Wow. For that price though....

And they were smart with the decals, easy enough to cut them and change the order of them.

According to the Taiwan rc forum’s information. This China Toyata is 100% replicate the Original Tamiya mountaineer. So, parts are should be compatible with Tamiya.

This replica has ton of parts in China.

The above pictures were taken in 2018 Beijing RC Toy Expo

"Some say Toyota, some say Toyato.."

For that price, I'm thinking of snatching up a couple of them.

[TooOldForThis]

I just realized that's an RTR. In that case, how about a kit version with no electrics for less than $200 USD? Take my money!!!

[smokee]

I always wanted one of these. Looks cool.

[crashlot2]

it a copy of the re-release, new axles and trans .

[soze]

I paid a relatively hefty price for the re-release. Might have to look into these for custom work. I wonder how the quality of the parts are compared to the original.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I won’t hack up my rere but this on the other hand....

Nice find! Somebody buy one and let us know about the quality.

Does Taobao sell to the US?

Does someone have a link to buy one, I might bite!

I personally dont find it that funny, "someone in japan" as in a full team, put allot of passion and probably thousands of hours in designing work, making molds / metal stamping for the original kit. Setting up the packaging just in box art and advertising alone costs hundreds of thousands to do correctly back then.

Coping a small rc dosent seem like a big deal, till your flying home from your vacation in a knock off Airbus and crash in flames.

I have the link, but sadly Chinese only. My apologies here. Hopefully these can be found on international store soon.

Thanks! What is the link to the international store? Like I said before, I can't find a way to translate Taobao to English.

It took China long to duplicate this one. I guess the demand wasn't strong enough or they weren't aware of it back in the day when everybody on here was clamoring for a Bruiser re-release and/or hunting to find an OG Bruiser for a leaf spring build.
