The TA03F have been considered the AE86 of the RCdrift world, Easy to set up for drifting, Japanese make/brand, and a model produced
from long ago resulting parts are not so easy to find. Engine placement is same as AE86 (under the hood)
Tamiya has now introduced the
XV-01 pro , Lay-out is similar to TA03F front motor 4wd, beltdrive to transfer power to rear. Plastic Materials may be even be
better, not as brittle. This seems a modern day TA03F Does anyone think this can replace/substitute a TA03F? Will the XV-01 be
like/considered a newly released TA03F with parts availablility and improved plastic materials & built quality?
Since Toyota GT86 is
considered a new generation AE86 in the 1:1 Automotive world, Can we look at the new XV-01 be viewed as a Toyota GT86 of the RC
world? ;-) 1:1 (both are from same Japanese maker -Toyota -) 1:10 (both are from same Japanese maker -Tamiya)
Can the XV-01 propell to this status as did the TA03F in the RCdrift world ?
What do you think Guys? ;-)
TA03F is really goood, but like a unicorn...where you gonna buy one now??, other than ebay...maybe...SO TL-01 is best...almost same layout balance as TA03, but no belts to worry about.
