Tamiya should have molded the brake handles in this new release, instead they chose to omitted it.

I agree Richard, they could have probably made an effort in adding a braked handle; however, being only about 2mm in length this would have ended up as a molded bump on the handle bar anyway. Better off using something like 0.015 solder and flatten the end getting the wire and cable all in one.

I am happy with what I see and plan to buy 1 or 2.
