The
Tamiya Wrangler is an even impressive model, like the whole
Cross Country (XC) series. A quite realistic chassis, with
independent suspension in the front and a rigid axle in the
rear. These cars look like the little brothers of the large
Kyosho 1:9 EP/GP models.
I
bought this Wrangler, as it is, on eBay. Like many classic
models, a Wrangler good in shape (and this one is mint) won't
drop in the price. A fact that I had to find out too, but
I guess the model is worth its price.
Since
this car is a single piece in my collection, I don't dare
running it.
My son received a Pajero, that I bought used, as a X-mas gift.
We both did some driving to test its performance.
It's
a pity, that Tamiya cut down production at the XC-series too.
In my eyes a incomprehensable decision. Since especially the
Jeep is a real feast for the eyes.
