From April 3rd 1999 of this never to be released buggy. Thanks to Luke for these.
I wonder if this has just now resurfaced as the Tourag with a new body?
[Wouldn't normally add stock photos like this - but this was an obvious gap in our picture database and this was the easiest way of filling it]

That is a far better looking shell than the Tourag!!! WHY OH WHY did they cancel this one......ARRGHH!! I like the wheels too.

If you ask me, it's the Stadium Raider with a different body, note the TL-01 style bumper under the body, and the wheels and tires.

It must have been cancelled due to a licencing despute as is so often the case :S why did they not just restyle the body a bit and give it a different name and then relase it to fill in the gap? oh well at least it has the 58306 Neo Shot for company now (sniff)

I'd agree with Sjoerd in saying it's TL-01. I'm personally glad they didn't make it as it looks no where near as cool as a real one. It seems as if it was modeled by someone who had seen a blurry picture of one in a pitch black room a couple of years previous to designing this, lol.

Tamiya would'nt know a 'good thing' if it came up and slapped em in the face!

it def has the baja tyres, i agree, its a tl01b....well cool to look @ tho....i love it

l think Tamiya would and do and this isn't one of them. It would also have limited sales dur to its awful looks. l may be a French car fancier but this would not be on my 'want' list.

Sure would look nice on a carbon fiber chassis with long stroke suspension. Nice lines and great possibilities, but i would like to see it like the Lancia re-release on a real rally chassis and not a touring car chassis.

Only a mother could love that face!

Nowt wrong with the body - it's the wheel tyre combo that doesn't work for me.
looks like ta01 bumpers but they probaly would have put it on the hummer chassis or the xc
