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.

Tech Adept
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??

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.

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 !
