Im not going for the bling factor this time, so the tamiya is my choice.
Plastic on a 2wd doesnt bother me as much, as I know the car is
gonna be a tank, like the 501x is.

Tamiya stuff is easier for me to get, as your supposed to support your local
tracks. Not buy stuff online. My lesson was learned on that deal.
I buy directly from tamiya usa if my shop doesnt have it in, just send
tamiya usa a money order and I'm covered!

Get on the pre order list matey, you know it makes sense
I had a go with Matt Haskell's B4 at PDA last night and it was that good I would have been happy to have used it all night. It had more grip, more side bite and more of everything than my CR2 so if the Tamiya is a B4 clone with better plastic and better shocks I can see it being excellent.

I was going to preorder but I don't want to get bummed on the price so for the sake of a couple of weeks I'll wait until its in the Hk and Jp shops and try get the best deal.

Anyone know if its got the improved ballcups? I havn't heard anything about them for a month or too.

Hmm, looking at pics of it at Long Beach GP in the staes on a stand, still has the blue turnbuckles and gold shocks, be good to find out if it comes with them and therefore doesn't need them as extras!

Hoping to get mine through Stella, no price yet though as they need a yen/$ exchange rate based on the date they pay for the stock!

Same here, I never pre-order... I'll wait for it to land on US soil first and look for the best price.
