Actually, it looks like it might be a TB chassis. The center shaft could place it in either the TB or TT category. Especially with the TB-02R coming out. Also, Tamiya wouldn't go back to shaft drive for the TA series after putting all their effort into the TA04's belt drive. Although, a TA05 would be a welcome addition..[]

If you look very closely, it's a twin belt drive car, with the motor under the guy's hand.

i think it's the normal, cheap, version of the TRF415 like the TB02 is for the Evo3/4

on the upper pic you could see that the motor is mounted like the TRF415 and the platic oilfilled shocks indicates that it's a "normal" version.

i hope it will be a pricy as the TB02 is. (bearings, oilfilled shocks, ball diffs, servo saver, tierods) - i will buy this car as soon it's available [] []

By god, you're right! Jeez do I need glasses! Either way, belt or shaft, I hope Tamiya would keep the TA line going in one form or another...

Yes I have it on good authority it is a plastic version of the 415.

More good news is that the re-release of the Grasshopper and Lunch Box will be out at around the same time [8D]
