More photos and details of upcoming Tamiya 47381 Super Astute (2018)

The Super Astute (2018) is a reissue of a classic (58097, 1991).
The 2WD Buggy undergoes only minimal technical changes in the new edition to do justice to the performance of contemporary electronics. The famous TTC (Tamiya Traction Control) has been retained in a revised form, the appearance is as close as possible to the original.

    Do we know what type of diff will be supplied with the car? Just wondering if they will keep the gear diff or use an upgraded ball diff?
