Tamiya Nissan GT-R LM Nismo & TT-02S Type-S

Coming soon from Tamiya are the Nissan GT-R LM Nismo and the TT-02D Type-S kits. Starting with the Nissan, the full-scale car is the company’s LMP1 contender for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race and a pretty special machine as the GT-R LM Nismo is a front motor/front driven vehicle. Tamiya’s 1/10th scale kit unfortunately does not mimic this setup but uses a pretty standard F103GT rear wheel drive pan car chassis with rubber tyres. The included Nissan bodyshell is a multi-piece affair with separate rear fin and rear wing as well as a comprehensive decal sheet.

Team Durango 2WD mid motor buggy prototype

Team Durango have released a first sneaky teaser image of what could be the successor of the popular DEX210 2WD off-road buggy. The front end, with the characteristic chassis connection “button” looks to be taken over from the standard 210 car but the rear end, with the lack of a motor cooling plate, hints towards a new design that could house both a longitudinal motor or a “low rider” gearbox as seen on Yokomo’s YZ-2 buggy and one or the other aftermarket gearbox for the Team Associated B5M. We bring you more updates on this car as we get them.
