The Tamiya TT-02B chassis is a variant of the innovative TT-02 on-road 4WD chassis. This version features a pre-painted body in gun-metal. The Plasma Edge is the second model with this chassis configuration. With its simple assembly and maintenance-friendly solutions, the chassis is also suitable for beginners. The battery is placed longitudinally in the tub chassis, and the low-mounted RC components provide a low center of gravity. Independent suspension and double wishbones, oil-filled shock absorbers, all-wheel drive, and high-grip spiked tires offer excellent traction. The front and rear axles are equipped with sealed bevel gear differentials. The Type 540 RS Torque Tuned electric motor provides plenty of power for off-road conditions. With optional tuning parts, the chassis can be quickly upgraded to a race buggy. The underside of the chassis is designed to be extra smooth, and the battery compartment accommodates all common battery types. The robust polycarbonate body withstands harsh off-road conditions and is very lightweight.

5. Tamiya Dump truck Mercedes Benz Arocs
The Tamiya truck for tough construction site use. The Mercedes Benz Acros 4151 8x4 is a real heavyweight on the construction site. Tamiya has modified the proven chassis for this truck: The truck has 4 axles as in the original. The two rear axles are driven by a powerful 540 electric motor. The two front axles are steered by a servo (sold separately). The steering angle of the two axles is different, so that a true to original driving behavior is achieved. The frame has a subframe to accommodate the newly designed dump body. The dump body has been reinforced with a metal subframe and can be controlled by the optional Tamiya ACU-01 unit (56545). The distinctive design of the new Arocs is as extraordinary as the truck as a whole. For example, a radiator grille in the so-called digger's tooth look has been built into the look specially developed for construction vehicles, which is intended to convey the message: "bite through and grab hold". In keeping with the robust appearance, special protective grilles for the lighting system are fitted to the bumper.
The 667 mm long and around 4 kg heavy kit model can be used to put together impressive combinations. Under the forward tilting cab you will find the proven and robust Tamiya truck technology. A new Mighty-Tuned 35T electric motor delivers power to the two rear axles via a shiftable 3-speed gearbox. A detailed aluminium ladder frame gives the model the necessary stability and flexibility. A towing hitch (e.g. Carson 500907182) can be attached to the rear part of the frame to pull trailers. With the optionally available multifunction unit almost all sound and light functions of the prototype can be simulated deceptively real.
6. Tamiya Truck Scania 770 S
The Scania 770 S 6x4 is the spearhead in Scania's high-quality S-series, which underwent a complete model change in 2016. This towing vehicle features a chassis with double rear axle in 6x4 configuration, i.e. double rear axle drive. The truck is equipped with a 16.4-liter V8 diesel turbo engine with an output of 770 hp, the most powerful representative in the industry as of 2020.
7. Tamiya Sand Scorcher 2010
Tamiya has been known for over 30 years for recreating the most beautiful, fastest, and most popular cars as models. Thirty years ago, the legendary Tamiya Sand Scorcher in 1:10 scale was dedicated to the Volkswagen Beetle. In 2009, to celebrate the 30th anniversary, a Tamiya fan turned the tables and built a 1:1 scale replica of the Sand Scorcher. This unusual replica was showcased at the 2010 Toy Fair.
The anniversary model from Tamiya is offered as a kit, just like 30 years ago. The technical foundation corresponds to the original model, but there have been some updates for the Sand Scorcher 2010, such as new wishbones, wheel carriers, and a modern electronic speed controller. Additional components have been reinforced to ensure contemporary stability for the 40 cm long model. Standard equipment includes a robust fiberglass chassis plate, a comprehensive set of ball bearings, a durable electric motor, and oil-filled shock absorbers. The design of the plastic body remains unchanged, which is sure to please not only nostalgia enthusiasts.
8. Tamiya Wild One
The Wild One is a very popular classic from the Tamiya RC program. This special version from Blockhead Motors comes with several extras: a light blue pre-painted body, chrome parts, window nets, plates at the rear with the starting number, and a dummy antenna. The design was created by Jun Watanabe, who markets his ideas under the Blockhead Motors brand. Required accessories: remote control with receiver, steering servo, 7.2V NiMH battery pack, charger, motor controller.

9. Tamiya Super Branch 2018 1:10

- 2.5 mm FRP chassis for a low center of gravity
- Revised battery holder (not suitable for cross-soldered battery packs, optimized for stick packs)

10. Tamiya Ford Bronco 2021
Ford Bronco 2021 (CC-02) Tamiya presents the CC-02 chassis (Cross Country) now in the version with a 2021 Ford Bronco body. The CC-02 chassis is inspired by real off-road vehicles and features a frame chassis, cone differentials front and rear, as well as a 4-link suspension. The solid axles at the front and rear make the model particularly capable off-road, and the 4 CVA oil-filled shock absorbers perfectly absorb any bumps. Power is provided by a strong 540 motor, which is mounted behind the front axle. This ensures good weight distribution when tackling rough terrain. Attached to the motor is the gearbox, which transmits power via movable drive shafts to the front and rear axles.
The body features the distinctive design of the modern Ford Bronco and is made of polycarbonate. Additionally, Tamiya has included separate attachment parts and a new roof rack. The light housings can be equipped with 5 mm LEDs - the lighting unit is included in the kit.
