Classic Subaru Brat Returns in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 58384 Subaru Brat kit brings a beloved automotive icon back to the track in a 1/10 scale assembly model. This kit captures the quirky spirit of the original Subaru BRAT while offering a familiar build layout for hobbyists who enjoy hands-on assembly and authentic styling.

A short history of the Brat

The road-going Subaru BRAT stood out for its unusual blend of pickup practicality and passenger car traits. Tamiya's model echoes that heritage, letting builders recreate the look and character of the original while learning classic kit assembly techniques.

Chassis layout and driving traits

Built on Tamiya's tried-and-true 2WD platform, the Subaru Brat model shares components with The Frog and uses a 4-wheel independent suspension for improved wheel control over uneven surfaces. The kit includes a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed control for dependable on-track performance.

Choose your shell for the conditions

The kit ships with two body shell choices: a period-correct plastic shell for display and a tougher polycarbonate shell for active running. This gives owners the option to show off a faithful replica or protect the model during more demanding off-road use.

Whether you are restoring a vintage RC roster or building your first kit, the Tamiya 58384 Subaru Brat combines period charm with practical running options.
