The Bigwig Kit Tamiya 47330

The Bigwig is back! This is the 2017 version of the shaft-driven 4WD buggy, released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Tamiya R/C models in 1986. It features several improvements while largely retaining the classic design of the original. The bodywork is the one designed for the 1986 Bigwig by renowned Japanese designer Takuya Yura, still a classic today, and features advanced aerodynamics. The updated markings retain the spirit of the original Bigwig and include the Mooncraft logo of Yura's design company.
