Motogo Seiki TRF201XMW MSLowRider V2

Following first images of Motogo Seiki’s MSLowRider conversion for Tamiya’s TRF201XMW buggy, we now have new images available of the updated V2 variant that is being tested at the moment. The current car features a fully CNC-machined aluminium chassis to replace the standard alloy part with the Motogo Seiki chassis offering milled sections underneath the steering servo, electronics, LiPo battery pack and the motor in order to lower the centre of gravity and to allow the use of additional weights. The pockets also lower the motor position with the V2 motor plate placing the motor closer to the chassis from what is understood. Also part of the V2 chassis are incorporated side rails to do away with the kit’s composite parts. The buggy is currently in use by young Japanese driver Kouki Kato and we bring you more information on the conversion as soon as they surface.
