If the upcoming Hot Wheels Honda CR-X is too small for you, try this one on for size. Japanese hobby company Tamiya has released a radio control version of the Mugen CR-X Pro, the ne plus ultra of early 80s pocket rockets.
Not only does the kit look like a 1/10 scale reproduction of the real car, it’s got a independent coilover suspension and has a front wheel drive layout! For more information, watch the video below and check out the Tamiya website and Honda Japan website for more details.
There is also a 1/24 plastic model kit of this awesome machine.
that’s been out for a while. this has been out for about 4 months.. 😉
They just recently reissued the Mugen 1/24 kit, so it’s new again.
they’ve gone back recently and reissued, like, EVERYTHING.. it’s crazy. it’s like looking at my 1984 catalog all over again!
i want that, you can get a kit so it has all the lights work to. epic JDM nerdness
Tamiya also has the 1977 Group 5 Celica Turbo LB (Item # 58513). It runs on the 4WD TT-01 Type E entry level chassis.
For a lot of old school JDM cars, check out ABC Hobby USA (from Japan). I’ve got their 1600GT Celica (TA22) body on a RWD Goose chassis.
