Tamiya's XB philosophy

Tamiya is one of the most recognised and respected brands in the world of modelling and radio control. Its Expert Built line was created to offer the driving experience without the entry barrier of assembly. Each XB unit undergoes the same quality control as any other model from the brand, ensuring that the setup is correct from the very first use. For the enthusiast who already knows the brand, it is a way to add a new vehicle to their collection or car park without dedicating an afternoon to the workshop.

Ideal for…

• Radio control enthusiasts who prefer to run rather than build.
• Collectors looking for a finished Tamiya model with competition decoration.
• Those new to the RC world who want to start without technical complications.
• Gifting to someone passionate about the hobby without them having to go through the construction process.

Aspects to consider

As an XB range model, the Racing Lancer comes fully assembled and ready to operate. Before the first session, we recommend checking the battery charge level and ensuring that all components are securely fastened after transport, just as any responsible driver would do before heading to the track.

Frequently asked questions

What does XB mean in Tamiya models?

XB stands for Expert Built. It indicates that the model has been assembled, painted and finished at the factory, so it arrives to the customer ready to run without the need for any additional assembly process.
