Tamiya F350 Hi Lift 4X4X4--Bruiser reborn?

PeterV · #1 04-17-2006, 08:35 PM

Latest from www.tamiyausa.com. Not really a Bruiser, but it certainly captures some of that famous scale four-wheeler's spirit. Be sure to go here for Tamiya's gallery of pics! http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=58372

One of the most representative American pickup trucks, the Ford F350, is now available as an electric R/C assembly kit. Precision molding has given us a truly accurate reproduction of the truck’s imposing, dominant form. Front grille and bumper are made of metal-plated parts for flashy and stylish look. Chassis features ladder frame with leaf rigid suspension. Loads of metal parts are appropriate for this heavy-duty truck. 3-step transmission enables gear changing even while running for realistic and satisfying R/C action.

About the Model
Includes slipper clutch as standard part to protect gears during tough off-road running.
Full-time 4WD system guarantees excellent driving performance.
F/R leaf-rigid suspension can deal with anything the road throws at it.
May be used with separately sold Multifunctional Control Unit (planned for release in late summer 2006)

sorry for posting the new info in the general forum....couldn't send an e-mail. I can't wait untill this one comes out

jchung · #7 04-17-2006, 09:37 PM

Very nice. I wish its summer already, lol.

jchung · #10 04-17-2006, 10:22 PM

Hey 4wdmt, check your email.

SS Pede · #11 04-17-2006, 10:56 PM

Oh MAN!!

I have been wanting a scale 4x4 for a while. Except for those crazy european trials trucks, the Tamiya Race Touareg was looking like the best scale ride for me (if I ever get around to buying one

). Now this one is looking pretty sweet as well!! Choices, choices.

I'm gonna put another one of these on here for good measure:

I wish Tamiya bring the "Bruiser" back instead of creating this new truck with a lot of plastic...

MrCrash · #13 04-17-2006, 11:30 PM

This will have to hold me over until I can afford the real thing

shadowghost1 · #14 04-17-2006, 11:49 PM

I wonder what scale it is? I hope its 1/10th.

Kmot · #15 04-18-2006, 12:20 AM

That is going to be a new collectible.

I think it is awesome. I will have to have one for sure. And, it will have a multiu-function unit like the big rigs. Probably will be mind blowing!

minijosh · #16 04-18-2006, 12:40 AM

Why a Ford??? My only question hehe.

4wdmt · #17 04-18-2006, 12:59 AM

I guess they (Tamiya) still have sooo many of that in their warehouse, lol. Long live the Jugg bodies.

iluvmud · #18 04-18-2006, 01:02 AM

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! what this does is bring down the price, and make the body parts more available for my JUGGY's....sweetness....lol

i still might have to buy one though....

suckfish · #19 04-18-2006, 06:26 AM

This hobby just keeps getting better... I still want them to bring back the Monster Beetle

jocktheglide165 · #20 04-18-2006, 07:31 AM

wish I could back order at tower I do it now...

Hard Core RC Guy · #21 04-18-2006, 12:47 PM

Looks more like a TXT design. Not the original diecast tranny. But still true to scale form. It's a new class of realistic 4wd. This is screaming Rock crawler!!

The axles look like the tlt-1/big rigs ones

Platymeris · #23 04-18-2006, 02:13 PM

That's awesome, I would have loved metal, scale looking axles though.

jocktheglide165 · #24 04-18-2006, 03:17 PM

cant wait till towerhobbies gets them in.

RichieRich · #25 04-18-2006, 03:40 PM
