Thanks for comments guys.

Inner diameter for the front tyre is about 40mm, and 41mm for the rear. Width of front tyre is about 29mm, rear about 36mm. According to my Tamiya dealer here in Singapore, these are totally new tyres and wheels, not compatible with Grp C or F103 ...

That looks sweet Redfrits. I purchased the kit from Paul too ... haven't gotten around to doing it yet ... waiting for those upgrade parts too. How's the performance?

Relwyn, the body is 3 piece molded, box art looks like a McLaren but is a generic body. I'm not sure if it is the same as a F2004.

My first buggy champ kit
PsychoAtom

Thanks guys ... this is a dream come true for me.
@just_a_kid: the wheel adapters and rear drive shaft are separate vs. the 1-piece design in the RR. The front suspension lower arms have grub screw insertion point in different position.

@canonball: Not sure about #1, but these were officially on the shelfs today where I am because the replacement threaded shafts needed to be inserted into the boxes.

PsychoAtom

Thanks guys for the nice comments. @JayZ2000 ... just so you know, the front tires do not have the Sand Blaster Jr lettering ... just 'Tamiya'. I did enquire about spares, especially the body set - but those are on order and will take another month or so where I am.
@superchampion and all those who have them on order ... hope they have included the replacement parts in the kit before they ship.

@Rosey ... yes the 1 piece decal for the large white area is a disappointment and going to be a pain to apply. But I'm going to buy some repros from PandaGFX for my other kit. I've waited a long long time for this and I'm glad it's just the decals and front tires that's visually very different ... thanks Mr. Tamiya!

@Wandy - Thanks. I personally don't like that what used to be individual decals pasted onto the painted white areas for the box art are now integrated into one big decal and you would have to cut them out if you wanted them applied differently ... other than that they are fine .. :) ... that's just my preference for decals.
