Im really surprised they have given that a new model number.
Look at the TRF history, with each model number change there have been significant design changes, 414, 415, 416
Look at the 415 series, from first to last model there were more changes than whats being put forward in this model.

Well it has been almost 3 years since the 416 came out. I guess they thought it was about time it had a new model name.

As an example: 416X can still mount the old front bulkheads from 416.
Same pattern goes for 414 and 415.

But I think the big marketing failure of tamiya was that they have sold trf416 lipo chassis. So now everybody forgets that this is the first real lipo chassis of tamiya.
To my opinion trf417 is a significant other car than the trf416,we,x , despite it's not that obvious. Even so I'm a little bit disappointed that they didn't manage to get the motor closer to centerline (only 2mm - i think about 5mm would have been much better and possible)
