Incredible Full-Size Tamiya Bruiser Video


We see RC cars modeled after full-size vehicles all the time. But a full-size vehicle modeled after an RC car? That’s something you DON’T see too often! Case in point, this beautiful “Tamiya Bruiser” that was on display at RCX. we’d say it’s “full size,” but it’s more accurate to say it’s “10:1 scale,” since it’s ten times bigger than the Tamiya model!

The Great Cross Circuit 2017 with a total length of 200 m with numerous new sections arranged will cycle around 15 venues nationwide. ● New Section “Loose Road” Themiddle three lanes are gentle straight, one end lane and five lanes are a loose straight section made up of outward bulging curves. Wash walls randomly placed on the side of the course and changed to “Rocking Loose Road”. Because the course width is wider than usual, the machine is more likely to shake in the left and right direction and lateral stability is essential. ● New section “Omega Bank” TheΩ (Omega) turn which appeared in “Mini 4WD Grand Prix 2017 Spring” held from February of 2017 further evolved. A composite bank section that turns 90 degrees from the bank approach and then turns 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

Four lanes, four machines traveled in the bank, and the other one lane flat.
