TRF Worlds Rumors

[MITamiya]

With the Worlds coming up later this year I wondered if anyone had heard of any new TRF releases aimed at winning the IFMAR World Championships. I realize the 201 is still a great car, and the 502/511 upgrade packs are nice, but will Tamiya counter the RB6, B4.2, TRL22, B44.2, K1, Xray 4wd, etc that are all newer or newly upgraded? With all these new vehicles out there, it should be a great year for the Worlds.
It also would be nice for Tamiya to get Lee Martin some help! A few top caliber teammates sure would be great.
Any rumors or thoughts out there?

It certainly would! The upgrade pack on the 511 has probably added a little pace to the car especially on dirt but I think Lee prefers the 502 on dirt? Not sure. What other Tamiya drivers are capable of an A final? I doubt there'll be a new kit as it not really how TRF do things is it? Maybe more upgrades.. Might even be a mid car as an upgrade pack too?

I think the TRF needs to release an updated 201 - longer chassis as that's what LM is running on dirt al of the time these days. The 511 and 502 with their upgraded chassis sets and other tweeks are capable cars! However, it would be good to see them 'keep up with the Jones's' and introduce some more tweaks, namely HL Big Bore Shocks!
