OldSchoolRunner 116 Posted January 31, 2013 Here is a tour of Tamiya booth at this years Numerberg Fair 2013 for those of us that couldn't make it. Unless the person that created the video left out a couple displays it looks like the re-re's might have taken a back seat this year. Oh well there is always next year.

Wandy 1527 Posted January 31, 2013 The Group 2 Golf looks superb. I reckon this one is going to be a smash hit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theibault 1535 Posted January 31, 2013 Was that an Astute I saw at the end of the video. And a Dynastorm and Terra Conqueror. Sadly all mini 4wds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.T. 127 Posted February 1, 2013 Ugg.... the Farm King has odd wheel patterns, TLT round holes at the front and Twin Det twisties at the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TWINSET 1793 Posted February 1, 2013 Ugg.... the Farm King has odd wheel patterns, TLT round holes at the front and Twin Det twisties at the back. Pessimism finally pays off; They are TLT style front wheels, the tyres' inner sidewall is thinner than the outer. The 2WD hex conversion's not that hard to implement, most of the modern 2WD 'touring' cars have undriven wheels running hexes Be interesting to see if the front and rear wheel patterns match though - the TLT has round holes whereas the Twin Det (et al) wheel has offset spokes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.M.T. 127 Posted February 1, 2013 I was trying to find that post of yours, to quote and confirm. That is just plain cheap and lazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TWINSET 1793 Posted February 1, 2013 What were they think? IMO that is the stupidiest Tamiya RC that I have ever seen. OSR Yeah, cos a Jeep (or a VW Bus for that matter) that pulls wheelies is much less stupid It's a bit of fun and adds variety to the WW line-up The only thing I don't like is having Brokeback driving instead of Willy Perhaps they were trying to avoid any 'Ploughed by Willy' references 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.M.T. 127 Posted February 1, 2013 And "ploughed by Brokeback" is better in some way? Brokeback riding a big green plastic willy... Nothing wrong with that at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skottoman 306 Posted February 1, 2013 I like the Farm King, and see some fun possibilities with it! I don't care about the wheel differences... Not that I need or want one, but the entry level Nitro is interesting... somewhere between an TG10 mk.1 and mk.2? Is nitro making a comeback? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdlb23 14 Posted February 2, 2013 I saw that Golf body and I thought, why oh why put a FWD car on a RWD chassis Tamiya?!?! But then I looked it up and tons of Golf race cars were converted to RWD. Excellent body choice Tamiya!! Thanks for posting this video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
