The Tamiya BB-01 BBX is a Brand New Tamiya! Not a Re-Release or an old chassis, this a brand new RC Car. I've put a Castle 7700Kv Motor in mine paired to a Copperhead 10 ESC. So Smooth!

Tip for doing the snap rings I've always used, I pull out a clear plastic bag that's large enough for the part, tool and my hands and do the assembly inside the bag. Then on the off chance it "pings" and shoots off it will almost definitely end up inside the bag instead of lost in the void. I do this for anything I'm building/assembling that is small and has a part under tension like a spring, snap ring, etc. Works a treat and has saved my butt many times for just the cost of a ziploc gallon freezer bag. This buggy reminds me of the Grasshopper I had when I was a kid nearly forty years ago, I might have to order one of these!

You know, it might be old, but it`s a recipe that has worked for them since the 70`s and 80`s, an example is the Hornet, my first hobby grade RC car, it was a fun entry level RC 40 years ago, and it`s a fun entry level RC today, Tamiya has been a beloved brand in RC for a LONG time, and I suspect they will continue to be just that for a long time to come ;) I still have a list of at least 10 Tamiya cars I still want, not because they`re better than Arrma or any of the other extreme bashers, but because they`re quirky and fun. Also, no force on heaven or earth will ever make me buy "HPIjustbrokefornoreason and come with front axles too short and the spur gear held in place by soft plastic fastened by machine screws in soft plastic (moronic design) like the RS3 sport Flux that`s broken out of the box and literally cannot be fixed because the motor is stuck to the motor mount and the motor mount has pre-stripped hex screws that either just rotate or are completely stuck" Literal garbage. Or Trash`ass ever again, where you`re better off buying a chassis and ALL the rest as upgrade parts from other companies. Who sells a 3-400 dollar RC car with a powerful brushless motor and PLASTIC axles smh, JUST to sell new axles is why.. Tamiya might be oldfashioned, but it`s dependable and fun, and that`s better than extreme performance for 5 minutes in many people`s minds.

Really good to see a Tamiya kit that is up-to-date with Hex hardware, decent shocks and bearings! Makes them much better value for such small changes. Hopefully it's a sign of them waking up to the fact that relying on Nostalgia for sales isn't good long-term. Tamiya have felt like a sleeping giant for a very long time now, if they can produce more kits to this type of standard (and better) then they can easily lead the market for quality scale cars. Leave the big stuff to the others and focus on their core strengths. A decent carpet racer, crawler and Touring car chassis to this level would be mint.

When you say make better quality kits do you mean chassis + scale shell kit?

Honestly i would be ok with minimal elecs too. But ya chassis and body would keep cost down to make it more noticable on the market. They make a type R for 150 that is pretty nice. But it doesnt have body or elecs and gears

@keeganlong8073 10 ай бұрын

I have several Tamiya models, they are the Tamiya Hornet, Tamiya Super Hornet, Tamiya Grasshopper, Tamiya Fast Attack Vehicle. I replaced all of the nylon bearings with steel bearings, added RS-540 enginges to all of the above models and the speed, handling and overall smoothness of the ride is incredible. Next thing I want to do is swap most of the brushed RS-540 engines for either Traxxas 550 engines or brushless and the speed controllers, so I can run LiPo batteries.

@kristofferrydquist8384 9 ай бұрын

⁠@@keeganlong8073the TBLE speed controllers included in the new Tamiya kits I bought handles both brushed and brushless, as well as NiMH and Lipo. Lunchbox and Pajero for example. Ball bearings is a must, as you write. When I was a kid I made brass bearings in the lathe as I could not afford ball bearings. 😊

It was 1982. I was 9 years old and I had saved up enough money raking the neighbors' leaves and mowing their lawns to purchase the Tamiya Rough Rider. I spent at least a week building it and painting the body. Putting the decals and lights all in the right spots. I had never spent that much time on a body before as I was not really into model making, but I did love RC cars and I thought this thing would look so cool. -- It's all done and while I know it's for the dirt I just wanted to do a couple quick passes on my street before my dad came home to drive me somewhere I could really use it.-- I got a little too excited and gunned it on the last run. It rolled about 87,000 times ... or at least it seemed the way to my 9 year old brain. What were once perfectly aligned decals, smooth paint and beautifully mounted lights ... were all shaved off, broken or torn. I remember even one of the "driver roll bars" snapped. -- Boy did I learn a lesson that day. I've yet to ever invest more than minutes on painting a body since. -- Loved the video ... but it was also triggering. :)

So pleased you didn't crash it on the first run, it really is a beauty and too good to smash up. I think you might be right about it being the best in 40 years, although (apart from the looks) the TD4 is on the same level in terms of plastics, hardware and design. Love the way mine drives.

I just want to see how it preforms before I buy another esc motor combo. Or maybe I will get something different to put it in if the buggy doesn't preform well. I know it is an off road buggy but everyone likes a bit of speed now and then lol. Keep up the good work. I love you videos and you actually got me into RC!

@@jabezhane The carbon chassis parts were very expensive back then, so I copied the shape and made my own version out of fibreglass. I put the good aluminium shocks on it, and full bearings, and I think I had a mid-90s Tekin speed controller. I can't remember if I put a Kyosho or Trinity modified motor in it but it was a good bit quicker than stock! Suspension was better controlled but the travel was still rubbish though. 🙂

Looks like an Associated RC10 from back in the day. That was a great RC car.

Nice video, thanks you, it's funny to see it on the road again ! Now you have to look up for the "Egress Black Edition" ;)

I think i've picked a very good time to begin getting into Tamiya kits. It all started with the announcement of their new MB-01 chassis and the Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR kit.
