Oh man!!! All this speculation is making my mouth water already, that body looks great so yeah definately a shaftie with IFS.

A diff with 12 balls would also be a nice improvement - I am not sure if design or/and radius of diff gear allows this...

More than likely not, buy maybe the MS could come out with the IFS style front suspension. Who knows, they may even release a EVO 5 IFS or that could be the EVO 6 soon to come after the EVO 5 MS is released. This is typical of Tamiya.

Little quality pictures is shown, from announcement of Japan, there will release this new kit with 416 parts on 18/June in their country.
From the comment of some japanese said, this chassis must be awesome.
I hope they have enough unit to sell, not like 416, which make me feel so sick now, wait so much until my project have been withdrawed due all out of stock.

That is what i have expected.

416 Style steering, thinner and shorter upper deck, and the new 416 steering knuckles and rear uprights.

If it nearly perform like the 416, in Stock racing, than i think this car will be hard to beat in the right hands (hopefully in mine).

I never thought that they will realy release a new TB Evo now, but this is Tamiya

Is there also a shot from the TB03 available now?

Not only, don't see they have fixed the problem of changing spur gear, with more facility and faster.
I need Tamiya release spool if i have got this new chassis, instead will not work nothing, i really like to have a shaft car to 23T/11.5T races.
About your curiosity of TB03, is here:

The bodyshell that comes with the Tb03 is amazing!

Blueman Austria

What ???

Is this true? My yapanese is not good, so i cant read this!

This will be a realy good thing !!!

He just want to know if will release a "MS conversion kit" for original evo5.
I don't see it in the H. Show's list, then don't believe from myself will happen as you wished!
Shaft drive car are becoming unfamous, that's the matter.
But i really hope i could purchase a new kit, even i failed to have a 416.

If you look at the anouncment list from Tamiya for the Hobby show you found two items wich are named with Evo5MS.

One is the kit, and maybe the other one is an upgrade kit?

http://www.tamiya.com/japan/hobbyshow/index.htm

Also when you look at the picture form the car, i think the kit is listed with 61,800 yen, and if you look at the area under the frint bumper, there is also a item with 32,000 yen (half the price).

In the descripton you can also read TB 5 MS !!!

I think that could be an upgrade kit.!

That is just a limited edition of Alu. and Tit. screw set for TB evo5 MS, i don't know how could be "limited edition"?
But i think is just their promotion trick.
About the price, that 32000 is for coming soon Volac?
I think this price is just provisional, not fixed 1?
At a lot of japanese order sites, has variety of prices of this coming soon kit, mostly has previewed would be lower.
