I think Tamiya will wait till Sunday (Worlds Finals) to release the full specs (for example the sus blocks config). So it should be possible to get the WE under the christmas tree (in Japan it will not be a tree - i guess).

At the moment I have noticed (my opinion):
All 2.25 standard TRF416 chassis plates are sold out. They will be worth a lot, when running 5 cells. The new WE plate is only good when running 6 cells.
Tamiya should release the spool outdrives with a 49xxx number. So it would be easyer to get them in the whole world.
The new WE topdeck would be also only good on low grip tracks (because it offers more flex). So be patient and keep you old lower and upper deck when building up your new WE.
I wouldn't be so sure on the top deck not being suited to high grip. I ran both the solid rear brace and cut one at this weekends carpet wars event (mega grip) and much prefered how the car performed with the cut brace.. Hell, I even managed to tq and win 13.5 with the car like it...
Plus the top 10.5 (tq and win also itt should be noted) and mod 416's were in this configuration too.
Regards
