The Boomerang is a re-release of a classic Tamiya off-road buggy. Tamiya designers have given this re-release kit a makeover replacing older, harder to assemble parts with modern equivalents, but still keeping true to the spirit of the original Boomerang.
 
The combination of these new improvements such as the more efficient gear box, drive shafts and axle joints along with the new placement of the drive shaft, gives the Boomerang improved steering control and helps to minimize the effects of abrupt shocks. The kit also comes with a chassis cover to prevent dirt and debris from interfering with operations. Take this updated Boomerang out for a spin and relive your childhood!
 
Reliable Power Train:
The Boomerang takes over the famous Hotshot’s chassis and shaft driven 4WD power train. The 3-piece bathtub chassis, which consists of center frame with front and rear gearboxes, ensures easy maintenance. Front features a mono-shock oil damper and a stabilizer as well as rear features CVA long oil dampers. Newly included is a polycarbonate chassis cover to protect the chassis from dirt and debris.

Pricing Note: We have priced this kit above, as we do the whole range, assuming that you will not require the standard ESC unit.  If you would like the kit with the ESC included, simply add the Carson Dragster or Tamiya Hobbywing ESC from the drop down below - which adds £15-£18 to the total.  Note also, Tamiya kits do not come shrink wrapped in the UK or Japan. The box sticker may state "ESC Included" whether you order it with or without this unit.
 
Options Explained

Bearing Upgrade: These make the car run more smoothly and are easily installed during assembly. If there is no option for these shown, then the kit already includes the bearing upgrade as standard. These are entirely optional.

Radio System: There is a choice of a TWIN STICK (Traditional) radio or a Steering Wheel (Modern) radios. All operate on 2.4Ghz and use the new Crystal-Free technology, so you can run multiple cars at the same time without any interference. All radios chosen from this page will include a steering servo as these are not included in the kit itself.

ESC: This is the connection between the radio system and the motor. You have several choices. Tamiya no longer make their own ESC, instead they supply from their facilities Hobbywing or Mstyle units. Where a model number is shown (e.g. 20 or 15) that is the motor capacity of the unit - the lower the number, the more powerful a motor you can install later. All work with the motor in the kit.

Battery: The higher the number, the longer the run time.

Charger: Charge time is proportional to the battery you choose. Some examples - for the 1800 battery (others will take longer) - USB charger takes around 4 hours, Mid Speed around 2 to 3 hours, Etronix Fast Charger can be as quick as 60 minutes in the house or 30 minutes in the car and Ansmann Delta also around 30 minutes (and also works in the car).
