Those wheels in the DG look different from what we´ve seen in past models. Rear tyres dont look like ordinary "Super Gripper" fare. Could they be 2.2 inch?

The wheels are new, but Tamiya have had 2.2" tyres in the range for some time. The tyres fitted to the star dish wheels are all 2.2" (e.g. Top Force, Baja Champ).

The Staduim Blitzer / Blitzer Beetle, etc.. have 2.2" wheels as well (though they are wierd widths...).

I have just seen the new Box top to the Super Fighter G and it has a old scool style artists illustration of the buggy being driven by a "Real" driver just like all the box tops they did in the good olde days [:)] also I think I've figured out Tamiya new Chassis numbering scheme for their buggies at least... all the new 4WD buggies have DF- prefix chassis while the 2WD cars have the DT- Prefix? I think that the "F" stands for FOUR and the T stands for TWO as in the number of wheels that are driven on each car [:)] don't ask me what the "D" means cos I haven't the foggiest [:S]

I would also say "DIRT"

Yep, and then the T from TA, TB, TL and TT could be "Tarmac", though I'm sure it's really for "Touring"...
