I've been building Tamiya RC and 1/35 scale models since 1979. One thing that has never changed with Tamiya is the use of screws and the complexity of their models. This kit will shortly be in my collection it has peaked my interest since I first saw it.

One more thing, it's your master piece you decal it up they way you want, and if you ask me, YOU NAILED IT Ralphie

Appreciate it!

When deciding a paint scheme I chose my colors and after cutting out the body i save the big scraps to run tests on the color and the sheen of the finish. Second time I've watched and found some more great tips from you and the best part is your knowledge of the modal at hand. I don't race so the setup of my modals is what's suggested in the manual. keep it up my brother this vid works for me THANKS

Thank's I just got mine for $255 US but didn't know it was that high tec glad I caught this video very informative I want the slipper clutch so I'll look for one today. I knew it was a real racer not a toy but as I said did not know it is so high tec. Perfect video. Ralphie

Slipper clutch not needed my friend, Id recommend the gear differential over the slipper clutch

looks really nice a lot of people say the tamiya camel yellow is what was used in the original rc10 box art

I would transform it into a dragster arranged as it is

Beautifully build. I like this video!

Thanks Rex - great passion for the hobby which is evident in the way you talk about these things. Cheers for the breakdown on this car. I'm saving up for a kyosho Javelin so probably won't get this one, but I enjoyed the clip

Oh wow the yellow looks really nice!

First video of yours I’ve seen. I sub in the first 15seconds as I liked the style of video…. I ordered mine a few days ago and now the long wait (30days) already decided the colour, same camel yellow and it looks great. I’ll keep it as Tamiya intended to start with before mod though.

Thanks for the video! You've EARNED my like. You gave a lot of good information. I was browsing a hobby shop website for plastic scale models and this (BBX) happened to randomly show up. I instantly fell in love with it because I used to run the Tamiya Wild One and Fast Attack Vehicle in the '80's against my friends Frog and Hotshots and Hornet. I love that Tamiya has quality cars that look real. THey're durable, high performance, and they really look great in scale. Without realizing how new this was I thought I must have this. This car will bring me back to the hobby!😀 I have an RC-10 and my two Tamiya kits in storage and I will be resurrecting them soon, maybe this year, but This will be my only new car. I've been watching other videos on this BBX and RC-10 and some are boring and uninformative. 😴🥱You taught me quite a lot about this car. Keep up the good work and thanks for not wasting my time. If there's one thing you can improve on the video, I would say its the sound quality. It seemed low and difficult to hear. 😀😀

Hey Rex! This video format was really good. Especially following up your fast build one. Quote of the week: "I want the shiny back"... So, would you recommend a brushless set up ( for a civilian, not a racer ) in this model? If so, which? If not, a sport tuned maybe? Cheers!

Ps-19 camel yellow. If you want it to stay bright, back with silver or white. For a stronger mustard color back with black. Spray many coats lightly is better than few thick coats, thin coats also dry faster. I always soak my paint cans in hot water 15min prior to painting, makes the paint come out nicer from the can. When youre almost done, spray the can upside down so the inner tube empties and less likely will have clogs in paint can for future
