Thumbs up Lee Martin at Euros 2013

Must say, I was really inspired and impressed by Lee Martin at the Euros.

He´s 4th qualification run in 4WD was almost 2 sec faster than the second fastest driver (Hupo).
He was 7 seconds faster than Bayer and 3 sec faster than Jörn.

Really sorry for him that he did´nt win. He really deserved to win.

I guess you have seen that the 511 is still alive and there are more to come...

Source: rcracing.tv

"Lee told us he went with the 511X because it’s smoother to drive and has a suspension more to his taste than the 502X, going over the bumps much better, which makes it his preferred car.

Lee is running a totally new prototype chassis layout which follows on from Tamiya’s testing at the worlds warm up race just a few weeks ago…

At the time of publishing we still hadn’t received the green light from Japan to publish… so, we’re showing you as much as we’re allowed!"

So there's going to be an 'upgrade' to the upgrade kit?

We still can't get spares for the first one.

And if we haven't bought a TRF502 since that and nobody's running it at the highest level...

Great job Tamiya!
