Great Tamiya rendition of the California desert racer. All components, i.e., body shell with accessories, easy to configure chassis tub with all quality components. All decals applied. Top notch, as good as it gets!!

This kit is a fun build, relatively simple and is a sheer joy to drive! Its a beetle body on a stadium truck chassis. Handling is well rounded for on road and offroad. As with any kit you build, pickup a set of bearings and a set of oil dampened shocks for even better performance. The decals on this kit should be put on with the aid of a heat gun to help them mould around the body better. They do become brittle with time and tend to chip off. I had mine as one of my main runners for over 4 yrs now! As far as durability goes, the body is pretty tough for only having 3 mounting points. The first part you will probably break is the nose. The nose on mine has been broken more times than Rocky Balboa's and is now a piece of the past. The gear box seems to handle a Castle 4600kv motor well on a 5A nimh battery. The tires are ok for most terrain, but will NOT last long on pavement; especially the rear. Overall, this kit captures the feel of a classic stadium truck with a very attractive look and color scheme that will stand out wherever you take this classic! Happy building!Read full review

With a 3700 brushless motor this thing is a beast. Wheelies on command. What a excellent car
