TurnipJF 10243 Posted October 20 Taking a look over at Tamiyablog, I see that Tamiya have released some Mini 4WD models with a cute little snake driver figure to celebrate the Year of the Snake. Do you reckon that we will see some 1/10 RC models with this figure included, along the lines of the Kumamon buggy and tractor? Which model(s) do you think would suit such a driver? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rijkvv 66 Posted October 20 Probably not the answer you were looking for, but I immediately had to think of this. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alvinlwh 7227 Posted October 20 Great. One to add to this year's one which I recently got. Will pick that up at Tamiya HK when I also pick this up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool concept for kids, pity about the totally inappropriate name. Pythons are constrictor snakes, do not have the ability to hood up or spray venom, and most of them don't even have fangs. But I suppose the name Spitting Cobra has been used by many others and they wanted something different. 🤔 That, or their primary market wasn't snake nerds... 🐍 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5850 Posted October 20 I don't know, but if they come out with a buggy called the Danger Noodle, I'm totally buying it, even if it's another DT02 rehash... 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows? With its looong slender chassis, they might even base it on a DT-03 this time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could even change the US flag for a snake flag. Not that I have anything against the US flag, as long as there's a BullHead just beneath. Who on Earth doesn't need a BullHead with a snake on its flag. I really wonder. ... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could even name it the Bullsnake, after the large American colubrid. 🐍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kowalski86 4274 Posted October 21 I was hoping that "year of the snake" would mean somebody making a Shelby Cobra RC! Other than the "my first" Mini-Z of course. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been thinking real hard that my from-me-to-me X-mas present this year was going to be a Clod, now I can't get the image of a "No Step On Snek" Bullhead out of my head. TY for that 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
