Here's a bunch of nice reference pictures of the very first Tamiya model to use the famous ORV chassis!
I'm working on my own Brat nowadays :)

Have a look at the differential here:
Two back seats for...

How cool is that!
Looking at this suddenly makes the Tamiya Brat with it's oversized wheels pretty scale!

Oh man, where do I start?...OK, first of all...that picture of the two girls is so awesomely old school. It's from that era before humans starting figuring out things...probably not a good idea to party in the back going 55mph. And then your 1:1 Brat...wow, first 'real' Brat I've seen that best resembled the Tamiya kit version. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool, seeing this one makes doing many scale crawler projects with the Brat body seem more realistic and even the stock Tamiya Brat looks about like that except for the 2wd, nice truck and definately one of a kind!

Looks like one of those broads has taken away one of the 'joystick' handles, bit of a souvenir??
