I like the idea, but like the MB01, the BT01 uses TT02-ish suspension arms all around. My MB01 fell apart while just casually driving around.

Pogo stick shocks, bushings, and Tamiya's stupid kingpin design. Hard pass.

Bonus points for TT-02-ish suspension arms up front AND back.

I don't know why Tamiya can't design cars that use a standard type A-arm.

I don't know ehy Tamiya can't design cars that use a standard type A-arm.

Their buggies and more expensive touring car chassis use "proper" a-arms and c-hub suspension, just not the entry level on road stuff.

Its definitely not on my radar though, unless if a nice used example shows up (with all of the hops ups that should be there from the get go).

Looks more expensive than the TT-02.
Oh, it is.
