Metallic Subaru Brat Recreated in 1/10 Scale

Enthusiasts of retro pickups will find the Tamiya 84237 - 1/10 RC Subaru Brat (Metallic Special) a faithful miniature of the late 1970s icon. This limited metallic finish reproduces the Brat's unique silhouette while offering a collectible appearance and practical kit form for model builders.

Faithful mechanics with hobbyist focus

The Tamiya 84237 kit balances scale accuracy with functional components. It arrives with a silver-plated frame and a robust resin body, plus an extra clear polycarbonate body for those who prefer custom paintwork. The ABS frame features a rear-mounted motor, driving the rear wheels in a traditional 2WD layout that is simple to service.

Handling, damping and gearing options

Handling comes from a 4-wheel independent suspension using front double wishbones and a rear trailing arm arrangement to tackle uneven surfaces. Oil dampers with aluminium cylinders deliver controlled rebound, and the three included pinion and spur gears allow you to change gear ratios for different driving preferences.

Supplied electronics and practical tyres

This edition includes a 540-J motor and the Tamiya 104-BK ESC, allowing a speedy completion of the build. The semi-pneumatic block-pattern tyres on 8-spoke wheels offer realistic looks and dependable grip for light off-road use. The kit is well suited to both display collectors and hands-on tuners.

The Tamiya 84237 Subaru Brat is a versatile kit that matches period aesthetics with practical running parts. It makes a strong display piece and a solid platform for modest performance upgrades.
