The 5th release in the TamTech-Gear Series is based on Tamiya?s popular buggy, Desert Gator!

Adjustable slipper clutch and full ball bearings secure optimum transmission efficiency. Ball differential, rear-wheel drive train and universal drive shafts included as standard parts mean that the TamTech-Gear Desert Gator is much more than just your average mini-R/C car.

Just now saw this, actually looks pretty cool. What scale is this, supposedly? Just 1/18? Actually looks really good, how the RC18B should have looked :D.

I wish Tamiya would do one of the Falcon. So I can have one to go along with the 1/10 Falcon.

There's not much difference between the 1/16 and 1/18 mini's. All I was saying, "Is I wish they would make one of the Falcon."

Tamiya state there is NO SCALE - just to save argument.
