Looks like three piece shaft will be used in the new design. It is also listed lower than the 415.

Looks like a 3 piece shaft, aluminum gearbox, Tub Chassis?
Can't wait to see it in person.

Is it me, or does the gear box looks like to be open and un-sealed, just like the Baracuda.
I maybe wrong though...

Not by just making the whole thing out of alloy, but to reduce it
down to just 3 interlocking "walls" with 1 bearing holder each.
(yes you'll have to remove half the thing to access the diff ala 414)
The top & front could be left visible and just covered with lexan;
there'll be 2 holes on the front edges of the side plates for the
shocktower, small clamps ala 415 for the sway bars.

arh well...another year another car......a few bulkheads more or less/looks like a baracuda/looks like the tbe3/different colour/more this/more that/longer this /shorter that...
...if indeed we're moving forward with regard to innovation, at what pace and at what price?
Next will be a TA05 and TRF415MII etc. I thought this was a hobby, you know, something you keep yourself busy and enjoy with the few extra bucks you have left at the end of the month. Does spending another $350 really going to make you a champ, do you really need a new car that has changed only slightly.
Tamiya and Intel......accross the ocean, but the same sad business ethics....milk the consumer !!!
Just my bit.........still waiting for the TA05

I hope they use the exact same 3 peice shaft from tech for the evo 3. Then at least many of us have one spare part (or 3) less to buy!
