Tamiya's new 3 spd, 4x4x4

[NCNitro]

This is by far the most scale r/c truck I have seen. I think I like this one more than the Bruiser. I may have to get one of these, I just love the realism of it.

That is AWESOME that they are doing that again. Didnt they have a Vintage 4x4 that is worth thousands now?

what the hell is a 4x4x4 anyway. 4x4 I understand, what is the third 4 for?

 

[NCNitro]

The extra 4 is for 4 Wheel Steering

The vintage 3 spds are the Bruiser, Mountineer, and HiLux I believe. I guess the Bruiser is the most desireable. NIB ones sell for about $2500.

That is SWEET! I am sure vintage Bruiser sales will plummet when it is released.

I am guessing the additional 4 is for 4 wheel steering?

 

[dannyd]

that look awsome. i might have toget one. I'm loving the solid axles, perfect to make a scale crawler.

how much do you think it will cost?

 

[NCNitro]

I'm guessing about $350-400, but thats just a guess.

There is also a Blazing Blazer, it's harder to find but the Bruiser will still bring more $$$

NC, I also rather this over any of the other 3 speeds. Danny this rig won't be cheap, back in the 80's the Bruiser Kits (no electronics) sold for around $300-400 and I'm sure this will be at least that much.

3-400 in the 80's would be like 1k today.

damn i didnt even know Bruisers came out in the 80's. the site said it was coming out late summer of this year. i have a position waiting for me at home depot for when i turn 18 ( july 11). hopefuly i have enough money left over from paying for school to get one.

The Ford F350 High-Lift is coming out this summer, the Bruiser has been disco=ntinued for a long time.

Good luck on the job at HD

What? Has the value of the dollar changed that much?

Also, the link doesn't work... And seaches for "High-lift" and product number 58372 doesn't do any good. And I looked around in the 'Comming soon' has no such thing. I want to see.

I wonder what happened to the link? I can't find it on the site anymore either??? :shrug:

same here. maybe it wasn't supposed to be put up.

 

[NCNitro]

I spent at least an hour going through the Tamiya site, and it's as though it never existed.

 

[vbgagnon]

I don't know what you guys are talking about, the link works for me.



:jk:

 

[NCNitro]

Looks like Tamiya put the link back up.

The more I look at this thing the more I want to get one.

[SMaxxin]

Did anyone hear about a release date for it?

 

[robmob]

Available for pre-order at Tower for $429.99.

It states RTR. I thought it would be a kit.

 

[SMaxxin]

The title says RTR but the description says it requires radio, esc and servos? It also says it come with a clear body, I was hoping for a hard body.
