|  tamiya toyota tundra prototype
Just a few minutes ago here at the 2008 Tamiya TCS Finals, the Tamiya crew announced their new Tamiya Thundra. It is a working prototype but they didn't bring the radio. Rubber mirrors, vibrating tail pipes, 3-channel radio required for acceleration/shifting/steering, the flatbed pops up, it is incredibly heavy, and more.   pulled from the rc zone web site Last edited by TwistedXT; 08-25-2008 at 07:40 AM. |

I was so afraid that Tamiya was gonna end the life of the High Lift chassis with the Hilux so the Tundra is a nice addition to the range. ....and keep'em coming! Last edited by GreatDane; 08-24-2008 at 12:50 PM. |

1bjb wasn't lyin when he commented in the rc4wd section. Looks like i know what my next build will be. Also, really like how this one actually sits scale from the factory, the hilux looks silly with the BL. |

That body looks sweet!  Too bad Tamiya hasn't been able to make a chassis that would compliment the incredible "scale" factor of their bodies. IMO the High Lift chassis isn't nearly as capable as it should have been built from the start. The trans is huge and grabs every rock it can. The frame is overkill heavy and puts too much weight high up. Don't get me wrong, I really like my High Lift for what it is and I understand that recycling parts from other kits is the easiest way to make money but hopefully in time they will come out with a more capable platform for us to use. |
