Since you "are" Tamiya USA, any idea when it lands to Europe as well?!
<--- used to own and cherish an FF01, nowadays donated to my beloved nephew who continues the tradition!

The FF-03 will land on US shores by the end of the first week of June. Hobby shops will get them shortly thereafter. They are already on a boat from Japan. 
The gearing options are pretty varied. You can adjust pinion and spur to the geearing you need. Let me assure you, big pions fit within the gear cover.
Rtype C. Build your own car
The weight balance of the car is what it should be for a FF car.
Off the bat, I would recommend people get the Aluminum diff joint and universals for the car. If you want, the aluminum suspension mounts would be good too. From there the sway bar set coming should be fun to try.

My dad's going to be in Japan in mid-June, any chance it will be released in Japan by then?

Just ran my FF01 Special edition with a 3400 lipo pack and a black motor... I think I'll be ok for a while ... it runs great! So until I see how it compares on the track against the FF03, I think I'll be holding off on a new purchase... I'm waiting for the Thunder Tiger SB5 and the Venom VMX450... so my "future money" is tied up anyway...

I know FF03 will be faster and more refined than the front drive m03s & m05s but will it really be that much of a different driving experience or just the same thing but a little larger??
I guess those who have FF01s-02s & mini coopers will know about this.
