Like in the beginning of 2009 which products do you think Tamiya could release this year (static, RC, mini, anything) and which products would you personally like to be released (regardless of if their chances are realistic)?
Feel free to use the comments link at the end of this entry (comments are shown after being checked which can take some hours).
Universal driveshaft for CC01 chassis…
1:10 fiat 500 Abarth (not the asseto corse but normal abarth) body or kit
1:1O Fiat 500 Abarth Rally

1:10 Audi R8

- Blackfoot – Re-Release

- Fiat Punto Abarth Rallye
- Audi Ur-Quattro Rallye on DF-03ra
- Ford Bronco CC-01

Monster Beetle re-release
Ford Bronco CC01
Mercedes Benz Unimog CC01
Renault Alpine A310 M05
Renault 5 Turbo M05

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F104
Mercedes GP Petronas F104
Hopes (RC):

Guesses

- Monster Beetle re-release
- The Falcon re-release
- M-06 (RWD alternative to the M-05)
- New Blackfoot generation (ie new chassis to replace the WR-01)
My guess this won't ever happen
- Blackfoot re-release: the BF lineage never ended since 58058. Makes no sense to re-re the 58058.
- Avante re-release: they already did the mk2 thing on DF-03.
Porsche 959 (I love to see 1/12 re-release or on Tamtech chassis)
But 1/10 is good too, so I can run on my touring chassis.
TRF 2WD buggy and stadium truck
New TRF 4WD (by the end of the year)
Hey guys and a happy new year.
For the most part I am with most of your guys when it comes to Lancias, Porsche, Audi and Fiat etc.
But I would also like to see (or wish) a new european truck say a newer Mercedes or a MAN in 8×4 config.
Add to that wish a electric 1/8 buggy from Tamiya.
(Who would like to see Tamiya re-releasing the TGX 1/8 series in electric config? ME, me, me!)
Must wait until the Toy Fair to see in which direction Tamiya is headed in 2010.
Best Regards,
GreatDane c'',)
Hopes (RC):
- Tamiya TA06 chassis
certainly:
- Wild One
- Bigwig
…
Hopelfully:
Ford F150 Ranger SRB
Gallardo (TA05)
R5 Turbo (M-chassis)
Hopes:
Wild One
Sand Rover
Monster Beetle
Porsche 959 Rally
I would like to see these:
.
Mountaineer Re-Release
Avante Re-Release
Blackfoot/Monster Beetle Re-Release
Wild One Re-Release
I will start to save money now
I would like to see a scale 1.9 size tire truck for crawling with a new hard body.
My guess would be.
1/10 Porsche 959 DF03ra
1/10 Fast Attack Vehicle
1/10 Wild One
1/10 Citroen C4 WRC 2009 DF03ra
1/10 Redbull Renault 2009 F104
Anything is possible.

Hello Theo, Lars, Dunebuggy71, all the best to you and a happy new year.
My guess for a re-re are as follows:
Ford F-150 on SRB chassis
Celica Lombard Rally (the one before '94) on DF-03RA
Hopes:
Tank like Pistenbully like Kyosho's Blizzard but with sound 2 Motors and gears and scale appearance.
Hello Uwe, thank you, all the best to you too. If you mean the 90-94 Celica (5th generation / T180) it exists already on DF03Ra, but as a limited kit (92200).
my wish:
re-release:
1/18 challenger series (esp. VW buggy)
1/32 "1st generation" mini 4WD (i.e. 19001-19005)
1/10 RC Avante
1/10 RC Fox
1/10 RC Wild One / FAV
1/10 RC Porsche 959 (original chassis or DF-03RA)
1/20 RC Mammoth Dump Truck
new:
1/10 RC Willy's Wheeler (WR2 chassis, use smaller wheels)
1/20 or 1/10 RC Brawn BGP001
1/24 Hilux-style pickup
1/24 Unimog
Mammoth Dump Truck (similar size as 1/24 cars, but scale is "1/48"?)
new 1/6 bikes or 1/12 big scale cars (have some new models, not keep on re-re again and again)
1/8 RC bike…?
Very interesting choices Ken
, one little correction though, the original 959 body and chassis are 1:12, so for the DF03Ra a new body has to be made.
I hope more of FIA-GT / Le Mans race cars for R/C chassis:
- 1/10 Corvette C6R GT1
- 1/10 Aston Martin DBR9 GT1
- 1/10 Ford GT MATECH GT1 2010 specs
- 1/10 Audi R8 LMS GT3
- 1/10 Nissan GT-R GT1 2010 specs
- 1/10 Lamborghini Murcielago GT1
- More LMP1 bodies for thee F103 GT, like Pescarolo, oreca, audi R15, etc…
My guesses:
- Blazing Blazer High-Lift
- M06 Chassis (RWD) Renault 5 turbo
- DF03RA Porsche 959
- DF03RA Toyota Celica Gr.B
- Cheetah rere
- new FF03 Chassis w.Ford Focus RS
- Porsche 959 rere
wishes:
- DF03RA Fiat 131 Rally
- DF03RA Opel Ascona 400
- DF03RA Lancia Stratos
- 1:10 Wiessmann V8 Coupe
- 2WD Desert Buggy (like SC10)
TA06 instead of TA05vII
F104 in Prototype bodies
F104 in more official manufacturer liveries – Mercedes, Williams, Sauber, etc.
M06 w/RWD
i wish for mini 4wd:
dash 0 horizon pro
dash 00 horizon boundless pro
dash 001 great emperor pro
dash x1 proto emperor pro
proto emperor zx pro
dash cb1 geo emperor pro
crimson glory super fm chassis
dash cb2 blazing sun super fm chassis
dash 4 cannon ball pro
dash 5 dancing doll pro
please uncle tamiya….
Guesses:
1:10 Monster Beetle Re-Release
1:10 Blackfoot Re-Release
1:10 Porsche 959 Rally (I Agree)
Hopes:
1:10 TRF 2WD Buggy! Please!!
1:10 Fox Re-Release!
1:10 Avante Re-Release
1:10 TRF 511 New Body Shell
Way back when Tamiya released a fully working dump truck. I would love to see that return and perhaps a whole line of construction r/c would be awesome.
Would also be fun to see some more radical r/c designs. I love to own any of these:
1/10 True Sandrail chassis.
1/10 Ariel Atom
1/10 Caterham
1/8 4WD Electric Buggy
Military APC or IFV type vehicles. Not Hummers or jeep type vehicles but things like Russian BTRs or the American Stryker.
I am still waiting for the Astute re issue but having read some of your comments/suggestions there are a few good ones there i'd love to see, namely
Holiday Buggy/Sand Rover
Monster Beetle
Avante
Porsche 959
Super Champ
Renault 5 Turbo would be fantastic on the M05!
Fingers crossed hey, come on Mr T!d a
Re -release king cab
re- release hi lux monster racer
escort mk 4 rs turbo on m chassis
Ok, so me again… I'm ashamed not to have added like surprinsigly so many other did:
M06 Chassis:
Renault 5 Turbo Ragnotti Andrie Tour de Corse
Alpine Renault 310 Calberson with Fleishmann widebody kit or the 82 Pack GT.
OR
on M05
Renault Twingo GT/Rally/Gordini
Renault Clio R3
Renault Dacia Logan Cup
Renault 12 Gordini
on M06
Renault 8 Gordini Cup
Renault Megane Trophy 2005 or 2010 (on M06)
AND MOST OF ALL, the return of full size 1/10 chassis designed exclusively as RWD or FWD. Yes the TT01/DF03/TA05 are bullet proof and nearly idiot proof. but sometimes a little more subtlety in the driving spec would be good.
(But the last RC Alpine 310 was a Kyosho, so no big hopes there. As for the UR Quattro, looooong ago it was a Tamiya hardbody, but up until now it's also a lexan kit from Carlson Germany sold RTR or kit on TT01 chassis so it in fact already exist…)
@Coligny: The old Tamiya Quattro was a lexan body like also the same chassied Ascona (just the front and rear ends where plastic parts for more detail), the Lancia 037 was a hard body.
Guess Tamiya also don't know or just ignore the Carson "creations" as they now simply "overwrite" the 584xx numbers which Carson had used for them with their own new models (like Carson Audi Quattro GR4 had number 58448 which now is used by Tamiya Corolla Axio GT), I am glad they do
Guesses:
- Wild One
- 1/10 Audi Quattro
- Renault R Turbo on M05
Wishes
-Avante re-re
-Sand Rover re-re
-GT01 porsche 908
-GT01 porsche 936 (Tamiya read this!)

@eric: Please don't apologize, its nice to see votes that are not only RC related, also we shouldn't forget how big and important also statics and Mini4WD are for Tamiya. Great choices by the way!
@Eric
You forgot the Tamiya 1/12 big scale cars….
No wishes in this category that are not re-re?
Best Regards,
GreatDabe c'',)
A new 1/12th kit from Tamiya ?? It would be more than a dream
So a 1/12 McLaren Mercedes MP4/23 2008 World Champion will be perfect !!
@Eric
You are right, it would be more than a dream….;-)
But nothing wrong in wishing a new big scale car release from Tamiya and the McLaren suits me just fine

I would really like a modern battle tank like a Russian t-90 or 72 to join the rc battle force.
Basically I would welcome anything modern.But the Abrams looks so clean and slick from the outside. The T 90 has a lot of kit bolted to the outside giving a lot of nice details to a model.
