I saw one of your previous comments on here about waiting for the Dyna Storm to be rereleased. It was rereleased already in 2001. You’re right about the original not coming with the Pink Acto Power motor. The original manual actually suggested that motor for the build. When it was rereleased in 2001 a motor was included with it I believe. It was pink without a label and didn’t look like the Acto Power motor. Soon after Tamiya released a third pink motor that looked exactly like the Acto Power motor again without the label. The most important thing about this buggy was the multi disk clutch system which built off the Super Astute TTC system (gearbox). While this is probably Tamiya’s best 2wd performing buggy back then, it still had a hard time competing against LOSI and Team Associated’s RC10. From personal experience, it does handle better than its other 2wd counterparts. Trust me, you will enjoy this buggy. Have fun and I’m looking forward to seeing what you decide to do about the color of the body.

There was a guy who raced one of these at the old indoor track back in the early 90's and I don't know how he did it but he converted it into a stadium truck and he blasted the field! He was winning races by three and four laps every week and I remember him telling me that the reason he was so much better than everyone was because of the shocks and the balance of the chassis.

Can't lie, I'm actually jealous. What a fun package to get.

That is NOT the gift you were supposed to have gotten for your MRS. Good luck, fella!

Just amazing Gavin!! I've been trying to find a decent one that's not over priced for years as well!! Congrats to you on getting one bud ☺️ Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to get one too

Doing what you did for example with this video is interesting and informative and just good to watch👍 I think the problem with full build videos is the vast majority of collectors know how a build goes so to watch one can be a bit tedious🤷‍♂️ on the dyna storm motor your right it didn't come with one but a lot of hobby shops at the time did deals which included the pink acto-power! the re-re (please correct me if I'm mistaken) did come with a pink motor but without the acto-power sticker on it!

This and the Astute have to be the best looking 2WD Buggies ever made.

I like watching the build vids just as much as the rest.

I love both un boxing and build videos.

Great buy. The Dyna Storm is a great buggy and a joy to drive. Replace the front bulkhead and rear suspension mounts with 3D printed items, or Nimrod if you can find them if you plan on driving it. And you should drive it!

Nice find. The rerelease did come with a pink motor but it wasn’t a Acto power motor, I think it was a GT 25t motor painted pink.

Super score Gavin. One on my bucket list! Can't wait to see it finished

Tha is real gem Gavin. Well done on grabbing that one!!!!!

Fantastic package my friend😎🇬🇧👍😊

Lucky you to find such a nice example. I really really want Tamiya to re release this buggy. No other just this one. Build / rebuild videos are really fun. 20% is nothing, we pay 25% here in Norway plus stupid high levels of handling fees

What an amazing collection you have , very impressive Gavin 👍

Great buggy ,wish I could get one !

Beautiful, congratulations. The Dyna Storm is a SUPERB buggy in my opinion. I have one on it’s way from Japan (not cheap!). Can’t wait. I have a modified Trinity brushed motor for it :) Modern limitless Tekin ESC. I like your technical build videos personally.

Great score

Nice looking buggy from tamiya. Didn't quite have the race pedigree to compete with the rc10 or the cougar but definitely one of the better 2wd tamiya buggies

cool, this is really a great car! nice the white wheels on the avante 2001 as well!

Nice Find 😎👍🏻🇦🇺 mate of mine loved his 👌🏻

I got mine mint two days ago. Looks like it has some upgrades too. Came with a yokomo motor=)

To chime in on your question I like the unboxing and finished product with extra clips is best as far as keeping interest up jmo...?

Hi love your channel great content just a quick question what are those little car's on the front of your work station near the plant pot and where did you get them? Subscribed and hit the bell icon much respect TAMIYA FOREVER !

Man you love tamyia products lol. I have always thought they were ugly except the lunchbox lol always wanted one but i got a jrx2 instead and taced that.

one thing you could do is in between show progress on building a car with out doing the whole video on that particular car...I like stuff like tips..new Rc stuff on the market..and setups..also like hop -ups add ons..upgrades

I like all the content you do. So it doesn't bother me what you post up. Love to see more driving but you guys are in lock down again so might not be doable. For a bit.

Well cool

Yes it is indeed 😎😎

Nice car! It's from late 92 so you need a good ESC from the early 90s to run that motor. Novak made top racing ESCs. The best model for 92 would be a 410. The Racer or Hammer Pro which are a bit newer (94ish) could also work. Someobody who knows his stuff could recommand you a model from Tekin or another make. Regarding your videos, I'm not too much into the building ones. I usually skid to the end. Sorry ;-(

The wall keeps growing😁. Do I see 2 avante's with the white wheel's at last? Great vid as always👍👍👍

Didn't there used to be a Tamiya lobo it was wicked fast well fast for back then lol n to a kids amazement

don't have one but would love one... looks super well made...what are parts availability?

I love the Dyna Storms Gavin, I don't have one currently, but i have a Dyna Blaster on the way. What tooth pinion gear do these 2wd's typically love? Especially on the Acto pink motor. Cheers for the fantastic content, I am learning a lot from you.

lush i see a fox, 2 falcons a bigwig a 959 2 avanti's a boomerang and an astute .... owned all of them :D back in the 80's when they were new

Never heard of it, I just went and checked out how much they are on eBay!!! Wow that's expensive! I think I'd rather buy the new Frog though and try and make it brushless. The Frog new is about £130 but of course it's not a full on racing buggy like the Dyna Storm is. You could also get the Top Force new for a lot les and that seems a decent racing buggy? I'd paint it black and blue?

I'd like to see your unboxing videos. Then make those videos with hundreds of still photos from overhead as you build a car, easier to edit and only one camera, just add music. And then I'd like a normal video of the cars running.

Waiting for a re-re.. Dyna Storm prices are just ridiculous. Very pretty Tamiya that is. 👌🏻

Paint it custom mechanical theme with lightning bolts!!

20% wow bring the vaso

I have one for sale, and one dyna blaster too.

Sweet!! What's the story with the three micro tamiya's on the lower right hand corner???🤔

This is the only 2wd I want, and I want it badly.

Not stupid but too eager 😄😋

I know I'm very late but I say do it how you want it you played for it

Did this video come out before you did that same thing with all of the RC10? or did that come later after this video? I can’t remember. Lol

Can you tell me what car is the day glow yellow to your right please

Tamiya needs to rerelease this car

Nice video. The Dyna Storm is a great car, last of the Astute family, although it shares little hardware from those cars, containing the up to date tweaks of the time. The original car never came with a motor and had bronze bushings in the steering arms and one in the diff. The re-re had ball race bearings throughout. The re-re also contained a pink motor. Not the Acto Power pink modified and rebuildable motor available as a hop up option, but a sealed can stock pink motor that had bronze bushings instead of bearings and lacked the sticker. There was also a third pink motor that was never released to the general public or in any kit. More info can be found here tamiyabase.com/articles/52-things-to-know/218-the-dyna-storm Enjoy your buggy. Additionally, and you may already know by now, the spare chassis you acquired with the buggy appears to be a Dyna Storm Chassis, not Astute as labelled. www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/profile/5299-fruitfly01/

Do two videos one build all the way and one fast video!

I do like building videos

I as a Kyosho guy don't quite know about this. But I'm pretty sure it is the same deal as the Kyosho Triumph. It's the best thing that was possible in the early 90s with all the beloved vintage parts but the performance is not comparable to newer racing buggys.

seen one on e-bay 988.73 ...are your freaking kidding me..

not as nice handling as the schumacer cat...... won ton's of comps with her in the 80's

The build videos are not my favorite. The constant cuts with fast motion and music get tiring fast. The numbers don't lie. Unboxing and talking about cars are the most interesting.

building videos to me are some what boring...I prefer un boxing and off camera stuff
