Growing up, many Singaporeans had their fair share of fun participating in Tamiya racing tournaments that were often held at heartland malls. While those days may be long gone, it seems the iconic tracks are making a comeback, particularly at this hobby store in Woodlands.
Opened in October last year, the store lets customers build their very own Tamiya cars and have them bolt on a racetrack for $2 an hour.
Here, race car fans can relish their fond childhood memories with their fellow opponents.
With various racing car models and accessories from the classic Japanese brand, hobby shop MF11 MINI 4WD has all the makings of Tamiya fans’ dreams.
Intricate car parts in various colours are also available for purchase, for otakus who are very particular about the smallest details.
These are just some examples of the sleek cars that customers have put together at the store.
After assembling or beautifying your very own racing car, you can head over to their massive track for a friendly race.
Besides a wide array of products, the store has dedicated a space for a large track with various twists and turns.
Seeing the cars you’ve painstakingly assembled whizzing across the tracks in a mini F1 race would surely be exhilarating.
Some routes include an overturn and sharp drifts, with one portion even resting against a wall at 90 degrees. Bold players would definitely be testing their nerves on these tracks.
According to the store’s Facebook page, playing charges are as follow:
