maybe not that many. at 1200 bucks not including radio or mfc, that's going to be a pricey sucker


found a pre order at fusion hobbies. 899 pounds so 1165 usd

I love that Tamiya has taken the leap into more advanced truck models. I was shocked when I saw the announcement of this one. I've several builds of exactly this type of wrecker/ tow truck setups, so I'm happy Tamiya seems to be looking to the community for interesting ideas.

I LOVE that wrecker, but I can't justify the price tag for a model that can ONLY do one job at our clubs meets.
