Tamiya is Re-releasing the Bruiser!
 

That cat has already be let out of bag by sites like Tamiyablog.com, but I can now confirm that it is in fact the Bruiser that is getting released very soon. It will have some updates.
*This is a 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit.
*Kit includes FREE BONUS PARTS (Cleaning Brush x1) which are for EXPORT ONLY and are subject to the FIRST PRODUCTION.
* Bonus cleaning brush features 2 types of bristles and an ergonomic handle. (Brush will not be available for purchase as a separate item). The form of the Bruiser, including the sleeper cab, has been reproduced with a durable injection-molded body.
* Metal ladder frame chassis keeps the original layout and features a black-finished surface.
* Newly-designed die-cast transmission is equipped with planetary gears for optimized gear ratio.
* Refined clutch mechanisms offer smooth gear changes and superb durability. 3 gears are possible (1st gear=4WD, 2nd & 3rd gears=Rear Wheel Drive).
* Newly-designed front/rear axle housings are equipped with differential, which may be locked for even greater off-road performance.
* Separately available LEDs can be installed in the light cases to depict realistic head and tail lights.
* Type 540 motor included.

I can also confirm that this is expected to his the U.S. in March, as for the price; I don't have any information on that right now.

MSRP is $1,295.00

Sounds interesting, I'm hoping....

I will be able to share the news on February 1st, so you won't have to wait long!

I hope it is bruiser time. !!!

Seriously i cannot take this kind of thing, i have been driving round at work looking every five mins on the net for some info. roll on the first of feb.^_^

It's peanut butter jelly time!

Tom, remember the last time Tamiya said it had a big announcement, it was a change to their website. Just thought I'd level ya out some, big news doesn't always mean awesome news!^_^

Thanks that was the slap i needed, you are right it could be a new pot plant in main reception.(i'm still crossing everything) ;)

They are comming out with the new highlift wheely monster beetle bruiser!!!!! All jokin' aside I'm crossin my finners for a new bruiser.

Cc-02?!?!?

I'll say this, it's a bit more significant than a website update!

killing me, just the though of having another bruiser,...MAN,.....

Lets start guessing. A dual brushless clod with txt frame and some trf shocks. or and lets top it with a beetle body for a Super Monster Beetle :)

That would be sweet I'd buy it. I'm a :crazy: beetle fan.

There looking to have a better image so there laying off all there child and elderly workers. As a result all things tamiya will cost 5 time as much.
