Everyone laughs at the ugly, pink and purple thing today but in 10 yrs this will be the RC car everyone wishes they bought as a kid but didn't have the money or courage to buy. :lol:

The only redeeming thing about this rere is maybe the tires will leave pink burnout marks as youre grinding off the buggy spikes on the street

Don't let the drift guys know. But also those tires are going to get so dirty, and look like you picked up some leftover bubblegum :lol:

This must be some kind of Kid Robot type thing, where they have artists and designers make toys. I seriously doubt that Tamiya is marketing this to the r/c world, my guess is that it's just the latest platform in the long line of artist-toy-colaboration-gimicks. That's all.

Up next, the Haruki Murakami Clodbuster.

That looks like something you'd find in Walmart in the Barbie aisle. :?

That about sums it up :lol:

I would keep the nice black rims though.

Atleast the 'boys' down on Oxford Street (gays) can enjoy an r/c that will suit their taste.

Definitely the dumbest rere I have seen.
