Responses, one at a time! - Thank you! - It is great. I think it's going to be a complete hoot. - Lairy. Adjective- ostentatiously attractive and/or flashy. - Sorry, but I don't use Tamiya plugs on any of my stuff. None of my charges, leads, nor batteries are Tamiya-lug-compatible. - Huge aerial would be a win. However, it will ruin the self-righting ability. I'll have to think!

Nobody does Tamiya, quite like Tamiya. Your dump truck is one of those by example. On paper, its a Tonka Truck with RC!! But it's sooo much more than that. This Dancing Rider looks like a hoot to drive. Everyone in the hobby should have to build and run a Tamiya at some point!! Like driving an original Mini!! It should be the law!! 🤘🏻

Yeah, the Dump Truck was on my mind, no doubt! It's a VERY Tamiya-Tamiya! However, I'd say that this is an even Tamiya-er-Tamiya! I agree. Every RC enthusiast has to build a Tamiya kit.

Your reaction at 10:00 is epic.

Glad you like it!

The dancing Rider is certainly a mad little thing. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out. You are going to have to get a bib Mike for your spillages 😂 . Definitely go with the aerial tube and a triangle flag on the end

Next time, I'll just do better! No spillages! I was thinking the aerial tube, but that will ruin the self-righting aspect.

@@TheRCScotsman 🤣. Maybe for when it's on a shelf

That looks just like a turbo racing transmitter, which some people recommend as a cheapie. Their tiny little rc cars are very cool.

It's actually OK. Not bad at all. Fine for a simpler RC.

Make sure you glue the T3-01 dogbones really well because they easily strip out the plastic bit. Plenty of room for the esc (TBLE-02S fits fine) but the receiver can be a bit awkward (I taped onto the side of the esc).

Thank you for the advice! I had already done that part, but stripped it back down, to add the glue. I can already tell there wasn't a lot of strength, there. Appreciate it. Got the ESC to fit, fine!

Some say, we were brainwashed as children by the Tamiya videos playing on a loop in beatties, and we will still be buying Clodbuster's in 20 years time.!!? All we know is that it's called Tamiya.

Top Speed Challenge time? I've been juggling this or the BBX, looks like my mind has been made up (towards goofiness) lol

That sounds fun! Although, I'd have to buy a GPS speed meter. Oh, the BBX is lovely! Can't go wrong with that! Although, I've chosen what I've chosen, so I guess that settles what I prefer!

Thats a nice 1:1 car !! Check out Matteo's video about this Dancing Rider Tomley is ok, bu he promotes way too much cheap Chinese shit :( That unboxing of the transmitter was funny 😂😂

Thank you! Oh, I will. I do like Matteo's videos. He does very good work. I like Tomley, but I agree. I'm not massively keen on Chinesium. Glad you enjoyed it!
