Haven't seen any of these on the clubs showroom.

I've got me a Master edition, and it is a very good car.

Far quicker handling than my Associated TC3 Factory team.

Almost everyone at my club now race corally. The New RDX is popular too..

It is also nice and quiet compared to the noisy shaft driven TC3 [;)]

Still i wonder why Tamiya wont make a decent racing buggy? 2WD or 4WD.

In the past years ,they had real good racing buggies. Avante etc...

I think the money to develop a real buggy is there.

the money may be there... but will it actually sell? The Tamiya name has not been easily associated with performance off roading for the longest time.. besides, I think tamiya is still enjoying the revenue from touring cars these days...

You mention the Avante, i have one and to be honest they aren't that hot handling wise. It's a superb model for the technical detail and it is nearly 20 years old i s'pose.

The topforce on the other hand is a really nice handler, if Tamiya had made it from a stronger plastic more like the Kyosho/Losi stuff, used metal front hubs etc and not relied on the criminal use of self tapping screws into wafer thin components everywhere i think Tamiya could have really changed there perception to alot of people.
