jeekelemental 528 Posted January 9, 2015 Welcome Naoto: http://www.redrc.net/2015/01/naoto-matsukura-joing-tamiya-racing-factory/ RedRc reports his arrival to TRF team... does it means that we will see soon new Off Road cars by big T? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaylon 235 Posted January 9, 2015 Mr T did say last year they were focusing TRF on touring cars and not off-road for the near future, hence Lee Martin seeking other sponsors. That does not mean we won't see a re-focus at any time. Tamiya are not the only company recently to cut pro drivers etc.. Durango no longer has any off-road pro drivers and are re-focusing development and effort into club racing.. something I find very cool. Granted they are still going to be producing quality racing products and that's something I'd like to see Mr T do also. It's fair enough not to have an off-road team, but still make a high end 'club' products please K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highflyer 73 Posted January 16, 2015 He's only driving touring cars, so it's doubtful. Dorvack. Interesting, this guy can drive the wheels off anything (especially 1/12 obviously) 3 years ago I met and talked to him at the iiC indoor carpet event held annually here in Las Vegas, He is a cool kid and a beast on the track. In the A main 1/12 he made up 6 spots and almost took the win. I think he will be great for TRF. Will he race more than just T/C's is up to Tamiya. It seems many of the top racers are now using different companies depending on the scale/chassis types. I would love to see him go TRF offroad, but it's doubtful since he was so close to Yokomo. So I agree Dorvack.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
