A legendary 4WD racing icon, reborn for the modern era
The Tamiya Egress is one of the most celebrated high‑performance off‑road buggies ever created. Originally released in 1989 as Tamiya’s flagship 4WD racer, the Egress combined cutting‑edge engineering, exotic materials, and unmistakable styling — instantly becoming a dream kit for serious racers and collectors.
Today, the re‑release version brings that same prestige back to the RC world, making the Egress one of the most desirable premium kits available.
