It looks like an injection molded tub chassis. It takes a hefty investment to make a chassis mold for just testing purposes. Its not a matter of "if" but a matter of "when" it will be released.

I gotta agree here. They only just released the TRF415MS which is the worlds winning car, they will do some development on that first, then replace when the competition catches up.
Also, if that is TRF 416 then they must have blown all their budget on designing and building the car if they had to use a stick pack, plastic shocks and a tamiya connector to test it with!

Tech Regular
It looks like it may work great for carpet.

you think it's possible that it can be converted to the 415?

If you compare Tamiya to other manufacturers who do not come up with new models as often and give you parts that do not fit as well, sure Tamiya is expensive. But I'd say it's justified. Cheap tools cost a fraction of quality tools but you end up with parts that are inconsistent with higher tolerance values.
Remember, no one forces you to buy the latest model. The TRF414 is just as competitive as the 415 in capable hands. WE CHOOSE to buy the latest and greatest and Tamiya is just answering to a demand. Personally I am glad they do.
