The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Wise Style Meets Off-Road Heritage! At Hobby Hideaway, we have a soft spot for kits that blend classic performance with a touch of character. The Tamiya Owl Racer is a unique "driver" machine that puts a pre-painted owl pilot in the cockpit of the legendary Top Force body machine. This isn't just a fun novelty; it’s a tribute to Tamiya’s buggy roots, offering a high-contrast, aggressive look that stands out on the starting line. It’s the perfect choice for Ottawa racers who want a machine that captures attention while delivering a smooth, reliable run.
Adaptable Performance on the Super-II Chassis Matching the spirited nature of the Owl pilot, this kit is built on the highly versatile Super-II Chassis. The Super-II is a staff favorite at Hobby Hideaway because it evolves the classic design with increased rigidity and modern "turn-type" switches. It provides an incredibly agile, responsive ride, making it the perfect platform for racers in our Orléans community who want a chassis that is easy to customize and naturally stable during high-speed technical sections.
