I heard about this a while back but im surprised how similar it looks to the Yokomo BX. Even the shocks look like they could be off the yoke. It doesn't appear to be on the list of releases so I guess its not coming out yet??

:-O i hope this doesnt mean that they arent going to persue a TRF version of the DI (which i still say will be the trf406x).... Knowing Tamiya though they'll probably develop and release both... same way they have the 415 and the evo 5

I know you won't get ANY sense if you contact hobby co in the UK (Tamiya's UK distributor) but there are ways and means.

thats got to be the first belt drive i've been tempted by... only cause its a tamiya :-P

I found on the tamiya japan site a pic of the cheap 2wd (sand viper) and below it in the pic is the shell that i've seen related to the 406x, its a b4 shell, so looks like that was there, so maybe someone has some pics of it..
