Tamiya’s TRF417 – Next Great Tamiya TC

Tamiya TRF417 Touring Car

Rumors and pictures are floating around about a new TRF417 TC from Tamiya. It’s really hard to get any info about the car since the text was all in Japanese, but from the pictures I can guess that it is going to be a LiPo only chassis, new thick motor mount and what looks to be possibly an updated steering system. As with all Tamiya vehicles, I’m sure this one will be rocket fast and plenty expensive! We’ll update you more when the official word is out.
