The 2007 model year saw the release of a re-engineered MINI, which many have unofficially dubbed as the Mk.II MINI. Although it looks similar to the first generation MINI, it uses completely new body panels and also features such cosmetic changes as repositioned turn signals and new front grille. The Cooper S is the top-of-the-line model and is powered by a turbocharged 175hp 4-cylinder engine mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The engine also has a unique Overboost function that pumps out more torque when it is needed, giving the car performance to match its sporty image.

About the Model
★ Compact M-03L chassis features front-mounted motor and front-wheel drive, just like the actual MINI, to enable realistic handling.
★ Easy-to-assembly monocoque frame is made from durable resin material.
★ 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension helps produce nimble cornering.
★ New body parts made from lightweight polycarbonate accurately reproduce the subtle changes of the MINI Cooper S 2006, including hood scoop and wing.
★ Separately-molded parts for side mirrors ensure sharp detail.
★ Stylish wheels equipped with synthetic rubber radial tires.

The latest addition to Tamiya’s lineup of R/C off-road buggies using the proven DT-02 2WD chassis is the Neo Falcon, which continues in the direction of adapting popular Mini 4WD PRO products into 1/10 scale R/C cars. This gives kids who enjoy Mini 4WD an easy way to naturally progress to the next level and it also provides parents who enjoy R/C with a way to connect to their kids and share the hobby with them.

About the Model
★ 1/10 R/C off-road buggy assembly kit based on the user-friendly DT-02 2WD chassis.
★ 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with oil dampers provide stable handling.
★ Adjustable suspension upper arms enable easy customization of camber angle.
★ Gearbox is completely enclosed to protect from interference by dirt and debris.
★ Full ball bearings reduce friction loss for greater power transfer efficiency.
★ New body shell is inspired by the futuristic Mini 4WD PRO car and is made from durable lightweight polycarbonate material.
★ White Astral Dish Wheels are equipped with grooved front tires and spiked rear tires.

Tamiya’s Fire Dragon was a popular R/C off-road buggy that was produced in the late 1980s. The chassis was an evolution from the Thunder Shot chassis and featured a more conventional 4 oil damper suspension instead of the previous front mono-shock system for improved off-road handling. R/C fans who dreamed about owning this buggy as children have now grown up, and Tamiya is about to make their childhood dream a reality. We are proud to announce that the Fire Dragon will return in its original form.

About the Model
★ Nostalgic 1/10 scale R/C off-road buggy assembly kit.
★ Shaft-driven 4WD chassis features durable monocoque frame and a chassis cover to help safeguard internal mechanisms.
★ Front and rear gearboxes are fully enclosed to prevent interference from dirt and debris.
★ Differential gear ensures efficient power transfer from the motor.
★ 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension equipped with 4 oil dampers.
★ Distinctive body shell locates the driver’s cockpit near the nose and is made from tough lightweight polycarbonate.

The IFMAR Electric 1/10 Off-Road Car World Championships are held in Japan this year and Team TRF will be there in force with their specially-tuned TRF501X machines. To commemorate this participation, Tamiya is announcing the release of a TRF501X World Championship Edition, featuring many special parts that will be used at this world-class R/C race. These option parts promise to bring out the true potential of this racing buggy.

About the Model
# 1/10 scale assembly kit R/C model of the TRF501X, with many special option parts added.
# Differential has been redesigned to increase performance and durability.
# New parts including aluminum caster block, aluminum rear upright, and reinforced upper arm mounts further enhance the buggy’s ability to withstand the rigors of off-road racing.
# New ball connectors made from high-strength steel.
# New damper pistons made from Delrin, a lightweight and low-friction resin material.
# The entire drivetrain has been modified to improve power-transfer efficiency, with parts such as an 18T center pulley, 37T ball diff. pulley, and 369mm drive belts.
# Clear polycarbonate body shell has been redesigned for better aerodynamics.

In recent years, world-class on-road R/C touring car race events have encouraged the use of brushless motors in conjunction with event-controlled tires. To achieve success under such conditions, a fine balance must be achieved between handling and tire wear. It is with this in mind that Tamiya designers developed the concept of the brand new TRF416 chassis.

About the Model
# 1/10 scale assembly kit R/C model of the TRF416 chassis.
# New 2.25mm lower deck design emphasizes simplicity, while the 2mm upper deck has been lengthened.
# Front and rear bulkheads feature the same width while everything about the chassis down to the screw locations has been designed for optimum symmetry for better roll characteristics.
# In order to obtain maximum traction, both the motor and the center shaft positions have been moved back to shift more weight to the rear of the car.
# Drivetrain features front direct-drive, center direct-drive, and rear ball diff.
# Front and rear uprights equipped with 1050 size ball bearings.
# 37T pulleys for front and rear, while an 18T pulley is installed in the center.
# R/C system, body, tires, motor, ESC, battery & charger separately required.

Since it’s release last year, Tamiya’s TRF501X has enjoyed many competition successes, including winning the recent European Championships in Finland. The experience gained through the development of the TRF501X is now available to fans around the world in the form of this much-anticipated R/C off-road buggy, Durga.

About the Model
# All-new DB01 chassis locates heavy components such as battery and motor near the center for optimum weight distribution.
# Race-proven and reliable 2-belt driven 4WD system is completely enclosed with ABS resin covers to prevent dirt and debris from interfering with drivetrain operations.
# Chassis features integrated bulkheads, which reduces the number of parts and simplifies maintenance.
# Tough ABS resin 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system features the same configuration as the TRF501X and provides a wide range of settings options.
# Brand new buggy body with rear wing is made from lightweight polycarbonate material.
# Wheels, tires, and Type 540 motor are included.
# 2-channel transmitter, ESC, running battery & charger are separately required.
