Tamiya 64449 R/C Guide Book Volume 22 (2023 Autumn-Winter)


Tamiya RC Guidebook Vol.22 2023 AUTUMN-WINTER is published, which carefully selects Tamiya’s main RC models. We have a rich variety of lineups, including off-road cars that can be driven anywhere, standard touring cars and formula cars that can be enjoyed at high speeds, tanks and trailer trucks that are large and impressive, and 3-wheel RCs that are attracting attention for cornering by tilting the vehicle body. Contains Tamiya’s main RC models, such as the complete model XB, which you can play right out of the box.

First photo of Tamiya 58732 Giulia Sprint GTA Club Racer (MB-01 chassis)


The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Club Racer makes an appearance on the new and versatile MB-01 chassis platform. This time around the MB-01 is configured to be the middle wheelbase with midship rear motor/rear wheel drive (MR) specification. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA was developed as the lightweight, tuned race version of the 2-door coupe Giulia Sprint GT and released in 1965. 500 units were produced and in the late 1960s the works car became class champion several times in the European Touring Car Championship; also run by other racing teams, it caught a lot of attention at the racetrack!

The MB-01 Chassis
The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbases, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. This model employs a midship motor, rear-wheel drive setup. Without removing battery pack, motor, and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.

58731 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR 1997 (TC-01 chassis)

The Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR R/C car kit first made its appearance in the Tamiya product catalog in 1998 on the popular TA-03R chassis platform then later the easy to assemble TT-01E platform. The CLK-GTR has made a return this time on our high-performance TC-01 chassis platform, which is destined to provide the most performance yet as it takes advantage of the Mercedes sleek body profile and the low center of gravity of the TC-01!

TC-01: Seriously Low-Profile
This durable composite monocoque-frame chassis provides shaft driven 4WD from a central motor via front and rear propeller shafts, with oil filled gear differentials. 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs long arms, plus inboard setups front and rear with oil shock-dampers actuated by push rods and rocker arms to allow the use of low-profile bodies. Adjust spacer width to easily alter camber, skid, and toe angle settings. Both suspension arms and uprights are identical left, right, front and rear, for more efficient maintenance and pit work.

Rumours about a new production batch of Tamiya 58583 Egress 2013 in spring 2024


Length: 430mm. Image shows painted and assembled kit.

Back, and Ready to Take On Modern Day Competition
Tamiya is pleased to welcome back the Egress, successor to the famed Avante. The Avante was originally launched in 1988 and Tamiya took advantage of the experience and know-how garnered by the Tamiya Racing Factory (TRF; founded in 1989) team to make a racing version of the Avante: the Egress. It featured carbon fiber plates made of the material seen on hi-tech racing cars and aircraft, and employed racing parts such as ball diffs, high-capacity oil dampers, and lightweight titanium screws. Now, the shaft-driven Egress receives a makeover to bring it right up to date and unleash a whole new world of potential.

Durable shaft-driven 4WD chassis uses a range of carbon parts
This shaft-driven 4WD chassis features a longitudinally-positioned motor and full ball bearings, while carbon fiber upper and lower decks ensure that the model has superb strength. Re-designed front and rear ball differentials offer excellent reliability and easy maintenance, working in tandem with the built-in center one-way to provide sure-footed movement. The one-way bearing can be locked. Universal drive shafts feature the same design as those used in the current TRF series parts, in order to maximize power transmission and improve resistance to wear and tear. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension is supported by 4 oil dampers equipped with aluminum cylinders, while the front and rear of the model are fitted with stabilizers. Aluminum front uprights offer excellent reliability, and ball bearings in steering linkage arms combine with 2mm thick carbon fiber plate to offer a linear steering response. The Egress has been truly revamped across the board, and it also features a brushless motor.
