If it wins the worlds, then certainly yes, anything else, from a business point of view, would be plain stupid. If not, who knows really

Tamiya and Hot Bodies both released "worlds" versions after the '07 worlds, neither of them winning. Its a great opportunity to release a car with the updates the TRF drivers are using. I would hope they do, the car is great however now.

We shall see

Thats right, Hupo didnt win the worlds when they released the 501WCE.

They must release a 511WCE : when Lee nails it

I´m 100% sure Lee will win.

I think they should release a TRF511 LME (Lee Martin Edition).

that looks like that 3m carbon effect vinyl wrap that you can stick on your chassis as protection. you can still see the cell slots if you look closely.

Did think about that stuff, but didn't look closely enough - time for another look

The #42163 TRF511 Lipo tray is discontinued...

We´ll see what happens, release of a new (better) tray or...?

Are you referring to the upside down shot of Lee's car. Maybe he's just using carbon chassis tape to minimise damage/scratches, rather than a new chassis.........?

Edit - beaten to it!!
