Tamiya Suzuki Jimny JB23 (MF-01X)

The critically acclaimed initial model on this platform, the MF-01X, is a tiny chassis that is poised to revolutionise the M-Chassis genre by emulating the iconic Suzuki Jimny off-road vehicle from Japan. Naturally, the Jimny has been available for purchase in many forms since 1970, garnering a large following due to its adaptability and durability. One of the third generation Jimnys, which had a modernised, rounder body design and was first debuted in 1998, is the JB23 represented by this model. It had a fierce tiny 658cc fuel-injected turbocharged engine and was well-liked in the Japanese home market.
