Tamiya TA05MS and TA05-IFS

Tamiya TA05MS

Tamiya have released some cad images of their latest electric touring cars, the TA05MS and the TA05-IFS. The TA05MS (above) is a true racing car and is a mix between the TRF415 and the TA05 and so features the best parts of both, making it essentially a competition based TA05 with carbon chassis, racing shocks and other optionals as standard. The other car image released by Tamiya is the TA05-IFS, the IFS standing for internal front suspension, which allows the car to be able to accept bodyshells with very low fronts due to the lack of front shock tower.No date is given for release of either.

Prototype Russian EP Touring car

^ Click for Large Image

A couple of days ago a discussion started on the RC Tech forums about a prototype Russian made Electric Touring car which the designers claim to be very unique and innovative. And judging by the first large picture of it, this as yet unnamed touring car definitely appears to be different with a 4WD shaft drive and non conventionally motor position, which sees it mounted perpendicular to the central shaft and not parallel. Other unique features is the saddle pack mounted batteries and track rod suspension arms. The car has already won races in its homeland but little else is known about it.

You can read the discussions here.
