All Japan Hobby Show – Tamiya

Tamiya have several bodyshell variants of their popular TT-01 Type-E and TT-02 chassis available on show at the All Japan Hobby Show such as the Petronas Tom’s RC-F, the Motul Autech GT-R or the Mazda MX-5 for the M-05 but what stands out is the re-release of the iconic Monster Beetle. The 1990’s off-road vehicle sports the same features as “back in the days” although slight modifications to the drivetrain make the kit usable with today’s more powerful motors and batteries. The kit is already available. Racing-wise there is nothing new to show in Tokyo as it seems despite the forthcoming IFMAR 1/10th Electric Buggy Worlds on home soil astro turf.
