Subaru Brat Re-release in March (no joke)

[akihabaramallrat]

Released with changes as per the frog. Probably as with the rerelease body there will be no metal core in the roll bar

[DJTheo]

Excellent news as its a lovely car and it would mean re-releases are not over! [H] Also will make tires and wheels obtainable! [Y] Do you know if it will come with RS-380 and rear friction shocks?

Cheers 

[dunebuggy71]

Fantastic news !

Mr. Tamiya don´t stop making me happy. []

 

[RichieRich]

Yeah, I wonder if it will come with the posi-traction "diff" like the original.

[mobias]

 Great news but there's got to be a Monster Beetle coming next year to surely (and a HotShot, SuperShot, Bigwig, Avante..enter your fav ever Tamiya here)

[Thunderbug]

Wow.[H]

If this is true it will fulfill a Tamiya dream for me as this was the first Tamiya car I ever wanted. 2 will be bought if so. If not I won't be disappointed as the re-release Hornet satisfied my lost youth.

[Stefan(2)]

ow men, that is nice, thanks for the info/scoop !

(nice to have member close to the tamiya - home - ground )

[akemag]

Thats SO nice! The Brat was my first real r/c, and my first Tamiya.

I´ve been hoping ever since the release of the Hi-Lift to buy one, but the price with a new radio and all is a bit to steep for me now. My little babygirl has to come first, and theres alot of stuff to buy.

But a Brat shouldnt be pricy at all!

 Now this really made me happy!

[Bigwheels_inc]

If its true then we can exspect a mudblaster re-release some time soon after along with the monster beetle or mor likely with fords recent trend towards fords a blackfoot

has any bodt got proof of the pending brat re-re

sorry if i sound like im sceptical but with the recent forum with someone making a stupid joke about an SRB re-re i would like to see something from tamiya on there sight first

This is awesome i love the brat. Just picked one up last weekend for $25 but now i will get to build a new one again.

[technical.burP]

Oh, now it's time to flood the market with all those Sandblaster tyres before they loose their high value. ;-)

[acorn]

So if  they are releasing old Frog chassis models, can we hope for the Lancia too?

[Wandy]

Fantastic!! So this surely means that the article published in that Japanese magazine, claiming "no more re-releases" was well wide of the mark?

 Come on Mr Tamiya, give us a Boomerang next.

This is great, but I'm just curious how you got this information? It's

kind of hard just to take somebody's word on a rerelease with all the

false alarms we've had.

Well, it's not only a member who says this, it's akihabira mall rat! He is one of the guys from JR-RC or at least Jason himself! He is like the pope who has a direct wire to god! ;-) 

[rroodd]

Well we all know if the subject heading says "No Joke", then it must be true .........

[Dephcon5]

Is there a pic or a link or any thing formal from Tamiya about this re re Brat?

[akihabaramallrat]

I know a couple of club members are going to the Tamiya GP this weekend so even if its not ready for display there any Tamiya employees will be able to confirm it.

Stella have been selling them for ages chap http://www.stellamodels.net/catalog/default.php?cPath=156

 

Cool news on the Brat though, loads 4WD looking SRBs on the way  []

It IS Jason of JR-RC fame!!

Good news, this is one re-re I'll be getting, I also had an original Brat and loved it!!

[Corpse Thrower]

I'll be getting one for sure if this is true!!

[Mad Ax]

Wow!  I said months back that if the Brat was re-re'd, I'd buy

one.  Looks like it's time to put my money where my mouth is!!

My

first NIB Tamiya was the Mud Blaster, but I soon converted it with

smaller wheels as it rolled over far too easy. The Brat was blatantly

the car I should have got, although it wasn't available (or at least

not in my LHS) when I wandered in with my pocket money.

Depending

on how many funds are available I might even buy two - one to keep

standard (plus bearings) and one to modify with hot motor, oil shocks,

various other bits & pieces...

[Acto-Tuned]

Well this was a pleasant surprise. I thought the whole re-release thing was over. A re-re Brat would make an excellent runner and like Theo pointed out getting hold of rims for F-150 Ranger projects should be quite simple after March.

[billg4]

would be fun if it does go through. I had one, and a mudblaster back in the 80's

So sorry, I didn't know it was you[:$]. This is shaping up great!
