Anyway.....

Based on my information the hop-up parts should be released the same time as the kit. I'm looking forward to seeing our sample in the upcoming weeks.

anyway, if it share some parts with TA05, it shouldn't be too long before we see TB-03R i'd say 6 months to 1 year time.

other than that... it sure looks good and i'm always fond of shaft driven cars to race in 23T stock class.

hi doddy,
its been a long while....tb03 will use 416 susp setup & evo 5 drivetrain...perfect for 23t use.

yo Alan, been very long. i am no longer staying in the little red dot. how's things there. i'm looking forward for TB03 to arrive then i might want to use it for TAC qualifying we'll see

if it uses 416 and evo5 parts then it can be hopped up straight away... more $$$ to spend!!

i like the look of it so far!

uggg... Looks like another Tamiya Kit I'll have to buy. It looks great! Looks like an IFS chassis with a EVO-5 drive train. Glad they went with the sectioned drive-shaft(evo5 style) and we still have a protection on the gears. Looks like my new outdoor racer! Looks like this chassis will address all the issues in the Tb-02 chassis (i.e. stripped bevels, fixed gear sets, etc..)

Cheers!

I try to stay away from Tamiya cars (because my xray works so well), but this car is different enough to give it a try. I think I will wait until the R version comes out.

It looks like the Aluminum TA05-IFS Rocker Arm Set will fit the TB-03(can anyone confirm??). I suspect a number of parts from the ta-05 IFS and evo-5 will fit the TB-03. Hopefully this is the case as it will make my hop-ups cheaper since I already have most of the parts.
