| Quotations from Tamiyaclub... 
 I just had a very careful look at the differences and actually there isn't a lot of parts that you will not identify as rare ones.
 
 Here goes:
 
 The obvious ones:
 
 -Bumper, different markings and black and marked 2009
 
 -FRP Chassis, black
 
 -Front end, new casting and you can tell the metal is different, same goes for the gearbox and rear suspension arms
 
 -Radiobox, the underside has a smaller and open hole at the back for the well nut (they are now smaller) The cover seems identical to the original but is so clear I think you can tell compared to the slightly yellow original plastic
 
 -The motor cover is different to let the motor plugs go through, Gear cover seems identical
 
 -Receiver box (front part) seems identical
 
 -Servo saver seems identical although the sprue is marked 2009
 
 -Wheels look as the original although the sprue is marked 2009
 
 -ballraces or ball plates are different, bigger hole in the centre
 
 -Camlocks and pipejoints look identical although the metal looks different as I mentioned earlier
 
 -Front Tyres different
 
 -Rear tyres identical
 
 -Universal joints chromed not brass
 
 -Rear cage identical
 
 -Torsion bars identical
 
 -Plastic gears as original
 
 -Counter gear is different, black steel shaft
 
 -Front Body post is different, the hole is not countersunk as the original
 
 -Roll bar is identical
 
 -Body clip is the same
 
 -Body is marked as 2009
 
 -Roof section look as per the original
 
 -Aluminium underplate identical
 
 -Rear axles are different
 
 Not an awful lot in common really
