Tamiya TRF201XMW & Rock Socker announced

Tamiyablog have first images of two new Tamiya kits available in the form of the TRF201XMW and the Rock Socker. Starting with the TRF201XMW, the 2WD buggy was introduced last year as a conversion kit for the TRF201 rear motor buggy and it is understood that the XMW will be a full kit rather than just a chassis and gearbox conversion. The XMW will feature a new long wheelbase 3mm aluminium chassis extending the wheelbase to 284mm, the gearbox will still be an all-aluminium affair that allows to use a ball or gear differential and the shock absorber upper caps incorporate a bleeding screw. The kit is set for a late May release.

Also is the Rock Socker crawler kit based on the CR-01 chassis. By the looks of things the kit builds on the standard CR-01 chassis but features new beadlock rims, barrel springs and a pick-up style bodyshell with light inserts. We bring you more information to the upper two and several other new kits, such as the M-05 Ver.II Pro, TB-04 Pro II, and TB Evo.6 as soon as we get them.
