Default Tamiya 42138 416 World Edition In Stock ?

Hi guys

Does anyone know of any shops in HK or the USA that have a 416 WE in stock please ?

Purchasing from Europe just makes it extortionately expensive - and even then they arent in plentiful supply.

many thanks !

the ONLY place i could get a World Erition was in a hobby shop 200km's away , they wouldn't ship it and it was €500

bought it , love it and if you give me £500 it's yours

seriously , i looked every where for one and could't find one

my mate works as a Rep for a rc supplier and i asked him to see if he could get one in the shops he visits and he came up dry also

Good luck , or buy the cheap shit FAKE one made in China

I was thinking about picking up a WE, but if they're coming out with a new one maybe I'll just wait. I won't need it until this fall anyways.

Any news on the new 417 coming out?

It was out of production the moment they shipped it. All TRF cars are limited edition, and usually only have one production run. The original 416 and TA05-R were one of the few that got two production runs due to high demand. No worries, TRF releases a new car every year...

If you are in the U.S. and want to buy a TRF416 WE, the best way is to go to your local hobby store and ask them to order one for you. They will then contact their distributor, who will then order from us. Tamiya USA still has them in stock, but if your hobby store doesn't order it, there won't be any around. We are the only ones left with any in the world at this point.

How do you think this car would compare to the kyosho tf5 stallion? I know tamiya is super high quality stuff, not much experience with kyosho though
