Garry Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Translated - With the Desert Fielder Tamiya presents a new truck based on the well known TA-02T chassis. The 1:10 scale truck is held by a cardan all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires and oil pressure shock absorbers. The kit will be available from September 2012.

Tug Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm sorry, but that just looks Sooo toy grade, yuk. HIDEOUS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djyjrlz Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm sorry, but that just looks Sooo toy grade, yuk. HIDEOUS! they run alright, and actually look more scale than most of the other sc trucks about. the older ones also looked wway better in person, as they are 1/10 scale sedan sized and are generally proportioned correctly.

Garry Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 The black plastic parts from the Tamiya DF01 Cayenne will fit. http://www.tamiya.co...nne_s/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 apart from the front body mount, its identical to the tamiya hummer too. oooh, maybe a hummer re-re next??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louder Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I quite like it, I would take a guess that it would be a rather nice little rally platform. Not sure if I would buy it but it looks very scale with the body on imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Looks very Tamiya The chassis would look better in a less garish colour for me .... but that's personal taste. All Tamiya's seem to look 'plasticky' and almost toylike under the shell, but they have stood the test of time and are still very popular. I think the underlying design work is done well, and the produiction values are typically Japanese. The thing i don;t get about this one is why the rear diff is a ball diff, and the front is a gear diff.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 So it can be tightened with a turn of a screw to alter the amount of drive in a matter of seconds, without having to strip the car down, clean out the diff, repack with thicker grease etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyleftthumb Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 its an awesome chassis which will lend its hand to rally chassi, drifters. tarmac racing, i like it as its very versatile, and parts are dirt cheap too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
