it's planned to be 59800 Yen. But price may change considering that it is scheduled for end of Feb.

used alta vista world translate, but to no avail. Best thing you could do is eamail them and ask how to go on ordering it.

R10 always seems to have a great inventory, and I appreciate that...but they stick it to those of use who order from across the pond, offering only full retail

im at a controverse here between a evo3 surikan and a trf 415. i know this the trf 415 thread but since i dont feel like reading all pages on the evo3 thread i just thought u ask since most or all of you own or run a taymia evo3.... also the other reason im asking is because that this also depends on me waiting till the trf 415 come out in the US or just going to my hobbyshop and picking up a evo3 surikan.

well, in my opinion, i do like the Evo3 platform, but i usually have to get the latest TRF car anyway. the 415 will probably prove to be an excellent car, but the evos already have a strong following, and some just prefer the shaft over the belt drive...

I think either car would be good. The problem with the Evo3 is the weak 1-way gear. Takes much shimming and fiddling with if you run it out of the box, to keep it from stripping. Even if you think you got it, stripping still happens. It is not a perfect science. I like the EVo but it has not rocked my world like the 414 had done.

The 415 is based off a totally new design, off the 414, 414x, TA04, 414m, 414m2 development chain. Granted the design is different I do think it probably will be good out of the box like the latest Tamiya racing chassis (414/EVO) versions have been.

Maybe since you have a TC3 wait for the 415 instead of the Evo. There probably will be an EVO4 out soon anyway.
