Great to hear tamiya is extending the rerelease lineup. I would love to see the original manual pages that are removed from the manual included at the end and to have tamiya issue “backdate” kits with mechanical speed controler or other old style stuff that was updated in the models (fixed dif/original steering setup on subaru brat, etc)
