Never knew Nikko made R/C cars other than the toy grade. From my childhood I remember them from the toy store standing next to the Tyco R/C. Thank you for sharing, nice car and nice video.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and your generosity. I really had in mind I wanted to do your proud with this video and share with you and any viewer that could hold an interest what the car was all about, inside out. There is still much to learn and experience with this time capsule but we are off to a good start.
I don’t think it can be overstated how ridiculously thorough you are while building or rebuilding what already appeared to be a perfect car - top notch work as always Jason - also Nikko had no right making a car this good 😄
You humble me Wade, thank you. If you can believe it, this 17 1/2 minute video took me a week of my free time to film and edit but it was worth all of it being able to honour Keith's kindness and generosity by investing and giving back to him and the community who appreciate these things. Thank you again my friend.
Very nice! These are really cool kits and not much on YT about them so all I know of them is pretty much from you and Keith! LOL! Thanks for taking us along on the rebuild!
Thank you Adam. I built up and raced one of these back when our vintage scene was kicking off back around 2007. I raced mine a few times over a couple of years and loved the idea of it. Sadly sold it when I needed to move my family interstate and was in need of the cash to get us there. Soo many regrets but now Keith has gifted me an opportunity to learn more, share more and do more. Really glad that people who have an interest can come along for the ride and experience this with me.
Mate who imported all Nikko stuff to Australia said these all came out of a second Nikko location in Singapore back in the day. They setup these kits as a way to compete with Tamiya. Interesting to see one still going.
@@Bormac073 I hope to get a dandy dash within the week. I have a few tests I want to try, putting it against other Nikkos, Tamiyas, Traxxas, and even a highly modded Tyco
I just have to add another comment so maybe someone out there can help this RC Fan out… I Really Want Buy A Brat Myself 🙏🏻 So if someone out there in RU-vid land or in the RC World I’m definitely serious, maybe let Jason know he knows I’m after one. Sorry for bombarding your comment section Jason
I did see one for sale but maybe 6 weeks ago now. New in box but not sure if it was both boxes? Don't know if you also need a donor car aswell?! Didn't take much notice of it as soon as I saw the price 😢😮 It would have been on either ebay uk or on buyee. Good luck and hope your pockets are deep 😂 👍👌
P.S. just as a bit of trivia for you, the original Avantes had 4 gears/diff. I've got almost limitless confidence that someone (such as yourself, possibly 😀) could actually build an Avante and make it competitive with practice. Especially now they're well-built and don't snap into 16 if you look at them the wrong way :) I'm not a racer (as yet) but with time and patience the Avante can be tamed and it's really rewarding to drive. Just a though old bean.
Well, if you get chance to get in one for reasonable money, I'd say 'Do it!' as being an unquestionably full-blooded RC fanatic such as your good self, I really think you'd get a lot out of the experience. As i say, just a thought for those cold, winter (summer in your case) evenings 😀. Hmmmm...
hi, beautiful work. Do you know where you can find the technical drawings with the frame measurements? I have 5 dandy dashes and 2 super sprints and I would like to transform one into a brat but the kits here in Europe are very rare, so I'm trying to produce it myself
