58452 Tamiya Sand Scorcher (2010)

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the model, Tamiya is proud to re-release the Sand Scorcher to remind you of the worldwide “Buggy Boom” of the 1980s.
While maintaining the basic mechanical layout of the original, this re-release model has been thoroughly updated with many new metal parts in order to meet modern R/C model standards.
The transparent mechanism box protects the R/C unit against dust and sand, and its lid can be easily detached via cam locks. The form of the plastic body features various design modifications but retains the nostalgic presence of the original.
Fitted with grooved front tires and ribbed rear tires, this buggy offers exciting R/C action both on-road and off-road.

Eine interessante Neuigkeit gibt es auf der 48. Shizuoka Hobby Show 2009 zu sehen.

Tamiya bringt eine wunderschöne neue Karosserie raus:  Einen Ford Bronco ‘73

Quelle: www.scale4x4rc.org

Hier zu sehen ist die Karosserie auf einem CR-01 Chassis. Dies passt nicht wirklich optimal wie ich finde, daher besteht die berechtigte Hoffnung, daß wir den Ford Bronco noch auf anderen Chassis zu sehen bekommen. Vielleicht als High-Lift ?
