Bigwig (2017) is a reprint of the original 1986 model with some improvements, without changing the basic structure.

A departure from the slim style of the buggy body that had been mainstream up until then,
The voluminous aerodynamic body that smoothly flows air and generates downforce is still unique.

The markings follow the image of the time, but the key point is that the logo of "Mooncraft", the racing car manufacturing company represented by Yura, is prominently placed on the rear wing.

The chassis is a shaft-driven 4WD with excellent stability when driving off-road.

Full bearing specifications transmit motor power to all four wheels without loss, and differential gears are fitted front and rear to create smooth cornering performance.

Overall length: 390mm, overall width: 235mm, overall height: 140mm

[Product introduction]
As one of Japan's leading racing car designers, he has also appeared in TV commercials.

The Bigwig 4WD racing buggy was designed by Takuya Yura, known as "the man who can see the air," and became a hot topic as it was the 10th anniversary model of Tamiya's electric RC car.

Bigwig (2017) is a reprint of the original 1986 model with some improvements, without changing the basic structure.

A departure from the slim style of the buggy body that had been mainstream up until then,
The voluminous aerodynamic body, which allows air to flow smoothly and generates downforce, is still unique enough to the car.

The markings follow the image of the time, but the key point is that the logo of "Mooncraft", the racing car manufacturing company represented by Yura, is prominently placed on the rear wing.

[Shaft-driven 4WD chassis incorporating ambitious mechanisms]
The chassis is a shaft-driven 4WD with excellent stability when driving off-road.

Full bearing specifications transmit motor power to all four wheels without loss, and differential gears are fitted front and rear to create smooth cornering performance.

Suspension is double wishbone 4-wheel independent
The suspension arms are high-strength A-arms at the front and H-arms at the rear, and are equipped with CVA dampers with excellent shock absorption.

The flat dish wheels, which minimize the adhesion of mud that comes with off-road driving, are fitted with oval block tires that provide ample grip.

Additionally, the rack and pinion steering system that was only used on the Big Wig remains the same.
