Tamiya 801Xe prototype hits the track

Tamiya 801Xe prototype makes race debut

Tamiya have made their race debut with the new prototype electric powered 801X, called the 801Xe. Being driven at the Canadian Indoor Shootout in its maiden race by team drivers Steve Bortolotti and Tom Wright, it performed well amongst fierce competition, leading the way for most of qualifying before electrical problems hampered their progress. In the mains it was again a solid performance, with only some bad luck and race incidents keeping the car out of winners circle. According to those driving the prototype buggy, the design of the car and layout give incredible on-power traction as you exit the corners and is very stable as you accelerate. More information as we get it.
