Tamiya Subaru Brat Model Kits (2 Bodies) – 58384
Tamiya brings back another R/C classic with this Subaru BRAT. Longtime fans will once again experience the nostalgia of their childhood and beginners can enjoy the easy operation of this colorful off-road truck.
About the Subaru BRAT The Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter was created by Subaru in the late 1970 s from their earlier 4WD station wagon model for the US market. Powered by a flat-four engine ranging from 1.6 to 1.8 liters in displacement, this pickup had the unique feature of having jump seats welded to the truck bed, which allowed it to be imported as a car instead of a truck. One of the car s more famous owners was former US President Ronald Reagan, whose red BRAT is restored and displayed at his former residence in California.
