Default 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

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