Champ85 609 Posted January 25, 2012 It would be cool if they used the same chassis as the Nissan King Cab/Toyota Hi-Lux for the Nissan Titan Racing chassis. Then an Astute re-re might not be too much of a stretch! But yeah, it'll probably be on the TA-02T chassis like the re-re'ed Ford F150. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandy 1527 Posted January 25, 2012 The plastic 3 speeds are now retailing at ~US$440 so yeah a metal version would probably come in at around the $600 mark I reckon from the likes of RC Mart & Stella. Maybe a shade under if we are lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davepettigrew 0 Posted January 25, 2012 i have a original bruiser and i hopr the re re will be similair. if its a high lift chassis im not intersted , plastic doesnt turn me on , i like metal(optimas , 3 speeds, avante) my guess is $600 to $800 on ebay for the rere. there does seem to be alot of originals on ebay lately for some reason lol. regardless mine is not for sale and never will be . cant beat an original Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eming9766 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Awesome news. I don't mind getting one as well. But I will really need to start saving up, as I know these won't be cheap. I'm curious to know more about this entry, '58511 1/10 NISSAN TITAN RACING'. I searched on 'Google image' and it shows another truck. I was hoping it would be another hard shell. But knowing Tamiya, I guess not. 2012 is really looking interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OCD 514 Posted January 26, 2012 I'd be very surprised if they made a new chassis for the Nissan Titan racing... They'll probably take the easy route and put it on a TA-02T or a CC-01... Mind you, a sorted, longer, and wider CC-01 would be cool... having said that... It would be great if it comes on a new chassis! speculation with a company is easy with Tamiya. they will do what they always do, put it on a chassis they already make... at least they have more chassis types than another RC maker... Well, I was hoping for a new chassis because let's face it, Tamiya NEED a new chassis to fill the short-course gap in their line-up. The CC01 isn't fast enough in any form and the TA02T doesn't even begin to fill the shoes of the competitors' SC trucks. Or maybe they can evolve the DF03 or something else that is already available? Plenty of spares and hop-ups already exist for the DF03 chassis, so it would make good economic sense for Tamiya to go this direction if they plan on bringing a new SC truck to the market.

B.M.T. 127 Posted January 26, 2012 As I have a Bruiser already, I am happy for those who don't. I might pick up a new set of steps and bumpers when the breakers have at them, as mine are that horrid yellow white plastic goes after a while. I can't see it deviating too far from original, as when Tamiya officially calls it a re-re it's close. The Sand Rover and Holiday Buggy had the current years in their names, so they were a "II" rather than a re-re, some folks just saw it that way. I'm curious on the Titan too. The Titan is the size of the Tundra, so it might be another Highlift... or a LWB CC01. I'm not putting any pay to the SCT idea, even though Tamiya were going to make one (based on the Avanti non the less ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
