Impressions, slow, heavy, badly balanced, over built/designed yet still weak.

Sounds crap

But she is great fun to drive and with a 23 RZ motor gets around the track no worries. In fact its far more fun to drive then a modern car with a similar motor, Though ones you get into anything faster there is no comparison.

My oldest son (4.5 years) has claimed it has his own, And out of my 7 Off road rc cars its the only one that has taken his fancy and that he will drive until the battery runs out.Normally he gets distracted after a few minutes and just ditches the transmitter....

Metla, awesome little blog of the Boomerang. The body on the Boomerang is really growing on me...

Do any of you take these vintage re-re Tamiya to the track at all? Are these re-re tough enough to handle the crazy motorcross-style tracks that we have in the US?
