Tamiya is a firm renowned for manufacturing excellent miniatures of vehicles. They are famous today for introducing the world to the sport of mini 4WD racing. However, what many people do not know, is that Tamiya also introduced the world to RC (remote controlled or radio controlled) cars. The Tamiya RC car line-up has a lot of models that demonstrate the fineness of the firm’s ability in model design.
These are some of the Tamiya RC model cars on the market today:
Nitro Crusher – This Tamiya RC car boasts of a mighty FS-15S engine that incorporates a large diameter slide carburetor to fulfill your requirement for speed. The engine also has a precision brake system that guarantees practical safety. This RC car can also fulfill your desire for power because it comes in the form of a monster truck.
You can drive through all types of terrain as easily as if you were driving on the roadway. This Tamiya RC car has various features that permit it to coast through different kinds of terrain. It has extra-large tires that are ideal for dealing with mud, sand and rocks. It also features a frontal impact control system that allows you to enjoy steady running no matter what obstacles you come across.
Mini cooper – If you do not know what a Mini Cooper is, imagine Mr. Bean’s much-loved car. This RC car is based on that small-but-awesome car of the 1960’s. The Mini Cooper is famous for its small size and mighty performance. In point, the Mini Cooper even raced tremendously well in competitions like the World Rally Championships.
This RC vehicle incorporates an M-03 chassis that is specially designed to be as fast as feasible. The double wishbone suspension also guarantees the steadiness and first-rate handling of the vehicle. This model is an electric RC car, which means that the batteries add a lot of weight. However, a hole cut into the chassis ensures that this RC model can still run very well despite its weight.
Subaru Impreza WRC Monte Carlo – This RC model is intended for the latest kind of racing. This Tamiya RC car is designed to drift. The chassis of this RC vehicle, the TT-01D, is built from lightweight materials and has been specifically constructed to have a low center of gravity. This means that this RC car will not roll over if you attempt to “drift” it.
What are the advantages of drift racing? Well, during normal bends, there is a tendency for vehicles to lose velocity. By drifting, the car can maintain the highest speed and precision control. Nevertheless, there is always the opportunity of something going wrong, which is the reason for Tamiya’s excellent engineering.
XBG Nitro Force – Capable of mind-boggling top speeds, this RC car is definitely a power to be reckoned with. Powered by a precision FR-S glow engine, this RC auto employs a recoil starter for clean starting every time. This Tamiya RC car also boasts of a strengthened resin frame chassis with a low center of gravity, making it extra stable during fast driving.
This Tamiya RC car also features a very aerodynamic frame, making sure that the flow of air will not adversely affect your desire for speed. All in all, if you want a Tamiya RC car that will satisfy your wish for speed and excitement, this is the vehicle that you should be getting.
