Building the Super Hotshot classic Tamiya RC Car 

That is true

I bought some “JIS” ones on Amazon and, despite glowing reviews, were terrible. Bought the Tamiya ones for a few quid more and was reminded of the old adage, “buy cheap, buy twice” 😂

Loads of content coming your way

Hope it survives on the track

Race buggies go faster if you don't paint the wing :D

Exactly

@@Droidy77 This ain't a race buggy my friend 😉

@@mad-beerc3818 it's a *super* race buggy 😄

@@Droidy77 Haha Super Hot! Tweaked they could be very good in their day! I raced a Boomerang back in the 80s to good effect its great to see the Boomerang rere again!

Cheers mate

Nice one, thanks buddy👍

Cheers Daniel

You are right, apparently it’s much faster with an upside down bumper😂👍

Gonna be a fun drive

Cheers buddy Not sure about solder

Cheers buddy

10-15 minute videos work for me, I would rather longer footage put into part 1+2 some RU-vid videos especially RC ones can drag on too long and it's easy to loose interest and try to skip to the actual point of the video. I think you guys have it spot on. Tea break viewing. Would have liked to have seen more about the electrics set up as I'm sure many of us more senior racers would love to know what brushless set ups would work well in the rere versions of the cars that we really wanted in our youth. Especially when it comes to lipos that go well in these buggies. That may inspire people to get an 80s Tamiya buggy and run a few Plastic Fantastic races at meets

Good to know

How did the gears hold up

There was this computer game in the 1980s called Wonder Boy in Monster Land where you could upgrade your equipment and some of the most expensive was Ceramic Boots. Maybe Tamiya make ceramic grease out of the same stuff??? I've got a whole baggie full of AW grease pots (I think that's why universal joints are so expensive) for diffs, but I only ever got one tube of ceramic grease!
