This is not a kit I am very familiar with, this may sound like a really stupid question but as its called the 'Buggy Champ/Racing Buggy' can you build 2 different cars with the kit? Obviously iv seen it in the blue box art and also in the red box art! Is it just a colour choice or is there more to it than that? Any help would be greatly appreciated 👍 Love the video and that classic Tamiya layout and presentation is next level 👌 every kit i have ever had with blister packs has been a real struggle to build 😅 just feels like you shouldn't cut them open and they should be left and admired! Maybe it's just me, i don't know 😁🤷

No I feel shame, you got your built and running around the track and mine is still sitting in the basement with a clear body on it LOL!! I have not wanted to tap it all up and paint it yet. One of these days I guess. I am sure it drives well, it feels really nice on the bench. I really was let down they did such a terrible job on the instructions. I have passed up on the two releases since this as I was not interested in the on-road kit and the new buggy is cool but I am not spending another $400 to get another gold pan car. Once the do the graphite kit I will get one of those. I am glad you had such a good racing experience with it and hopefully next time the gopro comes along for the trip. I wouldn't do something like that or even delete the footage LOL!!
