Tamiya's RM5/6 is again an all new design now featuring a stiffening top plate and a floating rear pod with a single spring. Lighting fast in the right hands, it also gained a reputation for being fragile & easily damaged in the wrong ones (Wonder why nobody invented foam bumpers back then...?). Oh, and the fiddly new-style wiper speed control too. (Description by njmlondon)
