Tamiya Competition Truggy TRF 801XT
Tamiya has finally come out with a competition truggy call as TRF801XT. They have been many version from the normal truck to the so-called racing truck like the Tamiya Nitrage before but we guess finally they come out that something they could be proud of. With the word “TRF” on it, you can be assured of quality tested by the Factory drivers only.
If you are a hardcore Tamiya, this is a must get. Of course if you are into offroad racing. It was tested as we like to joke, not at the vegas hotels but at Southern California, USA. It was said, the new TRF801X chassis is full of adjustable options with no compromise on the quality as can be seen with their optimized efficient drive line.

Whether you are a child or a child at heart, this activity is directed to anyone that wants to have fun. When I was younger I enjoyed playing with one of the RC dune buggies I mentioned earlier. This thing was able to conquer dirt, pavement, anything I could drive it through. These days, I still love the RC cars, but my passion has move more towards the sky. RC Airplanes and helicopters are the big boy’s toys in the RC hobbies world.

Thank you Ronald for the words. However, I have to disagree on the last sentence of your first paragraph. When you say big, our rc buggy is also big. Just check the participants and of the world championship. We just have different passions. On our side of the world, people enjoying rc airplanes can be counted just by one hand, unlike our rc offroad or on road. local hobbyshops are stocking more parts and supply on this then on aircraft and heli.
On the other hand, the more choices the better, of course. Some people like to fly, some stay on the ground, thats all
