Tamiya Volkswagen Amarok Custom Lift Truck

Tony Phalen February 15, 2015 New RC Cars and Parts 204 Views

Tamiya is no stranger to releasing odd vehicles not normally seen in the US and the Amarok is a great example of that. Based on the mid-sized Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) truck, the Amarok was has seen many on- and off-road applications in Europe since 2010.

The Tamiya equivalent is based on their WT-01 platform and features a modular chassis, 4-wheel independent suspension, TBLE-02S ESC, a 540 motor and a beautiful VW pickup body.

I actually really like the look of this can see a definite future for this body on quite a few scale builds.

Available in March 2015.
