Tamiya brings back another R/C classic with this Subaru BRAT. Longtime fans will once again
experience the nostalgia of their childhood and beginners can enjoy the easy operation of this
colorful off-road truck.
About the Subaru BRAT
The Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter was created by Subaru in the late 1970's from
their earlier 4WD station wagon model for the US market. Powered by a flat-four engine ranging
from 1.6 to 1.8 liters in displacement, this pickup had the unique feature of having jump seats
welded to the truck bed, which allowed it to be imported as a car instead of a truck. One of the
car's more famous owners was former US President Ronald Reagan, whose red BRAT is restored
and displayed at his former residence in California.
