Tamiya Nuremberg Toy Fair Sneak Peeks – 6 New Rides

Tamiya Nuremburg Toy Fair Sneak Peeks - 6 New Rides

Tamiya will be debuting six new vehicles at the 2017 Nuremburg Toy Fair in Germany; the Racing Fighter Chrome Edition, Top Force, Mercedes Benz Arocs 6×4, Grasshopper II and Ferrari F12tdf.

Tamiya Racing Fighter Chrome Metallic Limited Edition
The Racing Fighter is a kit that is based on the DT-03 chassis. It features CVA dampers, chrome-plated wheels, a sealed gearbox and includes Tamiya’s TBLE-02 ESC and brushed motor. The body is coated in a chrome-metallic plating and is pre-cut.

Tamiya Top Force Limited Edition
The Top Force is a limited edition re-issue, still with 4WD and distinct TP body and wing. It features a double-deck FRP chassis, white nylon star dish wheels, front and rear ball diffs and a 540 brushed motor. The biggest different, albeit a minor one, is the addition of spiked tires!

Tamiya Mercedes Benz Arocs 3363 6×4 Classic Space
Next up is this 1:14 scale Mercedes Benz tractor truck. It’s a 3-axle rig with a ladder frame, resin cross members and a 3-speed transmission. The body is super realistic and even comes with a working coupler to connect to any of the current crop of 1:14 scale trailers!

Tamiya Team Reinert Racing MAN TGS
Hot on the heals of the Team HAHN MAN TGS, Tamiya has released a second livery with the Team Reinert RACING rig. It’s still based on the TT-01 Type-E chassis and includes a TBLE-02S ESC and Torque-Tuned 540 motor. The TGS is compatible with a wide range of TT-01 tuning parts.

Tamiya The Grasshopper II
It’s back – the Grasshopper II! The re-release features an ABS resin bathtub chassis, resin body and driver figure. It also includes a Tamiya TBLE-02S ESC and 380-type motor. A fully-enclosed rear gearbox provides smooth racing action.

Tamiya Ferrari F12tdf
Mounted on the TT-02 chassis, the Ferrari F12tdf (Tour de France) is a sleek and sexy road racer that features silver 10-spoke wheels, a Tamiya TBLE-02 S ESC and a brushed motor. The body comes clear but includes separately-molded ABS plastic parts to finish off the fantastic look.
