Shame its a limited release. Would love to see a proper FWD version on general release.
Very interesting.

Not sure a proper FWD version would offer much that the M-05 doesn't already since the TA05-M is using the existing M-chassis suspension parts.

I'm more interested to see whether this is the catalyst for Tamiya's entry into the 4wd mini market with a normal-release, which could bring this class to life.

Also intriguing to see the 380 motor in there. Perhaps 380 is the way M-chassis cars need to go to keep the slow-cars-good-racing philosophy going in the brushless/Lipo age.
