RC TRF416X Chassis Kit Item #42162
The TRF 416X was developed using race data recorded by our worldwide team drivers. The TRF 416 has won numerous races around the world and has become a very popular championship-winning machine. As a result, the worldwide demand for the TRF416 lead Tamiya to produce two additional production runs of the product, which sold out instantly. The new and improved TRF 416X will be a strong candidate at the 2010 IFMAR world championship.

Hi guys,
The WEs are very forgiving cars to drive...works on almost any tracks. I expect the X to have more steering....other than that...yet to see. For EP cars, just slight design change will affect the car's handling tremendously...so i guess these little changes here and there will add up.
Its expected to reach us next month...as for pricing...well, the pricing of our WEs previously were cheaper than most countries including HK. This time will be the same too...

Release is December. 63840YEN. Do not go by TamiyaUSA prices. They are suggested retail for USA market. They are never sold that high unless if you are truly desperate for a kit directly from the distributor.

Actually, the price may be higher. That was one price posted by a store. Tamiya website says 83,790 Yen.
