If you only ever buy one Tamiya it should be this. It’s the pinnacle of Tamiya and is buttery smooth to build AND drive!.

While I am more a Kyosho-guy, this Tamiya car has a nice design too. Thx for showcasing this car so well.

This car was released just after my RC days. I never gave it a second look until I watched this video. Wow, what a thing! I fell in love until I seen what they’re selling for on eBay. 😞 What a design, what a car. 👍

Probably the kit I'd most like to build that I've never built. Deffo top 5 of all the Tamiyas

I loved Tamiya boxes as a kid and still do.

I like to see you also enjoyed the build of the Egress. I'm curious of you driving experience. I love it. You can't have enough Egress. Top building video Glenn👍

Picked it up when it was re released. But never got around to putting it together, still boxed up. Thanks for sharing.

Your long videos are just as engaging as your short ones - and that's a good thing.

I for one am loving the longer vids. Short mid week vids are good also. Just keep doing what you want. It's all good Glenn.

What a Kit! To hell with all them bashing Brands! This is how car's have to be build. Technic like art! Build to consume 1150 mAh in exactly 4 min. And so nice! Great Video

Very cool that nowadays, cars have carbon fiber chassis. When I was a kid, graphite was the way to go. Once, a schoolmate took home one of the school lunch trays (they were fiberglass) and he used that to cut a new chassis for his Traxxas car that had a broken chassis.

I am loving the longer Saturday vids.. Those bearings look horrible. Trusting the grease to hold them in place

Really enjoyed this video Glenn. The Egress is my favourite and the best spec re-release Tamiya do... I understand why you lowered your suspension but I would like to go on record and show my disapproval, you can go too far (looks aren’t everything)... I prefer to use thick shock oil on the driveshafts it gets into the joint by capillary action but when running it throws the dirt from the surface, oil can be easily reapplied each running session the grease tends to hold onto the grit and dirt and requires a strip down build to clean and re-grease... I have shimmed the wheel axels with 0.5-0.6 mm shims it removes all the play from the wheels (you need a minimal play so the bearing don’t over heat and produce drag... ‘Thank for the mention Glenn’ I’m using the 10:5 turn brushless I have found the diffs will slip excessively on standard set up, I have found it’s better to just gently tighten it until the diff spring is fully compressed It still allow a slight slip on initial acceleration only, allowing it to behave like a slipper clutch but not so much slip it’s going to burn itself out... the original front shock mounts you are using "requires" those spacer plates you mentioned, they are to stop the torque motion of the bracket from cutting through the plastic lower arms! you could easily make some steel oblongs the dimensions of the hole in the lower arm the same thickness of the brackets fitted (I made some from thin FRP). (You might get away with leaving them out if you’re only car park bashing)... I have to say this obsession with the blue ball link nostalgia is driving me mad! they are rubbish plastic and have too much play if you intend to use your egress you need to stick the much better upgraded dark grey ball links (again looks aren’t everything) Once again it was a pleasure stopping by you are the LEGEND 👍

Glenn that Egress has come out beautiful. I know I'm 3 years late but that's not so important. I have an Egress Black edition I brought last year and haven't built yet. I would love to but then again I don't want to disturb the packaging , maybe I should have brought 2 . I also only 2 weeks ago got an Avante black edition still new in box . I gotta build one of them or look to by a second of one and build that. Dilemmas dilemmas👌🤣 I'm not greedy it's our hobby. It's just my family don't understand this hobby and my fondness for Tamiya RC cars. Love your work Glenn you are a master craftsman.

Great video Glenn you pushed me over the edge and I just ordered an Egress . Can’t wait to see the body and the first run .

Funny you should mention the DB01 Durga in this video, I actually got a second hand durga the other day - but it had a broken suspension arm sadly, and missing a king pin, and king pins for the DB01 are a pain to locate!! I got the durga based on you video of it actually!

Definitely Tamiya Royalty, Glenn!! I could only hope to get one of those. Please stay SAFE! Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Another spectacular Tamiya mate 👌 I like your trick for using spacers to lower it!. Thanks for sharing 🍻🦘🇦🇺

I lowered my VQS just now using your spacer trick. Looks much better now, thx!

That's a fine looking kit Glenn, brimming with Tamiya goodness. Giving it some serious consideration myself. I've got the BZ in my Top-Force, it's a great motor, I may have to invest in another one. ATB Darren.

Man does that sound smoooooooooth!!! Awesome detailed build! Great explanations! Saturday morning cartoons for me! Thanks Glenn, keep 'em coming! 10 out of 10!

I enjoy watching the longer videos!

The unboxing the way tamiya packs there kits is amazing art work of t rom beginning to finished and the blister packing brings memories!!

Great build Glen awesome buggy. Super lucky you got those front mounting plates.

Great video Glen.. What a fantastic bit of Tamiya goodness!!!. Since finding you and you’re channel I’m spending a fortune!!. Now I’m thinking another purchase is a possibility. The wife will go mad😂😂😂😂

Awsome car brotha!! Love your your video. Especially the long ones 😉👊 I think i need my first tamiya kit very soon. I've building tekno's and customizing arrma's for a while now but I think its time to explore the roots of rc🧏🏼‍♂️

I absolutely ❤️ the Egress, for me it has to be the best and holds so many great memories as a kid... Glenn I’ve been so looking forward to this series from you, and I have to say what an epic start to what I hope will be a long and enjoyable series 👍🏻 as for your longer running video’s for me the longer the better 🙏🏻 👊🏻

Would love to get my hands on one of these, thanks for the videos, I’m 45 and vintage Tania RC never gets old, cheers to all the men who grew up in the 80’s!

As usual great vid. I really like the longer Saturday vids 👍 The wife's not too keen though Glenn 🤣😂

I’m super impressed with the ball diff.. it looks like a high end diff. I can’t wait to get mine! Looks like an easy build

They are the same from the clod buster. I ordered some for my egress. Thanks for the help with the old Avante center diff yesterday. Nice build😎👍

another great video, cant wait to see you drive this bad boy

Superb Glenn, I like the longer vids. That Egress is a lovely looking buggy.

Majestic!

Stunning video Glenn, really appreciate the time you put into your videos. Loved every second. Have a great day.

Great video. I just love your enthusiasm, makes me want to buy an Egress.

Love the longer vids Glenn. More details and lots to learn and enjoy!

Yes, my absolute fav Tamiya I built one this last winter and it was so enjoyable. I built with a couple of hop-ups. Also put an RZ motor in it. Love this long video.

Great video, as always. Very well done. Love the car.

Very cool great build loving your channel mate 👍🏻

Love the Egress, had an original and moved it on to another Legend. Looking forward to my re re build when I get to it!

My favorite looking Tamiya is the Avante, but my absolute favorite Tamiya kits are the Egress and the Top Force (but I might be biased since I own multiples of each)

Nice viewing mate👍👍 and nice beautiful build😀

Brilliant video 😎

Your videos are always so detailed, engaging, and simple to understand, short or long. Keep up the amazing work!

What a truly amazing piece of kit, my local hobby shop has the black addition in stock and it's so tempting to buy one

Great build video Glenn, good timing too as I am just on the final step of my Egress 2013 build - decals and spray. Have built mine to spec using same electronics. Its an awesome kit, a real privilege to build. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome build, great video. You brought me back to my childhood. I’m going to buy one. Ps thanks for the tip with lowering the shocks.

Beautyful build..one of tamiya most bad-ass looking buggy’s..one of its very own kind..looks ace💥✌️

Great car, excellent job

This beast is an absolute work of art! Seeing you work thru every step brings back fond memories of the good old Tamiya days where everyone knows the Egress and the Avante Black Special. I had the mini 4WD Vanquish back then. ( : Thanks for this great video!

For me, this is the pinicle in Tamiya. People argue that the Avante is, but for me its the Egress. This is only one of 2 cars that i will buy, build & keep as an ornament. I have the other in the Super Astute... Top video mate....keep them coming 😎👌 4 weeks ago you were slowing down with the vids.....dont think ive seen you churn out the content so much, loving it 👍👍

Great build Glenn looking forward to see it in action 👍

I'm 46 now but oh how I wish I could buy this for my 14 year old self back in 1986. I would have LOVED it. I need to go back in time and take my money with me.

Awesome build just ordered an Avante Black Special, my first real high end buggy. Previously had boomerang, bigwig and super clod buster.

What a beauty! Now on my list to build LOL! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build and the running and still shot! This length is ok, I kind of like it for a build video, get to see the whole build (pretty much) Keep up the great work!

I like the vid! That is one hot looking rig.

Great build video of my all time favourite car. Love the ride hight, might have to do so with one if mine cars too. 👍🏼👍🏼

That carbon looks amazing

Love a build video but can’t wait to see a running video of it 😎

AWESOME! Love your channel my man 👋👍

An hour of drooling at the build.....

I’ve just managed to buy one, cost a bomb but this kit got my juices flowing 👍🏻😀

If it were mine, I'd look for softer and/or shorter springs so that the suspension at ride height still has some droop. I guess if it's just going on the shelf, it will look good as you have it assemble. The important thing is, it's your car so build it the way you like. Great video!!

I can't believe I'm just now seeing how well built this kit is. Damn shame I can't find one cheaper than 550 bucks right now but lord have mercy.. I love this.

God Glenn even the way it's packaged is beautiful !! It's a shame you have to disturb it all !! I completely understand why collectors sometimes like to just keep it all as is from the shop !! Amazing Car, amazing build, top top channel Glenn !! Really mean that my friend !! Wes, Liverpool.

Good looking car.

Hi Glen, I agree with everyone else the longer videos are great more in depth great build mate 🤘👍

Thanks Mate, great video. Time flew watching. Love the Egress can't wait to finally get my own. It is a beast that chassis is awesome. That Avante chassis is truly a thing of beauty but the Egress, the just looks like it was built for purpose. I think I'm going to lower my buggies now similar to you I run most of mine on the tarmac and they look awesome low. Thanks again, looking forward to the next episode.

I like the video the egress buggy keep it up.

Yes good call with the locking of the center diff just remember the spped run ; p

oh and.....YESSSS AWESOME BUILD :D

Superb car.. Superb video... End of ❤️

Great video ! I would love an Egress ... Rumour has it they may re release it in 2021

great wrenching video Glenn mate👍😊👊😎🇬🇧

whoo baby, i want one now good job buddy

Great build video Glenn & what an awesome kit, you can see why they are expensive. The build deserved the 56 minutes, great job 👍🏻

Awesome video 👌👌

Fantastic video Glenn, I too am really enjoying the longer run-time of the Saturday clips. A quick comment about adjusting the ride height: I've found that it's usually best done with all the electrics and the battery installed, since adding those will no doubt lower the car a bit further due to weight. Just dropping my 2 cents. I really must get me one of those Egresses before they become as rare as hen's teeth to find NIB!

Now that i've built my Avante ill need to build one of these next

Love the Saturday long build videos. I’d like to see more of the intricate parts put together too rather than off camera. And the installation of the radio gear. I like the start to finish format. Maybe do some body shells as well?

great guy and great channel what more is there to say

This is amazingly similar to the vanquish I had. Suspension motor plate and gearboxes look the same except the vanquish had planetary gear diffs on the axles and ball centre diff. Obviously the vanquish didn’t have carbon but all the screws look like they are in the same position. I still have mine I should see if I can get a new rear suspension mount:)

Such a nice car.. :)

Awesome car to build, wish i had one 😬. Nice video 👌

Awesome build Glen. Loved the detail and your take on the suspension. Back in 88 I mainly ran my Avante on road and I ran it as low as possible with an 11 double Trinity motor, huge pinion and Novak speed control. Don't need to tell you how quick it was. Length of the video was perfect. I often find the videos a bit too short. I know it's a year ago but keep up the great work. 👍

I like the longer videos

Great video again👍! I absolutely love my egress! I use the turn buckles of the super clodbuster because they are blue exactly the same as the original egress! ( can't remember what's parts numbers off hand) Saturday videos are fine by me I can relax and watch at my leisure!

Was a fun build just built it over weekend. Not doing the black style doing the 2013 addition.

Fav car 👌

Nice kit, it has aged well.

Nice car mate one of my favorites, i've got one as a runner myself and it's a seriously good piece of kit. If it wasn't so expensive back in 89 I think it would have been a lot more popular at club level. There was a member of our club that run one back in the day and he was winning A finals with it both indoors and out. Liking the longer format videos! I always thought it was a shame that most of the build footage ends up on the cutting room floor, so to speak! Nice to see more of the action. cheers!

Well I've just stumbled across this video and found it awesome and really interesting. Your right even without the body it looks beautiful. Great vid thanks for doing it p.s stay safe 🤘 with everything going.

Hi Glenn all the way from Yorkshire England I've never run a egrees I have run my cousins does the shocker angle a make a lot of difference love your content keep it coming 👍🏻👍🏻

I've just preordered a 2021 Egress re-re online from a Tamiya dealer; they either know for certain it's going to be announced tomorrow by Tamiya or they are taking a punt....can't wait to find out!

I am building my shelf queen 2 out of three that are must haves for my collection. I bought the nib original egress 89 at ebay for some cash. Then I am hoping my nib top force evolution from 92 comes today or monday. I need to fortify my house now=) The third car is the big one, the 501x, just built one with trf big bores=) Its perfect.

Great looking buggy, I'm thinking I need an Egress now lol. That servo does look quick, good choice for it. The steering looks better than the Avante 2011, which I found is very sloppy. Will be great to see it all done with the new body you have coming. 👌. I think your new Saturday video format is fine, lots of info in there, that's the main thing I think. 👍

I will get an Egress one day!

Hi Glenn

A lot of similarities with the Avante black special with the diffs and one-way setup. Man, I want an Egress! Love the longer Saturday videos Glenn, also the lower ride hight won't be that bad with the larger modern wheels.
