Avante2001R 305 Posted August 19, 2015 Looking at a recent magazine I notice there were no Tamiyas in the 1/10 off road BRCA events. Is this a UK thing or global? Lee Martin has moved to Yokomo also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregM 1109 Posted August 19, 2015 From what I know, TRF should be still doing strong onroad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeekelemental 528 Posted August 20, 2015 Tamiya announced, months ago, that give up with off-road to concentrate its forces in onroad racing if I'm not wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avante2001R 305 Posted August 24, 2015 So that's the end of the TRF 1/10 off road buggies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted August 31, 2015 Why do you say that? Didn't Tamiya just release a new TRF buggy? Dorvack. Perhaps, but if there's any truth at all to the report that they'e given up on off-road to focus their efforts on on-road, then it's not unreasonable to assume they're going to start producing less race-spec off-road race buggies.

speedy_w_beans 4270 Posted August 31, 2015 Story about Lee Martin from December 2013: http://www.neobuggy.net/2013/12/04/lee-martins-tamiya-time-over/ Since then we've seen a new TRF201, a new TRF503, and a DB01RRR come out. There are plenty of race-grade buggies available from Tamiya. It seems like they reduced their funding for team drivers just like Team Durango did. That doesn't mean they've stopped making new kits. I'm sure the 201, 502, 503, and DB01 platforms will continue to receive updates as other companies' race buggies evolve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
