The Tamiya 58418 Boomerang is a faithful nod to a much-loved 1980s buggy, updated to improve durability and simplify routine work. The reissue keeps the period look while making the drivetrain and service points more accessible for modern builders.
The wedge silhouette and oversized rear wing deliver the model's distinctive profile and help with high-speed stability. A polycarbonate chassis cover has been fitted to reduce ingress of dirt and to make post-run cleaning less time consuming.
On its Hotshot-derived platform the Boomerang uses a shaft-driven 4WD system that provides dependable traction across a variety of surfaces. The 3-piece bathtub chassis separates the central frame from the front and rear gearboxes so you can service internals without full disassembly. The suspension combines a front mono-shock oil damper with rear CVA long oil dampers for a controlled response over bumps.
Owners can pursue performance upgrades from Tamiya to sharpen handling and durability. Compatible option parts such as the DF-02 assembly universal shaft and DF-03 aluminum damper set are popular ways to enhance the Boomerang for club runs or display.
The Tamiya 58418 Boomerang is both a collectible reissue and a practical kit for tuners. Its clear service layout and upgrade options make it an appealing choice for model builders who value authenticity and usability.
