In 1976, Tamiya entered the RC market with their first RC model, the Porsche 934 Turbo RSR Now, having just passed the 30th Anniversary of the first Tamiya RC model, they are sold in markets both within the country and worldwide. Cultivating skill by all the RC cars they had made until now, they decided to revive the experience in a limited release of models to commemorate their 30 years in the RC business.
Many parents will remember some of these famous Tamiya names! Just like the years Tamiya has moved forward, the cars have been updated and upgraded, so these classics are better than ever!
The cars are still available in the traditional kit format, which need a radio control set, batteries, charger and paint to complete. To make things easy we offer a number of deals, including these as a complete bundle.
Tamiya now offer a number of their cars in ready-to-go format. XB stands for eXpert Built. They're just the same as the kits but supplied fully factory assembled complete with radio installed and transmitter handset. These are ideal gifts for birthdays and Christmas.
