Status: offline 		Just thought everyone would like to take a look at the new Tamiya TB03. Looks like it's got the front setup of the TA05 IFS. Release date is June 2008 though that is probably in Japan. BTW Tamiya USA's site already lists the kit and some parts for it.

http://www.tamiyausa.com/search.php?q=tb03&image.x=0&image.y=0

It lists the kit "RC ARTA Garaiya - TB03", a front one way, aluminum diff joint set, aluminum motor mount, aluminum propeller shaft, and titanium screw set.

Looks good!! Without the shock tower up front, now you can run some low hood shell!!

I love it for being the most radical looking GT body that you can get for your car!
A pity that the rear lights look like stolen from a Toyota yaris.

Status: offline 		More weight? If anything I would think it would remove weight. In exchange for the extra weight of the cantilevers you're removing the weight of the shock tower which is much larger. If there is a weight gain (due to the bearings in the cants) it's so little that you wouldn't be able to notice.

Besides that you're also moving the weight of the shocks, oil, springs, etc lower which should improve handling.

You do realize that the Revo wasn't the first to ever have inboard shocks right? F1 cars (full size and R/C) have been running this setup for a long time.

Many real life race cars run in-board shocks for packaging reasons...
