DESCRIPTION
Released in July 1986, on the 10th anniversary of Tamiya's first RC, the Bigwig was a landmark in the development of Tamiya RC racing cars and remains highly prized as a collectors' car for its unique design. This was the first Tamiya car with a body penned by an outside designer: Japanese full size race car designer and team owner Takuya Yura. This re-release version is based closely upon the original, with some tweaks to bring it up to date. This unique car featured a rack and pinion steering system and distinctive Moon Dish wheels. The body styling was innovative, and as all Tamiya kits were, easy to build and good value for money.

• This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 390mm, width: 234mm, height: 163mm.
• Aerodynamic body is lightweight and durable polycarbonate. Engine and exhausts are depicted by chassis parts.
• Utilizes a sturdy ABS resin bathtub-type chassis.
• Shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain for excellent stability off-road, with full ball bearings ensuring minimal power loss.
• 4-wheel double wishbone suspension with CVA oil dampers lets the car tackle bumpy surfaces.
• Rack and pinion steering (unique to this Tamiya model) gives excellent driving feel. Boots cover the steering tie-rods, and anti-wear grease is included in the kit to seal the mechanism from dirt and gravel.
• "Aerodish" 1-piece wheels are combined with oval block pattern tires for superior grip.
• Stickers have been redesigned while keeping to the overall theme of the original.
• Includes a GT-Tuned motor (25T) with sticker unique to this model.
• ESCs 22mm and lower in height can be fitted in the kit standard position.

Reading the description, it looks good.
Can't find any logic errors one would expect if it was a hoax.

The pictures of the model is not of the re-release, obviously, they are from IconicRC.

Although they may get a bit of a hand slap for breaking the news early, These guys are a reputable hobby store here

Nice rere but USD 300 looks expensive. Compared to a monster beetle rere. That's a full plastic RC not a egress or same the "new TA02" with FRP chassis...

It's and Australian store So it's only USD$230

Not bad, but I'd preferred the Super Sabre as a re-release.
