like i said before, if u score the IFSR (dont make the regular ta05R anymore) at 230bux or so, as opposed to 180 for the regular ta05IFS, yeh u dont get a body (pick ur fav instead), but consider that TRF shocks are over 50bux for a set. there's ur cost right there, not to mention better plastics, universals front and rear, hipo diff cups, low friction belts, better turnbuckles. it adds up and pays for itself then building up from the stocker. i think thats what tamiya is thinkin bout, tryin to sell tb03s for a bit gettin ready for TCS09, thus selling a bunch of extra hopup bits, then releasing a TB03R to keep sales going and clear out stock.

good luck, btw if u can get to 310, they are blowin out their 415MSXX (MRE) touring cars shipped!
