Solar Power
This is one of the oddest, rarest, and arguably most amazing vehicles Tamiya has ever created. Covered with solar panels, the Solar Eagle truly runs off the power of the sun. Power comes from three 2.5V banks of solar panels. There is no chassis, all components are mounted to the one-piece polycarbonate body. The kit is in good condition with the box a bit faded.

Yes, this is a very cool kit. I wonder what a modern version of this would be like, as solar cell efficiencies have gone up over the years. UltimateRC/Ultimate Tamiya has a video of this on YouTube if you're interested.

I had one of these 17 years ago. I put mine together and actually ran it. Wish I would have kept it now....

I have one of these which we run. It's not exactly Eagle-like in either speed or handling, but it's a lot of fun. It's in my showroom
