First post on oOple! This news tempted me to finally join
 Really looking forward to seeing more about this car. Hoping the gearbox is a quantum leap forward in 2wd boxes for Tamiya. Have to say tho I was hoping till now for something super funky like the new Schumacher 2wd, but if this performs better than

Lee Martin and Kiyo Suzuki are at Cactus Classic with the buggy this week. I didn't know Lee would be traveling to the race, but it will be good to see what he can do.

Just read the first days report from that link, good luck Lee and good luck Tamiya.
 Its good to see tamiya getting involved but it has to be said that its a bit pathetic not allowing any pictures. Lets face it, it dosen't look like a "ground-breaking" new design does it.  What is there really to hide???

No photos is Tamiya's instructions, not Lee's and he does have to respect their requests.
Good 2nd round for Lee yesterday. 4th in 4wd and 6th in 2wd for the round. 2 out of 4 to count, so he has a good chance to make the main show in both premier classes. Lee is also running in mod truck and short course, but with borrowed cars... track time helps. Heats have been reseeded for today and Lee is in with the fast guys for round 3 and 4. That alone should help.

Do you think it is less pathetic to release "spy-videos" of cars?

Understand its tamiya's decision to not allow photos (not their drivers).
Its that decision I feel is pathetic. Is it not similar to lets say Ford Motor Co. road testing a five year old Vauxhall as their new model though. I would really love to race a 2WD tamiya as probably like everybody reading this, the name is special. This car (at the moment coz there's no photos) dosen't look that special.

Strange that no photos are allowed of the chassis. Must be a revolutionary design and not a copy of the plastic tub chassis cars of the last 20 years <sarcasm>.
Maybe after the Cactus race they won't be so secretive. Seems awfully silly to be protective of a design that seems by all accounts to be a B4 clone. Still, I'm anxious to see it up close.

What do you actually expect from it? Rear or midmotor? carbon chassi? How they place the turnbuckles and shocks? Shape of suspension arms?
Or is it just the plastic parts that disappoint you?

If you noticed, I even said SARCASM in my post. By all accounts, there isn't anything revolutionary in the car. Why be SO secretive in testing? Silly.
I'm only disappointed in the fact that they are being so "S-works" in keeping anyone from photographing the prototype without the body on. I don't have any expectations of it, I'm just happy to see a TRF 2wd buggy from Tamiya. It's about freakin' time.

My question was not a reply to just your post, it was a question to all previous posts that think it is just a B4 clone.

What i'd have expected in a 2wd TRF; mid-motored, belt driven, carbon chassis and offcourse blue alu bits. Basicly like all the other TRF cars.
It'd probably look great. But that wouldn't make it a good car to race.
