Tamiya USA was on hand at the 2009 MSD R/C Scale Nationals last week to cover the event and give away a bunch of prizes to the winners. Check out the link below to see the over 200 photos they took. If you’re a fan of scale R/C trucks then this is a must see.

From what we’ve been reading on the various R/C forums out there it seems like this body is going to be a big hit with the scale rig builders. We’ve heard more than a few people say that they’d be willing to buy the CR01 kit just for this lid but thankfully Tamiya America recently informed us that the CR01 body will soon be available separately. It will only be available in clear, and will include decals, window masks, and molded chrome plated side mirrors and front grill. So what are you waiting for, get on the phone with your local hobby shop and pre-order one while you can!

Just as we look back at the Tamiya Bruiser with great fondness I think years from now we’ll also be looking back at the Tamiya F350 High Lift as a kit we all wish we could have had. Personally I’ve been wanting to build one of these from the second I laid eyes on one so when the opportunity came up for us to acquire a brand spanking new High Lift kit we just couldn’t let it slip away. So follow along with us as we build the Tamiya High Lift aka Project Three Speed with a little customizing along the way.

I guess it was inevitable. From the second I saw my first 1.9 scale crawler I knew I would eventually build one of my own, the only question was when.  Although I was apprehensive at the thought of cutting up our AX10 project truck, possibly ruining a good thing, with all of the aftermarket upgrades available for the truck I knew it would make the perfect platform for this project. Meet the latest iteration of Project Scorpion, Project Blazer?
