Thanks Glenn. Yeah I think so too. I've just now had the idea I may grab another one and add a Boomerang body and stuff on it. Just an idea...🤔👍

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂👍

Thanks! 🙂👍

Sorry, Coryn. I've only seen this just now. Thanks! By now I'm guessing you've already built your kit. Hope it went well! 👍

@RC Hobby Shed hello mick I enjoyed building it I put he metal a5 part on it then sold it and bought a tamiya dirt thrasher 👍

G'day Nick. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Great idea mate! After looking at it again I agree it really does need to be backed with white. I'll be doing that for sure! 👊👍

Yeah they are a good one. Oh yeah the no painting is a bonus for sure! Thanks mate. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed 😉👍

Haha, you can always grab a clear body later. Or you could get a repro from TBG now. I think it would look cool in blue or black! 👍

G'day Mark. Thanks mate. Hopefully my video wasn't too boring for you, since you already know the chassis. 🙂 I hope so mate, still can't decide on a motor. Might just close my eyes and point randomly at a motor lol. You too mate, have a great weekend! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed No - definitely not boring! I really enjoy seeing how my friends do their builds and how it's presented to the viewer. Always something new to learn, that's the beauty of this hobby. And who gets fed up of a Tamiya build?!?!?! Just watched your unboxing video - I got an RX too! As for the motor, put the fastest one in it, my Terra is painfully slow with the stock motor! Cheers, mate, a great weekend to you too.

Ah that's good then 🙂. Me too mate, always interesting to see other peoples builds. Exactly, Tamiya builds are always fun! Oh yeah, I plan to leave the stock motor out of the RX, I've yet to decide which motor I'll run but I also think it needs to be fast. Will do mate, thanks! 👍

Thanks 👍

Yeah I think so too mate, maybe this is where they got the idea for the Mars Rover lol. Thanks mate, the containers are handy. I took the letter decals off Kyosho parts bags, so I just empty the parts bags into the right tubs and I can move them whenever I need to with forgetting which tub is what. Hopefully it wasn't too boring lol Glad you got something from it mate, there wasn't a lot of tips I could pass on with this one as it's a pretty straight forward build. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed Definitely a top idea with the parts containers, at least I can pack the build away without forgetting what's what👌. I think it was a great build vid, really looking forward to seeing the finished space vehicle👍

@@outbackrcaustralia4895 I often move them out the way to do other things, very handy. Thanks mate. I'll be sending it to Mars soon! 😂

@@RCHobbyShed Nooooo don't do that!!!..... Tamiya kits are too hard to find as it is without people sending them into space!. It might get sucked into the hydrostatic delapidator relief valve of a space crafts jet engine and cause it to crash down on my hobby room😳 Dead set I talk rubbish🥴🤣

I think i was designed to emulate some 80s Japanese Manga cartoon originally.

No probs Jon, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah they look like they can handle some rough stuff. Since I'm still undecided on the motor, maybe I will go brushless and see what it can take. 😁👍

You need to be a bit careful though the A5 part - front arms brace - is a known weak point. But there are 2 options a metal brace or the TL01 e-clip pins.

@@nickrobertson2450 Thanks Nick. I looked for the alloy part a while ago but couldn't find any in stock. Thinking I'll make a brace out of alloy. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed I've got the TL01 pins on a vintage Terra S & the steel brace on my FireD. Whatever you do. Have fun Mick! 😉

@@nickrobertson2450 I ended up bending up a piece of aluminum, looks kinda like a bought one 😂. That's it mate, all about the fun. Cheers Nick! 👍

Thanks mate. Yeah it should be fun. Haha, you're both addicted... and you're gonna need more shelves! 😂

@@RCHobbyShed ha,ha, you're not wrong and I'm trying hard not to look at Tamiyas. Those are very addictive and the kyosho stuff to. Have to have a few beers and a fire to burn all the dam rc boxes . Won't fit in the recycling bin ha,ha,

@@petergoodwin2465 Lol I wish I could have fires here. Same as you, I have a tonne of boxes too. Mine are filling up the trailer since the recycle bin can't keep up. 😂

I think it'll be fine. Will find out I guess. 👍

It does, I'm now thinking a want one with a Boomerang body 🤔 Thanks Owen, I often do my build videos in a similar style. Hopefully not too boring. Haha, I haven't finished the walls yet. Had some rain so I can't move things outside to make space. That's my excuse. 🤣👍

@@RCHobbyShed Yeah I love the boomerang looks too. The shed will take as long as it takes, enjoy 🛠

Yeah it moves nice and smooth, maybe that will change after a run but it's good for now. Just an idea, are you sure the spacer and washers are in the right places on the input shaft?

Thanks mate! Oh nice, they're a really fun buggy. I haven't found the A5 part to be much of an issue at all really. If you saw my running video of the Fire Dragon at the BMX track you'll know I wasn't driving too carefully lol. I think a lot of the talk about the A5 part comes from people running vintage buggies and the old plastics are cracking. That said, I have done A5 upgrades on other cars with this chassis, just in case. I say, if you can afford the upgrade then go for it. If not, wait n see how it goes. Good luck! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed thanks for the tip mate - no point spending money on upgrading A5 until/if it breaks. I'm not racing or thrashing the cars (just a fun park bash) so should be ok for my purposes.

Thanks! I think I'd go for the Thunder Shot, purely because I think they look better. Performance wise, there's really not much (if any) difference as they're essentially the same apart from the Thunder Shot having the single front shock. 👍

Yeah Futaba still make the T2HR. They're around $70-$80AUD, which I guess is around $40-$50US.

This is Tamiya, they don't even give us bearings! 😂🤣

I glue mine 99% of the time. On this one I didn't because they're quite a tight fit (and I got lazy lol), but I may even still glue these before running it. Usually I just glue the tyres regardless of what motor I'm running as it's a pain having them come lose two minutes into a run. 👍

This one is the 2020 the re-release. Yeah, for me it has retro appeal. Same as the Thunder Dragon, it's one I wanted when I was younger but couldn't afford. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed Good for you!

Thanks Harry. Yeah, now I think about it, it would look cool with black arms and black shock too. Just do it! 🤣

@@RCHobbyShed i lookd and its out of stock everywhere in the states

@@tallguygaming409 I got mine from RCMart, they're still in stock there. No excuses mate, just do it! 😂🤣

Shipping is a killer for me haha

@@tallguygaming409 Me too! Could have bought an Avante for the money, but I already have one. 😂

Thanks! 👍

Yes they are. I noticed they're quite soft during the build. On the plus side, maybe they won't break. 🤷‍♂️👍

@@RCHobbyShed I had a Terra Scorcher back in the day. And I remember we were always looking for some harder suspension arms. It is also said that that A5 part was a weak point. Altough I can't remember I ever broke one. Rcmart, Pargu and others has a A5 part option made of aluminium. 😉

@@snapshot_rccars To be honest, I probably won't drive it too often so the arms might not bother me. That A5 part will though, I forgot to order that so will grab a couple! 👍

Thanks! 👊👍

Only bearings so far, and the motor when I decide what I'm using. 👍

Did it come with any bearings in the kit?

@@richardhughes3683 No, the kit only comes with plastic and brass bushes.

Good idea! 👍
