I had to do some hunting myself as I too thought they was old parts.
Anyway the details are on Tamiya America here:

The other key to the original post is in the Part numbers. Old body sets would be a 50... part number, and a very new body set is a 51... part number. But these new body sets are a 84... part numbers which is the limited release set of part numbers, and is a newer part number string.

swingshaft binding!
Ok,
This is an old topic and I've read all about how you have to flip the diff and make sure the diff adjustment is on the correct side. I've done all that but I have a fit issue with the 46mm universals. I'm running the aluminum diff halves and the plastic ears for the dogbones, with TB03 axle shafts. The left side (where the adjustment screw access is) is fine and has several mm of movement in/out. The right side, however, is hitting the end of the diff screw and binding the suspension. There's ZERO movement on that side. The diff screw just seems to be way too long!
Anyone ever figure out the magic for getting the aluminum diff halves, plastic dogbone protectors, and 46mm universals to fit? Do I need to cut the diff screw down, or did I somehow manage to screw something up?
