Tamiya owns that bandwagon. I'm waiting for them to re-release the Monster Beetle!

Those titanium screws look remarkably "not"

Let´s test them - If You buy the Egress, I´ll send You the magnet

It's a very pretty car but there is only one Tamiya car in my entire collection, and it wasn't even sold by Tamiya.

I expected more from you Dennis! It's a FXT
I don't own any Strikers

How true is this Egress to the original? I had an Avante but it was ages ago, and I don't remember much about the Egress except the titanium screws!

Ha, they invented the re-re market. Is there a car Tamiya made which has not yet been re-re'd?

I would love a rere Tamiya Ranger! Easy for them but no go!

Ranger and a Monster Beetle would be awesome.

Can remember drooling over the A4 poster I had of the Egress on my bedroom wall (IIRC it had photos of various other models in the range on the other side - the models shown in that typical Tamiya pose with body on car with the chassis only in front shot) - also had a second poster with the Astute on it!

I was sold on these images but quickly realised once I started going to the local racing club that Tamiyas didn't make competition grade cars & even those aimed for the racing market (Avante, Egress etc) were over complicated, heavy & fragile.... as such I've never seen an Egress running let alone on a track!

I know that Jamie Booth campained an Egress to considerable success here in the UK so they can't be all bad & of all the Tamiya Re-Res this is the one that is really tempting me... but i'd have to run it just to see how it went!

exactly... they pretty much showed the commercial viability of the concept... AE/TT only followed

When I started racing Darren Styles drove for Tamiya and he piloted an Egress with a degree of success. The damn thing used to scare me when I was marshalling, it was powered by LRP motors, which at that time was THE motor to have, it was so damn fast it was scary! (In a straight line I hasten to add!)
