Well for nostalgic purposes it's great that they are releasing it.... Maybe a new generation of kids will get a taste of what it was like when some of us had it back in the 80's! I'm sure collectors will jump on it as well!


Yeah, it's too bad Tamiya just won't commit to designing and producing a top class 2WD or 4WD Off-Roader. I know less cash is made in the racing market as compared to the entry level/basher market.... but Tamiya has more resources than most R/C companies put together! You would think they would want to be competetive in Off-Road the way they are in On-Road! Off-Road is what got them there and really put them on the R/C map! They could even hire some of the Best racers in the world if they chose to!


I guess they are content with producing entry level mediocre Off-Roaders... and revived display queens for some of us.....
