That Super Dog Fighter looked awesome, seemed to run and handle really well, and sounds good too. Brilliant stuff!!

One interesting factoid is that the Technituned was the one motor from the 'techni' trio of motors that was NOT included in any of the high-performance 4WD kits (The Supershot got the Technipower, while the Bigwig, 959 and Avante got the Technigold). I wonder why that was.

I have a AA championship edition. Was thinking about selling also have box motors ext.

Nice. I'm digging the auto turntable display feature.

Amazing 👏

Drive it till the wheels fall off! LOL! It looked great out there on the track and I am sure you both had a great time with it!!

As smooth sounding as I remember my original dogfighter back in the late 80's. Love it. Bought the re re but can't afford to buy radio gear and everything to go in it to drive it... The car alone cost $850 over here in Aus and that was more than I shouldda spent lol.

Nice to see it out, it sure is a great buggy, loads of upgrades out there for it now aswell. Ive seen some with few original parts on it, its cheaper to just buy the parts and not the kit 😂

the track could do with a little bit of love , but so nice to see one of these running.. great job

The Super Dog Fighter on his element 😊 Amazing 🤩🤝

Dog fighter in its natural habitat! old school car on old school track.. and yeah.. the open drive train was its biggest weakness back in the day also 😊

The track needs to be groomed.

You've had no racing this year.It's upsetting me.

Is your house almost completely fixed?

I was unsure about this kit, as I am mainly a Tamiya/kyosho fan, but watching how smooth and well it runs I might have to change my mind. Very nice

nice bit of winning rc history.

It's a piece of art. Love it. I'll have fun taking out my frustrations on my old Tamiya bashers

I have a built runner raider, two NIB red raiders, a new built Turbo Raider, and a Raider Pro NIB. Some day I'll build all of them except maybe the NIB original raider. I may set up a dorama with the open box of the original raiders blister packs showing and a built raider in front of it. Yepp...raider was also my first real RC. I was lucky to start collecting these raiders before the re re craze, way back in the 90s

Looking forward to a new video on the Triumph 👍🏻I never had one myself, but I loved it back in the day, hop to se more content on it 👍💯

One of the most important revisions for me is the metal gear train. It weighs a ton but can probably handle any motor you can throw at it!

I have been so excited about the Rc10 rere’s. I have the mini 2 and T. I wish they would have gone the other way with these and went 1/8 scale. All the old guys would have felt like a kid again with a bigger version.

Thank you for video, it was 1rst real RC "car" that I drive more than 35 years ago,it is definitely my next buy over R3000 in South Africa 😢

Thank YOU GREAT VIDEO,YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL MY FRIEND

In the UK kits never came “ factory sealed “. Did Tamiya really shrink wrap every kit ? Would the UK importer or model stores unwrap them ??

Got the Wayne’s World reference before you named it. 🤘

Love the paint scheme! Looks way better than box art. Having built the Re-release Optima Mid I agree...these kits are top notch. The only issue with these buggies is installing modern electronics. Great build and I love the way it turned out.

Looks great 👍

I would love a re-release of Tamiya's TRF 1/10 4WD buggies.

Where is this track?

Brilliant

My local shop has one and I'm wanting it, problem is....I bought the white one before the word's was released. I bought all the option House parts, I mean all, dual ball diff, Titanium rods, carbon upper and lower decks and 2 sets of universal drive shafts fron and rear, aluminum hubs, all the extra bearings etc. I even picked up the Lemans 240speed control and the 240 Gold brushless motor. I can tell you from experience buying the world's is a cheaper way to go. They only thing that pissed me off is that it's impossible getting parts for this car. I had an original Optima mid se back in the day and raced it for years and regretted selling, so this was my chance right! I've bought and extra belt and tires, body. Unfortunately I wish Kyosho released more parts. I might still get the world's just because the Mid is my favorite car from the era, even over my Kyosho Lazer ZXR. I do agree Kyosho is definitely a cut above, the fit and finish, the over all quality is just outstanding! We just need more parts lol. Mine is probably going to be a shelf queen for the most part, but I do want to stretch it's legs once and a while. Great video, Cheers!

Looks great!

That car came out really nice Ari. Paint scheme really hits the mark too. Thanks for sharing this content with us.

Such a beautiful buggy!

So cool!

I had the tamiya Manta ray for my first proper rc car - later i had a schumacher cougar 2 works , which was awesome - wish id never sold them and still had them now!

Honestly this is the first one I have really liked. That paintjob looks amazing. Really sweet!

Are you gonna run it in the deep woods?Racewayou have done any of those videos on that.

I hear the paint if you want it box art is very hard to duplicate.

Turned out beautiful. ❤️

I wish kyosho would re release nitro kits.

You did a great job. I don't know about US kits of the normal Optima Mid but i got universals, not dog bones as you mention

Love the video!! Do you know if there’s gonna be a rerelease of the TOMSE?

Raced mine a few times ball diff didn't last long. Changed to the gear diff and shorter optima belt. Only rear suspension broke after a day on the grass. Good buggy came 6th against modern day buggies.

100% i mean i love my OptimaMid, but i wish i got this instead! :)

Not feeling it, sorry.

Looks really good!

The older kits look so much better than all the generic new stuff.

I have an optima MID re-release and thought about buy-in one of these. As you mentioned, it is expensive. Which is why I did not get one. However, you also mentioned the optional parts which makes this a more interesting kit to get. I think you can still buy one of these even though it is a limited edition. Thoughts?
