The case itself is made from a hard wearing black material and looks very stylish, featuring only a small Tamiya logo in the lower corner of the bag itself.

Tamiya TRF415 MSXX at Nürnberg Toy fair Categories - Cars, Electric On Road, Products, Tamiya - comments closed
Tamiyas rather neat looking follow up to the ultra successful TRF415 the MSXX, that we talked about some time back, was on display in Nürnberg this week and RC10.fi got their hands on it and took some pics. I always liked the blue look of this car and the performance is undisputed considering its pedigree but the absolute coolest thing about this car the air scoop that is mounted in front of the motor and takes air from under the chassis and sends it to your precious power plant. In these pictures the speedo and receiver are mounted to the top side of the scoop and therefore raise up at an angle above the chassis plate but you’ll understand what i mean when you see the photos.
Hit more to see some close ups of the car and its air scoop… (more…)

oOple builds the Tamiya TRF 501X Categories - Cars, Electric Off Road, Products, Tamiya - comments closed
Red RC isnt the build and review type of site, we like to just carry product and racing news and other interesting bits but we always make an exception for when oOple does a build and review article, they are the absolute best you can get. This time round Jimmy has built the all new Tamiya TRF 501X and as usual he has gone into all the fine details and pictured everything along the way and then compared it to other similar cars on the market, not only all that but he has thrown in an interview with team driver Hubert Hönigl too.
Just check it out here and while your there check out the TrakPower 4900mah LiPo review too.

The Tamiya MSXX Categories - Cars, Electric On Road, Products, Tamiya - comments closed
The Tamiya MSXX was shown for the first time at the Tamiya World Cup event held last month and it has been talked about a lot since. What we know is that it’s basically the same as the Rheinard edition but it it has been downgraded to have dual one-way units, steel screws and steel axles to make it more affordable. If you didnt know already, now you do.
