Need help identifying this Tamiya car please.....

[andrew.wirral 1]

Can anyone help me identify this car we found in the loft. I have installed an ESC and new battery and it works fine, but I need to get a few parts for it. Knowing what model it is would be a great help.

Thanks in advance

I reckon that’s a bigwig! Re-release kit number is  47330, manual is here https://www.tamiya.com/english/rc/rcmanual/47330.pdf

That looks very much like the remains of a BigWig. Came out in the mid eighties. It was unique for having rack and pinion steering

As a relatively recent re-release and sharing lots of parts with the hotshot and boomerang, parts are readily available 👍

Definitely needs a new drive shaft and shell for a start, by the looks of things!
