Time will tell if Tamiya decide to produce a TRF version of the 12th scale ?
This RM-01, imo, is more of a TCS/Retro class car.
I have ran 1/12th on 380 and LiFe,it is the perfect speed to enjoy these cars,why even bother trying to use Lipo and brushless? 380 and LiFe has much closer racing than current 1/12th. And at the speed the 380 and LF run body selection isnt as important. It already has the wing mount for the Can Am Lola on the back of the chassis. Hopefully people will understand the concept and not try and make it into class that nobody runs.
Its a shame that the first thing to go is the 380 and LiFe, brushless and LiPo is not part of the concept from Tamiya.
They might make a pro version but a TRF Version would be completely different in concept than this.
I know Tamiya Japan is running 380 and LF,thats is the TCS rules, hopefully TCS American will not screw it up.
