Tamiya wins several reader awards of the magazine MODELL FAHRZEUG for 2020


The magazine MODELL FAHRZEUG – Germany’s leading magazine for car miniatures – has awarded the prestigious “Model Vehicle of the Year” prize for the 30th time. This year, the “Model Car Oscars” were chosen virtually for the first time, at the agricultural machinery specialist CLAAS in Harsewinkel.

The initiators of this year’s “Model Car Oscars” awards again had to break new ground with the trade magazine MODELL FAHRZEUG. Other times require different formats and that is why the 30th reader’s choice was made virtually. Together with the host CLAAS, the editorial staff of MODELL FAHRZEUG had decided on a digital format this year and recorded the ceremony at the agricultural machinery specialist’s headquarters in Harsewinkel. The stream with the award ceremony is now available on YouTube:

Winner category Q model making: Various scales, Porsche 934 “Jägermeister”, Tamiya in 1/12

Winner Category S RC: Electro Business, VW Karmann Ghia, Tamiya in 1/10

Top brand 2020 RC: Tamiya

Just add some electronics & go! Tamiya 46701 Lunch Box X-SA video review by RC Driver



Here’s a true classic in the RC world, the Tamiya Lunch Box. This iconic custom RC van is easily recognizable and a favorite among many RC enthusiasts who have been in the hobby for a long time. In the past this RC was offered as a kit and then a Ready To Run and even a special edition offering. Now, it’s available in another form, an X-SA kit. X-SA stands for Expert Semi-Assembled which means the Van arrives professionally built and detailed from Tamiya with motor and ESC also included. All you need to do with this kit is install a radio system, servo, battery and go! Pure Tamiya RC fun is right at your finger-tips with this easy to finish kit. In our review we go over the kit’s features, it’s assembly and take it out for some old school bashing fun. Want to experience some of the best of RC’s past? The Tamiya Lunch Box X-SA might be the ticket.

Satoshi Maezumi (Paisen RC) video review of the Tamiya Lunch Box



The lunch box, named after the “lunch box” that carries lunch, is a particularly popular machine among the big tires. In spite of its comical appearance, it speeds up and you can enjoy a very powerful run.
It is an all-round, highly runnable machine with agile movement and handling.
In addition to the XB finished product that can be played right out of the box, the conventional assembly kit is also on sale. You can purchase it at your local hobby shop or RC specialty store.
