Check out the TB-02 ad in RCCA Mar/03, boys.

Tamiya makes reference to the TB Evo III Surikarn Unid="size2">limited. [:0]

Are they trying to tell us something??? [?]

Yea, they are trying to tell us something. That something is the average magazine writer has the knowlege of a tomato. (Darryn excepted of course! [])

Have there been any reviews of the TB02 in any of the Mags yet??? I Just pickd up Feburary's edition of Radio Control Car Racer, from WH Smiths (the only one that was there) I havent brought any other RC mags before now and wondered if I had missed it?

Many Thanks

I often wonder just how "limited" these creations are going to be.[V]

They wont be around alot longer though - as the 415 is almost upon us - and they will want us to buy that !

Cheers

There is now RUMOUR that the 415 is not going to make it to the Worlds, even after its Yamayama success. Could be another new pro racer out before then. [][:0]

I could understand why too - the 415 design has been around for a while too !

Cheers

Except... this is NO 'zine article, its Tamiya USA's actual advertisement [:I] - Pgs 96-97 of RCCA March 2004.

No, haven't seen any print reviews of TB-02 yet. Above ad is for the TB-02 in RCCA, usually the ad & review comes out same issue but nothing in the March 2004 yet. Probably missed the xmas deadlines.

I too was looking out for it.

Was undecided about getting a TB02 and wanted to check out some glossies beforehand... but now seems that the decision has been forced since Tamiya announced that Carrera GT!!! []

[DJTheo]

Same here Will, was looking for a nice modern tourer and as I am a both a shaft drive mid engine (TB-xx) and Porsche fan, the decision is made very easy [8D]

Cheers

... but already have EvoIII (several) and we don't have GT2 & GT3 class at TCS here so TB-02 still offers no new advantages. []

Dilemma! [:I]

[SJoerD]

Just buy the body parts set and wheels when it comes out then. But you will have to wait a bit before Tamiya releases it as a bodyset, I reckon that takes a little while? []

[WillyChang]

otoh, no harm having a TB-02 on hand either. [] Factor in the parts cost of 2 new EvoIII balldiffs, full set of suspension components (albeit not 'hard' parts), new drive shaft, full bearings etc... would be better value there than a bodyset.

But hang on a dang'd second... I am a tifosi Ferrari-freak, why am I after a piggy PORSCHE??!? [:0][:0][:0] Better call the shrink..! [|)]
