Lots of RC you tube videos try to be too flashy and going for that IN YOUR FACE WILD sound and aesthetic which I find overdone and adds nothing to the content.

Loving the retro looks for sure, this buggy excites me, and has me very interested. I lacked enthusiasm for the TD2 and TD4, both had serious flaws, not to mention their sabotage of the Avante and Astute branding (I'm a loyal vintage fan!)

Yeah, the fact that it resembles the super champ, a buggy i lusted over as a 13yr old has just sold it for me. I did get the champ when it was re-released in 2014 as there was no chance of it happening in the early 80's. We were so poor back then we used to go to KFC and lick other peoples fingers 😁

@@johnjosey5184 haha, I hear that dude. We were so poor we couldn't pay attention, lol! But I think it's a blessing in disguise, now getting to really enjoy these RC's as adults is arguably more enjoyable than it would have been as a kid.

What light kit is that please?

Just a cheapie off Amazon.

It's been 35 years since i had my Falcon and the look of this buggy makes me want to buy one and put it in a display cabinet.. is that weird? Just wanting to build these kits and hang 'em on a wall?

Not weird at all, man. I've got several Tamiya's that I've done that with. Some of these are real rolling pieces of art, that, in my opinion, belong on the wall the be enjoyed. 👊🏼

@poorboysrc ya, it's like I'd want one cheap one to beat up on and the rest to put on display. I just wish i didn't throw out my falcon when i moved 8 years ago. Could have restored it..

@@mrdavester You can still find them online in reasonable condition. I have one on my shelf that's near mint condition. But I don't drive it, just enjoy the 80's styling. Lol!

@poorboysrc hoping for a re-release. But wouldn't it be nice if they came out with 1/24 mini versions for all the collectors? Like the nintendo mini

@@mrdavester A re-re would be sweet. Hopefully it's on Tamiya's radar to make one.

I would have done box art I don't care. But you do you and I hope to see you Tuesday.

No, not planning on it. I'll run on sand, sand is nature's slipper clutch, lol!

Dear Sir, Sand kills ball races.

It sure does, but it's my favorite place to run my buggies. I've got a good method for preservation, it seems to work reasonably well. 👊🏼

I think some of the gearbox can come from TT 02 s.
