Information on Tamiya parts panel collection

Precisely reproduced scale model parts are carefully painted one by one and laid out without assembling. I pulled out the charm of the mechanism to the fullest and put it in a full-scale frame. In addition, Tamiya stickers are embedded in the side of the frame, which is moated by NC processing, and the aluminum name plate creates high quality. The “Parts Panel Collection” has a high-quality finish that can be used not only as a decoration on the wall of a room but also as a decoration for a store.

Application deadline: May 31, 2022 (Tuesday)

The parts panel collection is a made-to-order product. If you would like to purchase it, please apply to a model dealer near you.

Video review of Tamiya 58706 Thunder Shot 2022


Well, it’s back Tamiya fans! The Tamiya Thunder Shot found here: https://snp.link/38e9db67 has been rereleased once again and if you missed the original or 2005 buggy, you don’t want to pass up on the Thunder Shot 2022. The buggy will bring back lots of memories for some and if you’re new to the hobby, this is a fun way to experience the early days in RC. The Thunder Shot 2022 is a full build up 4wd off-road buggy kit and has a few tweaks from earlier versions. In this video Greg will go over some of the basics of this buggy and give it a classic bash run in a dirt parking lot. This is truly a fun kit, see for yourself!

First details and photos of Mini 4WD Tamiya 18658 Chevalier (MA chassis) & 19803 Lord Knight (VZ chassis)

18658 Chevalier (MA chassis)

The model name is the French word “chevalier”, which means knight in Italian.

– The MA chassis is molded in black ABS and combined with black molded A-parts.
– The dark blue ABS body features a sports car design and a three-part design for easy assembly.
– The silver Y-pattern spoked wheels are matched with black low-profile small-diameter tyres.
– Dedicated metal effect stickers are included to decorate the model.
– Motor type 130 included. The model uses a 3.5:1 gear ratio.

19803 Lord Knight (VZ chassis)

Strong and noble night driving Shaft drive A plastic model assembly kit for high-performance racers that uses four-wheel drive. Rhodonite is a machine driven by Gris McKenzie, the main character’s classmate who appears in the manga serialized in CoroCoro Comic, “MINI 4 KING”. The sharp styling accents are the canopy guard frame and the rear-extending comb-like air intake. It is one of the characteristic ones with a graceful atmosphere reminiscent of the armor worn by Western knights (knights). In addition, there are three types of special parts that greatly enhance driving performance: a rear high mount roller with a side guard stabilizer function, a front under guard, and a height roller. Not only does it prevent the course from going off and improve driving stability, but the contrast between the blue body and clear yellow is also attractive. The chassis is lightweight, compact and adopts VZ suitable for actual battles, and large diameter slick tires are set on white dish type wheels. The logo on the front with a strong presence is expressed with metallic stickers.

VZ chassis in pursuit of strength and expandability The VZ chassis is a further refinement of the performance of the compact, lightweight, short wheelbase VS chassis that is also popular in racing. While maintaining the excellent features of the VS chassis such as small turning performance and high maintainability, the strength of the bumper, rear stay base, propeller shaft bearing, etc. has been improved. The point is the appropriate “bending” that absorbs the impact. In addition to the rear roller stay, the front bumper can also be split. The degree of freedom of setting is also greatly improved. And the bearing of the shaft adopts 620 plastic bearing made of POM resin with low frictional resistance. A parts such as chassis body and gear cover, and special parts are made of ABS resin. The gear ratio is set to 4.2: 1.

Basic specifications ● Overall length 158 mm, overall width 98 mm, overall height 45 mm ● With motor ● Can be assembled by fitting and screwing without using adhesive
