InsaneJim69 1584 Posted April 18, 2016 Only 2 that would even remotely get me excited is The Astute or Super Astute. James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted April 18, 2016 Super Astute. The Astute had too many problems. Max 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted April 18, 2016 The best would be the Super Astute Evolution: Super Astute chassis and body Dyna Storm geartrain New short battery position Carbon plates all around. Hi Cap Dampers TR15-T grey parts all around. Max 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted April 26, 2016 Found this image online when googling tamiya re releases 2016... Now that would be nice! Don't know why it says 2015, fan made? This would give the Willy guys their tyres and pave the way for the Hilux Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badboy 94 Posted April 26, 2016 First: The name on the side says Blazing Blazer!!! WRONG! Second: The Old Gearbox! WRONG (Tamiya made a new gearbox for Bruicer/Mountaineer and would use it for this if released) Third: NO re-re offroader has original sponsor decals, all has Tamiya madeup sponsor decals Obvious fake, to bad...

Nitomor 2122 Posted April 26, 2016 Haha...just fanning the flames... Yes it's clearly fake but who made it and why I wonder...possible leak? Don't forget the 3 step servo operated speed control too. I clocked the sponsor decals, but didn't clock the "Blizer" lol even though its staring me in the face! It would be great if it were released on the old box, to provide spares for originals and also if they retained the lockable/freewheeling hubs. I Wonder what they would do with the speed controller in a Hilux. On the Blazer I guess it would be ESC. I so hope it happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWINSET 1793 Posted April 26, 2016 Here's the start of the 'Blizer' http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/74841-blazing-blazer-will-not-be-reissuesd-confirmed/&do=findComment&comment=565185 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks Twinset, an amusing thread lol! I won't get too excited about this then Lol, others might be quite happy to see a DT02 Blazer if it had the Blazer tyres!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XV Pilot 1936 Posted April 28, 2016 Ha ha. The only things missing from that pic are the holes in the bonnet for the DT-02 front shock tower... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted May 5, 2016 1 week to go now. I didn't appreciate that not only is it 40 years of RC cars, it is also Tamiya's 70th year anniversary so I'm expecting some good stuff from them!! The Anniversary stuff seems bizarre. The Hornet black had a sticker saying 40th Anniversary, harking back to the first RC Tamiya made, which was a tank in 1974. First RC car was 1976. Inception was in May 1946, so Shizuoka 2016 in May, is exactly 70 years! Edit: & 30 years of the Big Wig, & 35 for the Hilux 4x4...anymore? lol! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percymon 2184 Posted May 5, 2016 Don't forget Tamiya have a huge range of static kits too, I dare say they work on releases and re-releases of those as well as our beloved RC ! Sitting here impatiently tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be their most earth shattering re-release that they could announce. I can't believe we have just over a week to go and there has been so little announced. Not even a peep about the Blackfoot. Very odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitomor 2122 Posted May 5, 2016 I'm going on the no news is good news theory...being this secretive i'm hoping means we have some gems to look forward to!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XV Pilot 1936 Posted May 6, 2016 Could mean one of two things - either the release is so big and impressive that everyone "in the know" has been sworn to absolute secrecy upon penalty of ritual disembowelment, or Tamiya have decided to ignore their relatively small RC fanbase and are going to release something to appeal to one of their larger markets. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
