Really Different! 1985 Tamiya Fox RC Vs 2017 Novafox ReRe. 

@ADB7D Fox Racing is now a trademark of Fox head inc so they won’t be allowed to use it

Not easy to find a good vintage FOX these days but the Nova is 👍🏻

Yep we all did that back in the day. So many lovely cars and all the amazing box artwork :)

100% lol

Thanks for the epic comment Scott. I love hearing about childhood RC stories. 👍🏻👍🏻.

Unfortunately Rebecca is extremely busy with her own work, so it doesn’t leave much time for her. That and looking after the kids and everything that entails.

@@RCKickschannel in all seriousness, your videos are top notch. Well done, bringing RC family together.

That’s the issue with owning a vintage NIB kit. To build it or not

I think so too Paul!

LOL nope

Good luck. I’ve restored a few Falcons on the show

Be very careful with the Falcon front end,brakes easily.

Thats strange as that part is in the manual.

@@RCKickschannel They were for when you were using a 5 cell 6v pack or a 6 cell 'hump' battery I think Gav 👍

I actually found the parts (fillers) in my stash.

Ask around on the tamiya Facebook groups, put out a post on the tamiya buy and sell group and save a search on eBay

Oh and that was July 1987 by the way..

Sounds like it was for sale in the UK but hard to find due to low stock levels

This does happen, especially on my 959 and old Vanquish.

The Fox is undervalued as a vintage buggy as people think the NovaFox is the same. It’s actually different in a load of ways from the bizarre steering servo setup that was only ever on the Fox, to the rear driveshafts, MSC with two resistors giving that fantastic vintage look or the rare front ARB that is unique to the Fox. All these things result in a not so easy vintage buggy to restore.

Stupidly low at 6,000 ish. Really unless you have savings, you need to be around 60-90k subs before you can call it just about a living wage. Currently even with the Patreon support, it's well below minimum wage and thats three videos a week, fifty two weeks of the year. That said you have other benefits like being your own boss, flexible hours when needed it and no Sunday night, Monday morning feeling. That's a big one for me.

No

Most likely.

You would think prior art would play into affect.

@@RCKickschannel unfortunately the art isn't the name, the art in itself is owned by the designer so, they can lose the name but not the design, which is why copyright is a must on names but, that needs to be kept up to date as most copyright run out after ten years so need to be reaplied.

@SteveQ Tamiya's buggy has Fox racing team that's why they can't use it because there is now a company called Fox Racing team that uses that name and has it registered. Aston Martin copyrighted the name Vanquish when it started making the car in the 90s after tamiya stopped making it's version. They are not that hard to figure out, and artistic licence is not the same thing, the design is separate from the name, the design can be licenced out and renamed with different badging, the design stays the same and owned by whoever designed it unless it is sold. If you want to check copyrights there is a website for that. As for the other Fox brands they have variation in the name and would be registered as such so they are not the same thing and Fox news didn't even exist when the Fox buggy was being sold first time around anyway. All the other buggies name have not been used by other companies or are things that can't be copyrighted I.E. like a boomerang which is a thing that's been around for thousands of years and had no predeposite as an owned design and would be considered an every day item like a knife, fork or spoon.

@SteveQ just did the same search for fox racing and the same result, quote " there will be a conflict of interest " and a massive list of all fox racing trade marks.
