Retro Pickup Charm in a Metallic 1/10 Model

Model builders looking for a period pickup will enjoy the Tamiya 84237 - 1/10 RC Subaru Brat (Metallic Special). Inspired by the late 1970s original, this kit recreates the Brat's distinctive lines and features an eye-catching chrome-style plated body for display or driving.

Solid engineering under the bodywork

The Tamiya 84237 kit blends authenticity with practical mechanics. It includes a silver-colored plated frame and a durable resin main body, along with an extra clear polycarbonate body for personalised paint schemes. The ABS frame houses a rear-mounted motor that powers the rear wheels in a straightforward 2WD configuration.

Confidence-inspiring suspension and tuning options

The suspension system uses 4-wheel independent components with front double wishbones and a rear trailing arm layout to handle rough surfaces. Oil dampers with aluminium cylinders smooth travel, and the supplied three pinion and three spur gears let you tailor gear ratios for different conditions.

Ready components for an enjoyable build

With a 540-J motor and Tamiya 104-BK ESC included, the Subaru Brat is ready to be completed and tested. Semi-pneumatic block tires on realistic 8-spoke wheels give dependable traction for casual off-road runs, while the kit offers satisfying assembly for modders and collectors alike.
