Product: The Bigwig (2017)

Tamiya is delighted to announce the comeback of a classic – The Bigwig (original Item 58057), which was a 4WD buggy released back in 1986 to commemorate 10 years of Tamiya R/C models and was the first Tamiya car with a body penned by an outside designer: Japanese full size race car designer and team owner Takuya Yura. This re-release version is based closely upon the original, with some tweaks to bring it up to date.
