58064 Toyota Celica 4WD
In 1987, Tamiya revisited what was to become of its most collectable models, the Porsche 959 and fitted a Toyota Celica Gr.B rally special body shell to it, at the same time making several changes to improve the durability and handling on the car too. The most important and notable changes being the addition of a front stabilizer bar and a centre ball differential. Both of these improved the handling incredibly making it feel like a totally different model to drive. Further improvements included much improved front suspension and a relocated speed control resistor too.
When originally launched the Tamiya 58064 Toyota Celica 4WD was an expensive & indeed a very complicated kit to build, becoming the preserve of only the more experienced modeller. Fitted with the now famous RX-540VZ Technigold motor, the Tamiya 58064 Toyota Celica performed well on and off road with a high top speed for a car of that time.
Parts are now very hard to find and a good example of this model will regularly achieve very high prices in auctions.

58063 Vanessa’s Lunch Box

58063 Tamiya Lunch Box
Tamiya’s 58063 Vanessa’s Lunch Box is one of my all time favourite Radio Controlled Cars by Tamiya. A unique twist on the monster truck theme, the Lunchbox has become one of Tamiyas best selling RC cars of all time too. The iconic yellow dodge van body shell coupled with those huge, oversized tyres makes the Lunch Box extremely attractive to all RC enthusiasts both young and old.
Originally released mid 1987, the 58063 Tamiya Lunch Box was and still is a very easy to build radio controlled car and was the first “proper” RC Car I ever owned. Strong yet simple ABS black plastic chassis with rear mounted, sealed gearbox with gear differential and standard 540 motor. Bouncy coil sprung shocks all round with independent wishbone suspension at the front make for a fun chassis to drive both on and off road.
The iconic body shell design is a detailed 1/12th scale representation of a real life Dodge van, constructed in strong white ABS plastic with chromed plastic side exhaust pipes, front grille and rear bumper. The shell is tougher than most ABS shells from Tamiya and can stand a lot of knocks and bumps making it perfectly suitable for recreational use in parks, back yards and on off road tracks too.
One thing we mustn’t forget with the Lunch Box is its built in capability to pull spectacular wheelies, with the built in rear wheelie bar keeping everything under control at the rear.
Original models are now quite collectable and hold their price well on Ebay etc. Only real weak points of this model are the body mounts which are known to be fragile. Replacement Aluminium Lunch Box Body Mounts can be found on Ebay quite regularly.

58062 Hot Shot II
Admin Tamiya RC Cars 1/10th scale, 4wd, 58062, cva shocks, hot shot, hot shot II, rc car, rcbuggy, tamiya, videos
The Tamiya Hot Shot II 58062 is essentially a re-working of the original 58047 Hotshot. The improvements made to the design are mostly simplifications to its construction and layout. These include:
- Simpler and much improved CVA long-travel shock absorbers with twin shocks at rear
- Improved chassis design with hatch allowing you to change the receiver crystal without major surgery
- The body shell also received some extra detailing
Please note the body shell for the Hot Shot II isn’t interchangeable with the original Hot Shot.

58061 Striker
Tamiya 58061 Striker RC Car
Strongly regarded by Tamiya collectors all over the world as one of Tamiya’s least accomplished models, the Striker is both unusual in looks and mechanical design. Although aimed at the cheaper end of the market and more specifically for beginners, the Tamiya 58061 Striker is certainly one of tamiya’s weaker models construction wise, making it not quite as suitable for beginners are originally intended.
The Tamiya Striker’s body shell has a shape more reminiscent of an F1 car than an off road buggy, and it’s certainly an acquired taste, but that said, it did prove attractive to many a collector and newcomer to the hobby over the years.
The chassis is of the plastic tub style and is manufactured from white ABS plastic. It differs greatly though from most other Tamiya cars due to it’s integration with the body shell on top, almost making the body just a small chassis cover & cockpit. Drive train wise, the Striker is powered by a rear wheel drive gear box & motor assembly with gear differential and industry standard RS540 motor (silver can). Suspension is facilitated by Swing arms on the front and trailing arms on the rear with coil spring friction shocks. These are adequate, but in no way high performance.
White spoke wheels, rear spiked tyres and ribbed front tyres.

58060 Monster Beetle
Originally released back in 1986, just two days before Christmas, the Monster Beetle was the admiration of many a Tamiya Radio Controlled Car enthusiast. Model number 58060, the Monster Beetle joined the Tamiya ranks, quickly becoming one of its best selling and most sought after monster truck style models along side the Lunch Box. Sharing the same chassis design as the Blackfoot series, the Monster Beetle features front double wishbone suspension, rear trailing arm suspension (a common feature of many Tamiya RC Cars), all damped by 4 oil filled coil sprung yellow plastic shock absorbers.
The motor supplied with the original kit was the Mabuchi RS540 motor, a 27 turn unit which became the industry standard and is still supplied with most RC Car kits today.
The Tamiya Monster Beetle of course sported the the stylish and distinctive VW Beetle based Baja style body shell, moulded in Red Styrene plastic. Coupled with its gold plated effect wheels, this model was and still is a real head turner. The pre-coloured body shell was also a favourite with many an impatient younger modeller. With only the driver to paint, it was possible to have this model built and ready to race in a very short space of time indeed.
