My dad proved to me that a slightly "older" Tamiya car (ie: 414 MII) can still outhandle 9/10 of the cars out there even if its not Tamiyas newest car

Just hang with the latest tech you can afford until you have the cash and/or need newer tech.

You do realize that some of these people bought it just to complete their collection, right?

I'm talking about the racers....not the collectors

Thats the truth..

The way I see it is that there will be a choice.

Choice of:
- Latest Tamiya Belt Drive car, TRF415
- Latest Tamiya Shaft drive car, TRF EvoIV

Perhaps they will perform reletively equally (will be known upon E4 release i guess), but some people prefer belt, others shaft.

Yeah?? :nod:

Rod had like 20 seconds of spin around Reedy Race time last year... I only have 16 seconds... :( My car is relativaly(sp?) stock though, Rod had ceramic berrings(although I do not know if this helps much, hahaha, just an excuse to why his is SOOOOO much better ;) ).

See you at Tamiya tomorow Rod :sweat: .

EVO4 with Tub chasis? looks like TB02 with alumn blukheads

weekendracer_uk 04-28-2004 05:51 AM

The pics are clearly a carbon chassis with the stick pack holder of the left side ( front of pic ) which does make it look like a tub chassis on those poor quality pics. Remember in japan they do run stick packs as per their racing rules.

KREATOR1 04-28-2004 06:33 AM

mind giving us the url of the new TBevo4?

Patriiick 04-28-2004 07:18 AM

stick ?
 
weekend racer, do you want the 101 previous issues of RC World, leading japanese R/C magasine, which nicely features thousands of cars in japanses champs NOT featuring stick packs :) ?

true, they do run some stick packs, at stricly sanctioned races, but by no means it is the majority.

kawwaiiii !
