The 2008 reissue of the Tamiya Boomerang, model 58418-60A, brings back the distinctive lines of the original while equipping the car with proven components for off-road use. It is a nice balance for those who like vintage looks but need solid running performance.
This 1/10 scale Tamiya model features a shaft driven 4WD system that gives predictable weight transfer. The double wishbone independent suspension and oil-filled dampers allow precise setup for jump absorption and corner stability.
Begin with conservative shock settings and adjust from there based on testing. Softer damping improves traction on looser tracks, while firmer damping keeps the car stable on faster, flatter circuits. Balance front and rear to reduce understeer or oversteer.
The Boomerang is straightforward to service, with accessible drivetrain parts and common fasteners. Aftermarket hop-ups are plentiful, letting owners upgrade differentials, driveshafts, or shock components as needed.
Tamiya Boomerang 1/10 makes a good platform for hobbyists who want a period correct body with a solid, tuneable chassis. It suits both display collectors and active drivers who enjoy setup work.
