Welcome to this detailed unboxing and chat about the re-released Tamiya Subaru Brat RC car on the legendary Tamiya ORV (Off Road Vehicle) chassis! Joining me on the camera is Rob of Rob Brennan RC, thanks for the help, as always, my good friend! We try to give as much information as we can remember about this classic Tamiya RC kit, which, unusually, comes with both hard body (ABS) and Lexan (polycarbonate) clear body options and a bunch of upgrades over the original release of this RWD truck. We hope you enjoy the video!
Relive the '70s with this Classic Pick-Up
Tamiya first produced an R/C version of this popular little Subaru Brat truck back in 1983, and this version is an updated, improved re-release of this classic R/C truck. Aside from the upgraded internal parts, this assembly kit comes with a driver figure for a nostalgic feel. In addition, both a super-detailed resin body for shelf display and a lightweight durable polycarbonate body for racing are included.
2WD ORV Chassis Packed with Unique Features
The unique space frame chassis features 4-wheel independent suspension system with front double wishbones and rear trailing arms. The rear suspension in particular has been updated with aluminium diaphragm type oil dampers and coil springs. A Type 540 motor drives the differential-equipped gearbox, with the optional 3 different gear ratios and the drive shaft features a dog bone joint for optimum transmission efficiency. Block pattern tires mounted on the realistic 8-spoke wheels rounds out this stylish package.
