Tamiya 1/10 RC Boomerang 4WD (2008) RC Buggy Kit
The Boomerang is a re-release of a classic Tamiya off-road buggy. Tamiya designers have given this re-release kit a makeover replacing older, harder to assemble parts with modern equivalents, but still keeping true to the spirit of the original Boomerang.
The combination of these new improvements such as the more efficient gear box, drive shafts and axle joints along with the new placement of the drive shaft, gives the Boomerang improved steering control and helps to minimize the effects of abrupt shocks. The kit also comes with a chassis cover to prevent dirt and debris from interfering with operations. Take this updated Boomerang out for a spin and relive your childhood!
