| Tamiya is going brushless...
...according to a Google translate: http://translate.google.com/translat...-8&sl=ja&tl=en What I like to see though is the Subaru Impreza (Monte Carlo 2007) which is to appear on a DF-03R chassis (!) and all those hop ups for CR-01 crawler chassis. If any one has the skill of reading japanese please give us the the full run down of whats to appear at the Hobbyshow mid october. The full index: http://www.tamiya.com/japan/hobbyshow/index.htm |

Looks like a HobbyWing/feigao setup to me. Sensorless EZrun.

Yeh that's not actually a Tamiya brushless system. It's just a generic set-up with their name put on it. In the UK the have Carson printed on them. They've been around for a while.

Go check it out: http://www.tamiya.com/english/hobbyshow/THS08/index.htm @constantmotion: that is not it. I believe that the Carson brushless system is only available in europe and has been around for some time now. | |

All the TRF speedos look like the lrp/nosram speedos. It looks like brushless is going the same way as lipo where everybody has an Oem and they just slap their sticker on and sell it as the next best thing

| The good side to companies doing this is that it brings the price down to where us mere mortals can afford and it also sparks more creative uses and advancement for the hobby.

| The chassis is the same as a DF03 buggy. The servo is at the back because there isn't any room at the front. This should be a good little rally car. I like the idea of have a rally car that I can jump with out it breaking. |
