Ugghh! the F201 was an absolute dog of a chassis.
Not sure where you're coming from. I used to race F201's, they performed as well as any TC that was out at the time. Tamiya should have taken note of the 3racing chassis that was available back then and did a non-plastic version.
In addition to a boat load of other hop ups, I have the 3R carbon chassis for mine. The problem I had is that you can't gear it low enough to keep the motor from overheating.
We just ran Sport Tuned motors in ours, so overheating was never a problem. I wish I could remember the gear ratio we ran, it was different than stock. It ran pretty quick that that Sport Tuned, and it handled so well.
That car is flippin awesome!!! Too many cool things coming out. I'm going to have to unload 2 of my 3 F201s and maybe my MIB Toyota Prerunner to offset my recent expenses.

I'd never forget the FXT as it just might be my favorite stadium truck of all time. :) I have a NIB one sitting right here next to me that I really need to build.
Good news for some of us. I'm just hope it's like the original and not just the body on some new chassis. I wish they would have picked the Wild One version instead though.

The rere chassis differs than the original. There is now notch (hole) to one side on the chassis and A-12 part, that allows for the battery connector to be exposed. D parts and Roll cage are black in color (use to be tan), front damper mounts,...
Anyone know the story behind the black boxed Tamiya Mercedes C-11? Did they re-release a re-release? I also noticed that Tower has them in limited qtys again. I would post a pic, but I can't get to one from work at the moment...... This is what I...

Maybe it should just be thought of as sporadic breaks in production with this one.
I picked up a set of the black wheels to use on a future project, but that's about all I could see myself using from this kit...
Maybe if my g/f ever wants me to build her a car I'll pick one of these up. :lol:
