There were slight variations in the names, the tq sport, tq black, just tq and they just kept making minor improvements.
ahh I knew about those just didn't know the parts were different, just thought they had diff options on em.
were the parts compatible with each other?
That's a good question. I don't know if they are. The shock towers are shaped differently but im not sure if all the holes align the same. The arms don't look much different but I have never inquired if they will fit on the older models. The bodies don't fit. When they changed it to the 2012 model they used a different shape and placement for the air filter and the new bodies don't fit the original round air filter with s curve intake tube. The receiver box is moved as well so the wire and tube hole is in a different location. Shocks are interchangeable, diffs are the same, brakes changed too, not sure if they fit the same either. I have 2 pre 2012 models so I buy parts whenever I find them cheap on ebay incase I can't get any in the future.
