Noticed that too. Though it's hard to see much from that picture it should be a decent kit. It it's well priced it'll do well but chances are it'll carry a similar price to a msxx, which begs the question; what's the point?

I would think with it's better ballance that it should be a better car, superior in every way to the 415.
Oh and yeah...my 05R is stock except the battery strap and towers.
And my M03M with what I added cost $230 total...and no, I use stock bearings and even the stock gear diff.

Core: I love how you've been defending this car to the death! I agree that the equal belt layout offers the best balance and I surprised it hasn't caught on as the "Next Thing" in TC design. I can only suspect that this next series of TA05 upgrades will lead directly to the TRF416 (hopefully retaining the mid motor/equal belt layout)

lol..it seems like I need to defend a lot of the time!
I agree that the f/r ballance is what makes this car what it is. Almost everything else on the car is pretty straight forward stuff. I also agree that if the 05MS or 05MSX doesn't replace the aging 415 the ballnce feature will find it's way to the next car....How many weeks til the REEDY race?

Now how will they mold that HUGE front splitter and intricate front end? And notice the Tamiya decals on the rear wing's endplates...
Either way, makes a sub-zero cool TC body Now I'm really really curious...how do they manage to fit a pushrod suspension on a TA05 front end?

WICKED suspension on the IFS (internal front shock???)
The MS appears to be what everyone had predicted. The question remains if it is a whole kit or a Dual CF Deck upgrade kit?
However, the shock towers and motor mount are identical to the Porcshe RSR kit so it may very well be a complete car kit - complete with standard battery brace (which I prefer over the flat CF one for side by side packs)
Thanks for the info.... "Mr. who shall remain nameless".....
