Tower has updated their price. It is now $359.99. This will be the final price, as I mentioned earlier.
Ordering two.

Will be nice if they offer spare bodies, says it will be available for a limited time, not like the SS and RR.

Yay for confusing name. They should have added "RX", too.

Sweet...
It cost too much but with tower coupons and easy pay, ima have to get one. Always thought that FS rear suspension with oil res bottle was cool.

theres new pics of the chassis on tamiyausa.....

heres one....

I'm sorry, but when I see how much Tamiya is raping people with their prices, considering how many parts are derived from other re-re models not to mention their old molds, all I can do is shake my head when comparing that to what Kyosho did with the Scorpion re-re & pricing. It's shameless.

I wonder if they can make that shock oil tube any longer?????...theres probably a reason for that.....

the long tube serves as a reservoir to the reservoir

Would it be correct to call it a re-reservoir?

ahhh....so it's a reserve reservoir for the reservoir....see,,,, I knew there was a reason for that.

But wait...

I read somewhere that the reason for the high prices are: the gear box is now made from forged aircraft aluminium, the gears are light weight and titanium coated running on hollow carbon shafts, new ball diff with ceramic bearings adjustable from the outside, and there is an ingenious slipper to boot.

Then I realised it was a dream

I'm sure there's an Xzhibit meme somewhere in that.

Looks like original rear bumpers and spring arms will still be hard to source as they are clearly different on the new buggy but happy to see the grey front bumper will be available.
