Tamiya TA07 Pro touring kit

It seems so weird but there is something appealing about it

Certainly different! I love a bit of innovation within the hobby tho, so it's a big  from me

Losi XXX-S

 

 

Surely the belt tensioned like that adds drag?

Can't speak for the Tamiya, but for the Losi the oversized diffs and teeth meant the belt ran looser than convensional 2-belt systems, but still maintaned contact, without slipping. It was EXTREMELY efficient. If you go on youtube and watch an XXX-S running, they sound so smooth and sweet. When I used to race, they were always the fastest and quietest cars on the grid. Infact, they dominated. It was a fantastic drivetrain.

 

If Tamiya can replicate that, they will be on to a winner. Except, that the Losi was a fully-sealed drivetrain, whereas the Tamiya is open to the elements.

This looks awesome, I will be having one

 

love the adjustable motor mounting

 

also noticed Tamiya will be releasing the new NSX on a TT-02 chassis so hopefully the shell will be available to put over this
