Has any one got pictures and/or specs of this, Alan over to you M8, I can not find in the usual places but our M8 Rainbow ten lists it but no pic or description.
The only clue I can find is it is due to be released at the Nurenburgh Fair

Another new model? You have to be kidding.

Tamiya make some good cars but they seem to prey on the loyalty of there fans in order to make as much dough as possible, not trying to say the HPI is better but the original model is doing fine without constant masters and pro editions etc.

I'll post a preview later in the week but it aint much different than an evo 4 with the hop-ups on it.

Some new parts, but I believe they will be released as hop-ups too.

seems to be a common theme running here thats 3 of us got both of these cars now!!!!!!! :wink:

take your time building the evo 4 ive built mine 3 times now..having all sorts of problems cant the power down smoothly and car wants to break away in a different direction at 50 % speed. After third rebuild things seem to be better but the truth will come out when i next venture out onto wood at the club rather than wood in my living room :shock: .

as far as the trf415 is concerned its going really well and is a car where you will always want more power as its handling characteristics are fantastic.Still getting to grips with it but definetly getting there. :D

i still believe that the evo 4 must be as good but i am struggling with it but i have to keep telling myself to persist with it as it cost plenty........ :shock:

in summary both great cars but evo 4 is not allowing me to enjoy my wood racing at the moment as in its current state is a pure bitch to drive as a few have probably witnessed if you have ever seen it coming down the straight. loving the 415 and looking forward to getting better results this year on carpet with it than i did last year with my ta04r. :D

I was having exactly the same problems stephen, I was almost going to retire it and use the EvoIII on wood because I missed the sideways action that I loved so much about the last one. But then the last time I raced it something clicked - either in my head or the car - and it was amazing!

Well ...

I've just ordered an MS, that means that once I steal the "new" MS bits from the kit, there's gonna be a new build Evo IV available - anyone interested - it would be unbuilt / fully built, its your choice!
