The new Tamiya radio control Rock Socker is the latest addition to the Tamiya rock crawler line-up. It takes inspiration for its body design of rock crawling cars seen in real life, and is based upon the CR-01 chassis, a heavy-duty unit with a number of features that enable driving on extremely bumpy and uneven terrain.About the Model This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. The body of the car is based upon a Tamiya classic, the Stadium Blitzer, which has been modified, featuring an updated colour scheme and brand new marking stickers to herald the arrival of this fresh face. The shaft driven chassis features a compact planetary gearbox which transfers power to the wheels, and is small enough to enable a lower centre of gravity. The CR-01 chassis' supreme climbing ability stems from the rigid 4-link suspension with front/rear stabilizers. It is fitted with push rod-actuated oil dampers, with coil springs to act as tension springs. Front and rear 3-bevel differentials are lockable to provide even better traction off-road. Tyres with side tread patterns provide further-enhanced grip. Type 540 motor included. Electronic Speed Control not included. Wide Variety of Option Parts are separately available.
