From Tamiya: A bootlace tie that can be used for formal wear or casual occasions. This string-shaped necktie, also known as “polar tie”, “polo tie”, or “rope tie”, will be added to Tamiya’s original goods. Until now, the image of loop ties was strong for seniors, but it is a fashion item that can be […]
The late-’80s family of Tamiya Avante-based vehicles are some of our all-time favorite RC off-road buggies. The legendary buggy line began in 1988 with the launch of Avante, which was followed up later the same year with Vanquish (re-released in 2020 by Tamiya as the VQS), continued in 1989 with the Egress, and culminated in […]
Let’s take it back to last November—I planned to attend the Ultimate Scale Truck Expo (USTE) in February and found out that there was going to be a vintage RC race at the event. This race was just the excuse I needed to finally pull the trigger on a Tamiya Sand Scorcher. I found out […]

#TBT The December 1998 issue of RC Car Action magazine featured this review of the Tamiya Ford F-150 SVT Lightning truck. It featured an upside-down steering servo, a quick release battery tray for stick packs that was mounted sideways across the middle of the chassis, and it used a shaft drive which was a very […]
Those familiar with Tamiya’s GF-01 wheelie-happy, four-wheel-drive chassis will tell you that it’s a really fun and sometimes silly vehicle to drive. Combining the GF-01 chassis with the classic looks of the iconic Toyota Land Cruiser 40 (FJ40) makes it a combo that is really hard to top. We at RCCA love to customize our […]
From Tamiya: This is a re-released version of Item 58050, the classic Tamiya 2WD R/C buggy which was originally released in 1985.
