It means like almost all TRF cars Tamiya Japan are only planning on doing 1 run of the 419. Once sold, they are all gone. If you miss out you'll have to wait until they put out an update or the new car.

- Hex ball studs with backing lock nuts for the damper mounts - why not just run TRF ball nuts? They are expensive, maybe saving a few bucks 
- countersunk screws on the steering. Al to rear, Ti to front. Previous builds of his often used stock steel screws on the bridge (but no where else on the car)
- alloy chassis missing ARS screw holes like the stock carbon one.
- no lipo stoppers
- has been forced to run his pinion nose in now as well - maybe the muchmore has a short rotor like my X20!
- new style Chubs!
- neatest body post tops ever. Like they have been spun in a lathe

I love how some people pop into Tamiya threads and make such posts.
They forget that during the TRF414, TRF415, TRF416 days, Yok and everyone else was copying TRF designs. Now Tamiya needs catch up.
It's called competition. When you're at the top, it's hard to stay there year after year. Often times it takes someone to come from behind and overtake you for you to realise the next step.

MR looked mighty fast, TRF may finally have something for Yokomo this ETS season. Can't wait to see what Naoto does with the 419.

Though he doesn't race one currently he use to run tamiya. His website was one of the few that had up to date setup sheets from Marc and Jillies.

There was a article in a UK RC magazine where they were talking to Chris Grainger of Schumacher, about the Mi5. They asked him is it true if you measured out the geometry on the Mi5 was it the same as the Yokomo Bd-7. His answer if you measure up almost all TC cars the geometry went back to the AE TC3. So if the geometry of the TRF 419 is like the Yok so be it. Is the yok geometry like the TC3's....
Regardless, Grats to MR33 & TRF, long time coming for that win
Has to feel good

Some cars do do things a little diff (xray rear arms for example), and usually bulkhead positions are different too... But a lot of things like hinge pin widths, atm lengths etc are surprisingly similar... Most of that I figured out when making models up for RC crew chief!
