Tamiya Egress Black Edition

The Tamiya Egress Black Edition is a 1/10 scale RC car kit. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 430mm long with a 275mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply an electronic speed controller in the box.
