Hi guys. Greetings from Malta.
Does anyone know what the interesting looking shaft drive car with red alloy bits is.
It's on the Yokomo page. I just wonder! I can't read the titles.

Things I noticed...
Nice pics of the TB Evo 3 on the temjoybox site - looks like a nicer version of the TC3. Tamiya also showing the Sanyo 3300HV's, in a stick pack (I seem to remember that when 1700 SCE's first appeared, tamiya's EX pack was the first one on the shelves - I'd never seen so many tamiya packs in race cars)
Kyosho'd off-road mini-z's are looking nice - cool track laid out for them as well. PT Cruiser shell is ugly though. GT/Stadium truck hybrid is "interesting". Two Development KX-one's - one with the 3 and 3 batteries, another is really different - with the spur on the opposite side?. Are kyosho going for a speed record? There's an 18-cell pan car there.
Sanwa have a new 2-stick radio on show - don't know if it's a mid-range unit (which would be great news for us Brits), or an Exzes replacement - name is blurry. Updated M8 as well (i think)
Futaba have a range of very sexy looking chargers and accesories on on display - one looks full function, in the Protrak/Turbo 35 mould.
KO have an updated EX5 Master S with, would you believe it, an "ABS Active Blake System" (spelling is correct!). Also on display, a 1/10th "Mini" car, with a vintage Toyota Starlet (I think) shell.

On the pro-s-futaba link above... (which has some better pictures)
This page has some good pics of the new futaba charger in action (very nice).
Also, the sanwa two-stick radio I mentioned above - a better pic, and it's called the Gemini 2 - this could be a new mid-range unit - great news for the UK! Plus the M8.
This page has got Yokomo showing off their shiny graphite chassis parts for the TC, plus some hub carriers and bulkheads - I assume the geometry is different on them.
Also a very clever tyre warmer system, and some new shells, including a truck tractor unit, and something silver that looks American Chryslery to me.

Dear Rccarracer/johnbull,
It is called Barracuda R2 from Alex Racing in Japan.
Did you notice a size of pinion gear? It is a new electric "2" speed
machine due out Dec. in Japan.

Like the Barracuda aswell, this looks nice. Is there any other changes to the original Barracuda?
