RC Suzuki's

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

RC Suzuki's

Post by Tramp » Mon Oct 15, 2012 9:41 pm

One of my hobbies other than offroading in big toys, is offroading with little toys. I have around 6 RC cars which I like to back yard bash with. I like to combine my hobbies so whilst browsing eBay I found this!

The best part about it is that you can buy the bodies seperatly so if you already have a 1/10 car you can drop the body on it and have your own little zook!

That looks better than the speedway pal bodies we have. How come no one has found it before?

It looks like a tamiya new release, the chassis looks like the old wild Willy chassis which originally had a anus body on it

A great car for bashing but not overly capable as its 2wd, if anything it was for wheelying!

Tamiya have been making small SJ's & jimnys for a while, but these ate 1/32 and only drive forward,

yeah I used to have one of the little 1/32 models when I was a little kid. I figured the 1/10 rc must be a new release!

wow! im a big fan of the tamiya cars but ive been away from that hobby for a while. That 410 looks amazing though, i had no idea they would ever release one. last time i looked at tamiya's they had released a split screen camper on the same chassis, as you can imagine it didnt look very nice :yuk:

Well, looks like I might be getting a 1:10 scale rock crawler then. :D
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Yeah the body looks pretty detailed too, more so than the speedway pal (peo 14) SJ body. Yeah I'm a big fan of tamiya too the kits are well put together & the instructions are comprehensive, personally I enjoy assembling tamiya kits as much as I do running them! Here are a few more images curtesy of Google.

And finally a link to a UK shop that sells the kit as I know some people don't like to buy from abroad/eBay - but expect to pay more!
