That has been on the drawing board for nearly a year and we havent heard a thing about it for ages. I believe it has been shelved.

Hmm, wonder if the same thing has happened to the 801E, for whatever reason (Market, economy, politics, competitiveness) it seems a few potential vehicles may never see the light of day!

I guess a major issue is whether enough people in he markets SC and 8thE are popular in run Tamiya at all to make it viable!?

tamiya's prices really aren't the most competitive our there, their 201 isn't bad (although its just a b4 ) but their 1/8 buggy was expensive, then you still had to drop the weight w/more expen$ive option parts. the 4wd is $$$. $120 more then the kyosho and and only $150 less then the full opt. durango with less options.. if they could drop the prices tamiya could really do some damage. i know Tamiya does everything in house, but so does Kyosho and their 1/10th scales are still cheaper.

but regardless, i'd like to have an arsonal of TRFs this fall for the winter season i'm still debating though

Is the 201 really just a B4?
Are the RB5 cheaper than 201?

Don´t think 511 is so expensive, has less plastic than any other buggy? Not only that, it also has performance like no other buggy...
