PraetoR Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 HNNNNNGG!! That Porsche body shell! Tamiya may rest of their laurels a bit much, but the sure produce some beautiful looking products! The TA-07 tease has me intrigued. Since the drivetrain is a near-as-dammit copy of the Losi XXX-S drivetrain... I wonder if they've ran into the same issues that Losi did, during the car's evolution? It took three versions of the drive belt to perfect the XXX-S. Of course, it may have nothing whatsoever to do with the drivetrain and it may just be a higher specced variant. If that's the case, I'd be quite an irritated TA-07 Pro owner! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 They (tamiya) have been unusually cagey about this TA07MS...guess we'll have to wait until after the unveiling for new info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hope the Porsche will be on a standard TA-02SW chassis and not an FRP chassis like the 40th Jagermeister/black edition, it only pushes the price up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Looks like the Porsche is a limited run of 333 kits exclusive to Tamico, to celebrate 10 years in business. This is basically a 934 black edition/Jagermeiser 40th edition with different decals. Tamiya Porsche 934 RSR 10th Anniv. TAMICO Vaillant Edt.
