Don’t miss out on the return of the Tamiya Super Sabre, you can find it here: Back in the late 80’s, the Tamiya Super Sabre was a brother to the Boomerang, but didn’t seem to get the same spotlight until now, where in the modern RC world people that recognized they missed out want their hands on the Super Sabre and luckily Tamiya has delivered. In this video, Greg will give you an overview of the buggy and what you can expect from the kit. He’ll then hit a track for some pure fun. The one thing you can’t miss in this video is the sound of the Tamiya driveline, it certainly brings back memories of driving RC’s in the late 80’s!

This was my 1st real grade RC back in the day. Blackfoot and then the Clodbuster. So happy Tamiya re released it.

Same here! And I still have my Clod from back then too, albeit modded a bit.

Without much mincing words she is my favorite Tamiya 4wd. When I heard about the release I ordered it as soon as possible, it was a wish to have it and I made it happen. Congratulations for the channel, for the preparation and for the passion you dedicate to this hobby.

Great review Greg. I've got one backordered. I just got my Boomerang and it's awesome. It's so fun building these, painting and decaling them. I love it. It just makes you have fun and laugh. Thanks for sharing.

got one of these on a trip to Japan back in the early 90's and never saw another one here in the states. Was a super cool buggy and I loved it but nobody had parts for it back then so waiting for parts from Japan when it broke sucked but cool to see it back again.

I had the original 1980s version, initially the futuristic wedge shaped silver styling attracted me over the traditional buggy styling of the other models. I enjoyed the build process and driving it, over the years it got put away in my garage and forgotten about.... Found again, recommissioned driven briefly but I didn't feel that same draw, so sadly I sold it Huge regrets...⚠️😔 Looking at it now I feel it was years ahead of it's time and I wish I still had it. So much so I've had to buy another not so vintage RC buggy to restore. 😁👍

Very cool, I had a few old tamiyas yrs ago including a frog. Fun memories! Toss in a brushless setup and a lipo and make it a sleeper! The suspension and set up wouldn't handle it great but it's all in fun!!

Awesome, I want one. I'm fine with the vinzage technology and it looks sharp. One thing which pushed it downwards my project list, is the body. Cutted and drilled is fine, but I wanted a custom paint, so I'm hoping that they bring out the spare body vefy quick.

My first hobby grade RC! And that I still have (!), minus the body (replacing with a TBG repro that fits ok) Of course I started a restoration (with the help of JB plastic weld on the ancient and well-loved ABS) on it 2 weeks before news of the re-re. But it will be nice to have my 35 year old Super Sabre back in action!

@SuperRondone 6 ай бұрын

I really appreciated the fact that you didn't use it on the large ramp, because being a model from the 80s it is not suitable for the track, unfortunately there are model makers who use them badly with the risk of breaking them.

@bluegroovemodelsports9650 9 ай бұрын

Great video. Fun looking buggy

@SuperRondone 6 ай бұрын

Yes, I agree about the sound of the transmission, it is beautiful and very characteristic. On mine I inserted the 17 steel pinion combined with the classic silver can, but I would like to get a torque tuned or at most a sport tuned one, I won't go any further because having the differentials exposed I don't see it suitable for overly powerful engines. greetings, bye. 😁

I have a question in regards to the spacers used for the gear mesh. I am getting ready to build the Tamiya Boomerang which shares a lot of the same parts as the super sabre. I'm just wondering if the spacing for the gear mesh would apply to the Boomerang as well.

I have a love/hate relationship with Tamiyas. I wish they would include full bearing set and would upgrade the plastic to a glass/nylon mix and just update battery bays to a rectangular lipo shape. Other than that hard to beat the detail Tamiya puts in their body kits.
