MODEL REVIEW

The Taiyo Customax 4×4 Mitsubishi Lancer WRC05 was a build it yourself / DIY remote control car released in 2004.

Available in Red World Rally Championship livery, and packing 4xAAA power, it was far more engaging than the similarly sized Taiyo Radican cars.

Like all Customax kits, it could be upgraded with various packs of new tires, rims, shocks, and even motors.

Additionally, all Customax 4×4 products were 2WD/4WD selectable, and even had a ‘Turbo’ mode on the controller, just like the larger Taiyo RC vehicles.

As they were only released between 2004-2006 in Japan, they are incredibly rare and hard to come by, so if you see one, snatch it up quickly!
