Saito2 6686 Posted November 2, 2019 Anyone up for some Tamiya trivia again? If you answer a trivia question, post another one and so forth. What was the first Tamiya off-road model to feature a differential? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember the Sand Rover kit containing a mount for mounting a 540 motor which the Holiday Buggy didn't have. Its not much, but it does point out a picture of the 540 motor listed as "optional" on the side of the box, just below a picture of the stock 380 motor listed as "included".

Its described as optional and they tend to use optional or tune up as a description. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saito2 6686 Posted November 2, 2019 You could also consider the Super Champ which pictured the "Buggy Sponge Tire" on the box side. The buggy sponge tire really was a hop-up of sorts as it was only sold as an additional part and not a spare borrowed from another model. Let's see...This Tamiya driver's name (example: Paranoid Perry on the Avante) is listed on two separate vehicles. Who is he and which two models is he featured on?

Saito2 6686 Posted November 3, 2019 Here's one. As any builder of a Lunch Box or Midnight Pumpkin (or likely any vehicle using that rear diff/axle assembly) will note, there is an extra gear left over in the the gear bag that isn't used. What vehicle did it come from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saito2 6686 Posted November 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Pablo68 said: annoying extra gear? The gearset on the Lunch Box originally came from the Wild Willy 1 which did use that gear. Tamiya never removed it from the mold for Lunch Box/Pumpkin, leaving those owners forever wondering what was up with that extra gear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
