pikachoo-75 3 Posted May 17, 2013 Every true Tamiya fan must get that 1/24 scale hiace tamiya cargo van . And i know someone here at TC will turn it into a RC version. Mark my words. I was remembering the "Avante front" Tamiya R/C guidebook,it shows how to fit the cargo van to a Tamtech chassis.along side the make your own shell that looked like a wonky delorean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beefmuffin 1156 Posted May 20, 2013 do you guys think it's going to be hard to find these kits when they come out? is it really that important to get on a waiting list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4270 Posted May 20, 2013 This is a regular 58xxx kit, not an 84xxx kit, so I think it will be around for awhile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.T. 127 Posted May 23, 2013 ...... and the Landfreeder is.............. A CC01 with a Bush Devil body :lol: :lol: :lol: O for Orsum. Not. They could of at least used a Blackfoot 3 Ranger. ... Like we scalers used to do 10 years ago.

Vigilante 23 Posted May 23, 2013 I'm on stellers list for the nova fox, I just found some nos front & rear you g shocks for it too, hope they will fit the re-re.. They will fit but they are a crap shock. Put HPI shocks or some 80mm after market ones on. YouG ones way too bouncy no matter how you set them up. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Thanks for the info mate, but i like the old school feel with period correct hopups experiencing with what I could'nt afford as a kid... If its bouncy adds to the excitement... I'm not a fan of mixing new school with old school.. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1526 Posted October 31, 2013 Bump! The annual November Tamiya Fair should take place in a few week's time, and no doubt there will be early snippets on Tamiyablog soon. So what, if anything, is coming? The 959 has to be the next big skittle to drop but will they do it? Or will the old tobacco livery be an obstacle? And what about that Bigwig rumour from earlier this year? I guess we will find out one way or another if it was true. Mountaineer? Astute? Or maybe this time the Monster Beetle will finally return? The Egress isn't even in the post yet but it is time to start speculating again folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sumimasen 24 Posted October 31, 2013 I'm really hoping for a Top Force Evo, but hopefully it will be far enough away to let my wallet recover after the Egress! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percymon 2184 Posted October 31, 2013 Retail prices for the Bruiser have been falling over last 6 months so I doubt there will be much push for the mountaineer. Bigwig maybe, Boomerang re-re long sold out so another model to sell alongside remaining hotshot and super hotshots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IBIFTKH 1369 Posted October 31, 2013 Seeing the popularity in Japan of the WR02 and the various new models on that chassis, I keep hoping for a Willy's Wheeler. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1498 Posted October 31, 2013 Nothing !! That's what happened last year . The Egress is coming & that is all that will be this year . I need to buy some Egress B4 any thing else .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1526 Posted October 31, 2013 Retail prices for the Bruiser have been falling over last 6 months so I doubt there will be much push for the mountaineer. Wouldn't that be a good reason for getting the Mountaineer out now? The Bruiser has peaked in terms of demand and now they have to squeeze more revenue out of the chassis?

MadInventor 3884 Posted October 31, 2013 Wouldn't that be a good reason for getting the Mountaineer out now? The Bruiser has peaked in terms of demand and now they have to squeeze more revenue out of the chassis? I'm wondering when they'll start putting that epicyclic gearbox in their 3 speed 1/14 trucks, or maybe another budget 4x4 like the hi-lift was. I can't see them designing a whole new gearbox just for one model....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see them designing a whole new gearbox just for one model....... I agree, although I think they are simply more likely to re-release the other three original metal 3 speeds with the new transmission shoehorned in, and then place it in an all new designed kit.

Champ85 608 Posted November 2, 2013 I have a strong feeling the Astute and/or Madcap will be coming. Probably not this year though. Just a gut feeling. Unfortunately I doubt the HiLux will be re-done, as much as I wish they would. It is, by far, my most favorite model ever since I first saw it in the catalog when I was young. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted November 2, 2013 Only the re release Blazer interests me. Nothing current or existing re-releases, that I have not bought, interest me. I don't mind the Blazer re release in 2015 or late in 2014, which will give me time to top up the funds again . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
