Tamiya Boomerang

If I were Paul Hogan back in '87 this would DEFINITELY be my rig of choice. No, it's not a big knoife, but it's a bloody BOOMERANG!!!
This gem shares many design elements of the HotShot family of Tamiya RC's. The Bigwig, Super Sabre, Fire Dragon and Sand Scorcher to name a few.
Speaking of HotShots, check out my Throwback to that beauty here:

This drive train is tough and still a ton of fun, even by today's standards.
Sit down, grab a Zima and enjoy the show!

    The Boomerang was my second ever RC car after many years driving a Holiday Buggy. I have many fond memories of driving this car on some superb beaches. This also reminds me of one of its less clever design features. The plastic pin that held the battery flap closed used to get jammed in by dust and sand! I still have my Boomerang and original Acoms radio with flag to denote the frequency of operation!

    Yeah the plastic battery tray retainer lacks sophistication, but puts a smile on my face every time I see it. Thanks for watching! 🤙
