Incredible All NEW Tamiya BBX Off-Road RC Buggy!
Рет қаралды 219,330
Жыл бұрынEarlier this year Tamiya announced the all new BBX RC Buggy found here: bit.ly/3CmTAUa This buggy has a lot of people talking even outside of the Tamiya fan base. This kit gives us the look of a true off-road buggy, like what we were used to seeing from Tamiya in the early days. But this kit also gives us a lot of modern day design elements and the total package appears to be a success. But once Greg gets into this buggy in the video you’ll see there’s much more to enjoy. This is a RC video you can’t miss!

Excellent review on this, thanks for putting it together, and answers a lot of questions that are floating around about it. I wasn't to bothered about it on it's initial announcement but seeing it in a real world environment, definitely one to consider now. Having always been a fan of the classic SRB's from Tamiya this a great step forward to offer something more in line with what Kyosho have done with their legendary series by updating them to accept more modern electronics. You have also picked a fantastic colour as well, I think I prefer it to the blue to be honest, top job 👍🏻

Wife likes it as well so I might be able to get away with it! :D Looks excellent in the flame red!

I am in the process of building mine right now. I think it's a great build, much better quality (and higher price) than before. Saw in another channel that 3 O-rings on the shaft of the rear shocks fixes the dogbone coming out of the tranny issue. Also, the kit seems to be a bit bigger than 1/10 scale... at least to me. Great video!

I wanted a Super Champ in the early 1980's but they were expensive! $330 in 1982 would be just about $1000 now adjusted for inflation. So the BBX costs like 1/3 of the Super Champ did. (And the Futaba gear to go with it was even worse!)
