Tamiya TRF421

While not to the same level as the past for high profile new competition car unveils, Tamiya has used the opening day of the Nuremberg Toy Fair for a much anticipated high profile racing product release by publicly showing its new TRF421.  One of the few remaining RC car manufacturers who exhibit at the German show, which is still a huge event for international toy buyers, Tamiya’s new competition 1:10 electric touring car has been widely rumoured.  With our friends Blog Kentech having their finger on the pulse with all things Tamiya, they have gathered together a collective of images and information on the TRF421 from various sources which they are sharing on their site.  While the Tamiya Racing Factory race team was disbanded at the end of 2016 ending the iconic Japanese brands reign at the top of international touring car competition and ending the Marc Rheinard/Tamiya era, they still have a hugely loyal following and their latest release will be popular not just with Tamiya fans but touring cars fans world wide.  With it rumoured Kenneth Södergård knows more about Tamiya products than Tamiya themselves, you can follow his Blog Kentech Tamiya updates from the show here
