First Look: Tamiya Neo Scorcher TT02B
Check out the new Tamiya Neo Scorcher off-road buggy! While Tamiya has yet to release any solid information about the car, what we gather from the recently released photos is that it’s based on a conversion of the new TT02 touring car chassis dubbed the TT02B. To complete the conversion it appears numerous chassis parts were swapped out for buggy specific pieces including the shock towers, control arms, steering components, and most obviously, the body, wheels and tires.
