Tamiya TRF201
Tamiya TRF201 is a new entry into the 2wheel drive 1/10 scale off road class. The Tamiya TRF 201 will be an excellent addition to any Tamiya modelers build. Juiced-RC.com has already found the time, and spot on our workbench, for both a build & review for this new entry the Tamiya TRF201!
When we think of Tamiya, we tend to remember some of there other famous rides such as the “Lunchbox” or my first, the “Grasshopper”. We remember sitting in the parking lot of a Riders Hobby Shop watching tricked out Clod Busters drag massive amounts of weight to “Full Pull”.
Whatever the memory Tamiya is knocking on the door of some race proven 2wheel drive off road buggies with the TRF201. Fresh of the design table and ready to battle for the podiums around the world. We have to say this new entry from Tamyia looks very promising. We found a few pictures from Radio Controlled Car Action, Tamiya USA.com and the 49th Shizuoka Hobby Show 2010!
