Looks like it was meant to be powered by a 4-cell stick pack. Are you sure they posted the right picture? By the looks of things this could be a concept car from 20 years ago. Very un-Tamiya-ish.

Here are a couple pics of the double wishbone ft susp

It's real - has been announced with a product number and description also.

It's meant to run with a LiFe cell, which is what Tamiya is pushing in Japan as their official battery for the current time and future.

has some details.

Mine looks a bit cleaner in layout as I am running smaller electronics Really looking forward to the next BMI conversion kit...Jason has a really killer one coming out!

It looks like a really nice car. In all honestly, all 12th scale cars with the CRC pivot side beams or whatever their called look kinda the same...lol

Not sure I would ultimately go wrong with any of them

This is a tough choice to make and if the Yokomo and parts we're easily accessible at my track I'd probably go with it but they all look fine and competitive for sure

The main distinguishing difference is the advanced front end like R12 and this one

Later

Your right...you really can't go wrong with any of them as they are all pretty high quality kits. I am a bit partial though

Which car did you choose?

Pic?

I've been running BMI cars for several years now. Sorry...don't have any current pics of my car.

When I get the new conversion kit coming out I will post some pics. There is some interesting battery placement on that version of the car that will make wiring a lot cleaner

Inline?

Conversion?

From my understanding the new chassis will support several different battery mounting locations including in-line but off-set as well as a battery forward placement which works very well on the BMI WGT car. Here is a prototype pic that was posted in the Copperhead 12 thread. It has the AE front end on it for testing but the new front end will bolt right on:

That new RM is cool, thanks for finding that !

Looks like it will use rubber tires for realism.
Something like the Yokomo GT500 12th scales, but more Retro.
