This will not be the next TRF418, it's a selfmade car from a guy from finland.
Atleast that's what i've heard about the car in the picture, also the car showed up about 2 years ago on a ETS race.
Very curious though about the new TRF418, that maybe my next TRF chassis for next years season.

Probably expect Tamiya's version of the Raceberry TRF417.

Update : Build and review here

Seen a pic of prototype car racing at the Japanese National, didnt think it would be a 418 looks like a low profile 417v5. Hopefully he will let me post it.
I hope the final version is quite different.
I have some shots of the cars at the race with the tops on, maybe if you squint you can see something

Your photo is a dodgy photoshop of the below picture which was taken a while back. I don't think this is it but i suppose you never know....

Yep, that looks like I was given a dud pic, I will call it out on the blog post that its a fake (I posted it in good faith), there are some differences on that pic to a std 417 though, like the arms and C hubs

What's the problem with the gear diff? Using the steel gears an kyosho O-rings makes it strong and leak free.

I've been doing the above for a while and for diffs in my buggy (5.5t) and TC although I only run 13.5 / 17.5 normally in TC, Is it a mod thing?
