58071 Sonic Fighter

The Tamiya 58071 Sonic Fighter is one of a duo of rather quirky looking RC cars, the other half of that duo being the Tamiya 58061 Striker released just a short while earlier. A true beginners level car, originally released in earlier 1998. The Sonic Fighter features a more toned down colour scheme than many of their other cars with a simple grey, yellow and black theme working very well on this unusual car. The only noticeable difference between the Striker and the Sonic Fighter being the oil filled dampers which give a marked improvement in handling on what is essentially a very basic car indeed. Cosmetically, the only variation between the Fighter and the Striker is the addition of the simple Roll Cage protecting the driver.

Availability of parts, spares and complete models is good although mint condition specimens are getting rarer.
