58400 series kits
It took 15 years for Tamiya to release their 100 first models: the following hundred marks were reached every 5 years approximately. Since 2008, despite the world and RC economies suffering a long-lasting deep crisis, Tamiya even accelerated their release rate since the 584xx series was covered in only 4 years. But beyond this profusion, it is very interesting to note that:
- the range of models and chassis is very, very wide: crawler, trial, drift, M-chassis, Formula 1, touring, rally, buggy. A fan can get in almost every RC category, either for leisure or for racing purposes
- interstingly too, Tamiya renewed a large part of their offering during these 4 years, releasing new chassis generation in M-chassis (both front and rear wheel drive), touring (shaft driven, belt driven and front wheel), Formula 1
- vintage fans were not forgotten with the unexpected re-releases of mythical models from the 80's like the Sand Scorche, the Avante and the Fast Attack Vehicle
Tamiya never got involved in so many different RC markets at the same time in their history. Nevertheless, you can also notice that Tamiya carefully stays away from "fashion" categories such as the steroid Monster Trucks in the mid 2000s and the Short-Course craze in the 2010s. The RC market got renewed to some extend by these ephemeral waves both initied by Traxxas, but Tamiya remained focused on every other stable market segment that better suits their know-how and customer base.
