This is the first I've learned about Tamiya 4WD. Pretty neat stuff.

Anyone else immediately get the urge to try to adopt a micromouse style robot into one of these? Like put a computer into it that can complete the track at a safe speed then remember where the straightaways are so it knows how fast to accelerate.

We used to get the Tamiya 4WD kits when we were kids, and they were great fun, particularly when making huge outdoor tracks and trying to race each-others cars on foot
