I read that too. It's possibly a completely new moulding if the case. Perhaps plan is to change over all TCs to the new style? Expensive change for little benefit on the low end cars!

TB "Evolution"
ie: a highly evolved "TB" (Touring Car Shaft Driven) chassis.
for this one, no carbon double decks - "carbon" plastic tub will make this much cheaper and much more friendly on less than smooth surfaces.
Just another option.

sorry if this has been asked before, but wouldn't a 2nd deck be more beneficial? Or is a tub like this stiff enough. i have stopped this hobby for 15 yrs but this is a really nice car.

Ribbing and other vertical elements make the tub appropriately stiff.

I wonder how this new chassis will perform. I still have my TB-04 Pro II which I upgraded to almost all hop-ups. Still haven't used it because while I was doing the upgrades I read all about the issues here.
If it does perform ok then I will keep my chassis and just follow the new components integrated on the TB-04R.

I really don't see a big advantage for the R over the Pro II. The present trend is for softer chassis, more flex, so the harder carbon chassis is not a major plus. The carbon arms are more brittle than the stock ones. So unless you plan on running in mod there is not much benefit to the R. Also if you're running in mod, your most likely going to run a belt drive carbon chassis.
