Classic Pickup Style Reworked for Today in the Tamiya Subaru Brat 58384-60A

The Brat's original charm from the 1970s is captured in this RC reissue, updated by Tamiya to meet modern expectations. The 1983-inspired bodywork keeps the vintage silhouette while the underpinnings receive performance-minded refinements.

Swap Between Display Resin and Race Polycarbonate

This release includes two body choices: a detailed resin piece for display and a lightweight polycarbonate shell for track sessions. Hobbyists can easily opt for presentation or performance without compromising on looks.

Robust Space Frame and Tuned Suspension

The chassis uses a space frame layout with true 4-wheel independent suspension. Front double wishbones and rear trailing arms are designed for variable surfaces, and the upgraded rear diaphragm oil dampers with coil springs improve compliance and control.

Tamiya 58384-60A Subaru Brat mixes period detail with practical upgrades, offering a friendly platform for custom builds and local club racing setups.

How long does the build typically take?

For a focused builder, assembly can take a weekend. Painting, drying time and electronics installation can extend the project to a few evenings.

Is the polycarbonate body track durable?

Yes, the polycarbonate bodyshell is designed for racing use and stands up well to minor impacts when fitted and trimmed correctly.

What tyre style works best?

Town and trail style tyres with moderate tread are a good match for the Brat's rear-drive layout; choose rubber suited to your running surface for best traction.

Can I paint the resin body with standard model paints?

Resin accepts model paints well but requires proper preparation such as sanding and a primer suited to resin to ensure adhesion and a smooth finish.
