Tamiya 15534 Small Dia. Low Friction Low-profile Tires (26mm) & Carbon Wheels (Fin)


This part is useful for improving the performance and setting of the machine
A set of tires with even less grip than super hard tires and reinforced wheels with carbon fiber. The black colored tires can be installed on the front side to improve the turning ability of the machine, or installed on only the left or right side to cancel out the running resistance caused by the difference in the inner wheel by sliding, or installed only on the rear side to reduce speed when jumping and prevent going off the course. Can be installed on various Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO cars equipped with low-height tires.
Basic specifications
Set of 4 tires and 4 wheels, tire outer diameter 26 mm
Compatible machines
Mini 4WD PRO and Mini 4WD cars with small diameter tires (Some bodies require processing. Because the tires are hard, they are pressed firmly into place.)

Tamiya 58740 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 (BT-01 Chassis)


The BT-01 2-wheel motor frame offers FF/MR/FR configuration choices.
Tamiya introduces a new short pass model that uses this frame in the rear track configuration (MR).
The body shop recreates the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8.
The Porsche Carrera RS 2.7 is a legend of the Porsche 911 series, developed to compete in the European GT races in 1973, and featured a 2,687cc, six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine capable of producing 210 hp.
The Corsa Carrera RSR 2.8 version has increased cylinder capacity to 2,808 cc and power over 300 CV; In 1973 he became European champion of Corsica GT and won numerous global victories.

Information about the model:
• R/C model assembly kit in 1/10 scale. Length: 457mm, width: 204mm, height: 138mm. Height: 251mm. (Short).
• The shape of the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 is thoroughly restored in light polycarbonate.
• The silver-colored rims (front: wide, back: wide / red rims and co-pricers are separate) are combined with slick running rubber (front: item 50454, back: item 50547). Please note that the kit does not have internal splinters either front or back.
• Stamped plastic parts to recreate rear view mirrors.
• The 2WD BT-01 frame offers the possibility of switching between two types of pass and front or rear tracking systems. Without removing the battery, the motor and the R/C impeller parts, it is possible to change the configuration of the model, for example: front or rear track (FR), or it is possible to choose the position of the rear motor towards the centre (MR) for the car in rear track. The double oscillating arm on the 4 wheels and the suspensions feature a uniform structure and friction shock absorbers. Single sections such as engine support, final gears and suspensions facilitate assembly and limited maintenance. A wide range of options allows you to personalize the model.

Tamiya 58738 XM-01 PRO Chassis Kit video review



The world of RC Rally just got better with the release of the Tamiya XM-01 Pro. Tamiya has continued to support this segment and although some of their releases are fun model builds, those who demand racing performance handling and features will surely want to gravitate to this kit. Inside the full build up kit, you’ll find aluminum shocks, oil filled diffs, full ball bearings and more which Greg will break down for you in this video. Then you need to see this run. It’s just a fun run, but you’ll see how good the XM-01 looks ripping around in the dirt!

Official product videos of Tamiya 47304 Fighting Buggy 2014 & 70259 Walking & Swimming Penguin



Tamiya is delighted to welcome the Fighting Buggy back to its product line-up with this re-release version of the 1982 R/C buggy classic. It retains the unique suspension and drivetrain setups employed on the original model and pairs them with a newly-designed chassis. The ABS resin body keeps the shape and design theme from its predecessor, accenting it with updated markings. It is equipped with an aluminum roof wing part and side nets for an authentic buggy-esque look.

A Highly Satisfying Off-Road Experience
The original 2mm-thick FRP and duralumin chassis plate is replaced with a new 2.5mm-thick FRP plate, finished in black like the 1.5mm-thick mechanism deck. The model can be powered by the separately sold Tamiya LF Battery LF1100-6.6V Racing Pack (M-Size), which will fit neatly underneath the mechanism deck. Afficionados of the original model will note that the die cast arms remain the same on the 2014 version, while the separate reserve tank is still used on the rear suspension, which otherwise receives a number of new parts. A sealed direct drive gear case also houses the motor and protects it from dust and dirt. Stability is provided by ribbed front tires, and the rear gives excellent grip thanks to tires with tread patterns that extend to the sidewalls. 3-piece wheels are used both front and rear.

This assembly kit creates the Walking and Swimming Penguin, which waddles on land and swims in the water. The submarine motor powers its legs via gearbox as it moves, and in the water the model raises its head and swims with its flippers. Use its rudder to apply direction. Includes everything needed for easy snap-fit/screw-together assembly. Stickers for eyes, beak and body are also included. One separately sold R03/AAA/UM4 battery is required.
