Tamiya Baja King TL01B 4wd Off Road RC Racer. Not just a Beginner RC Buggy, Kit 58301 

best looking of the TL01 buggy, like Tamiya was going for an RC10 look, a clear wing on that would look nice if you can find one

I’d buy both the Baja King and Baja Champ if Tamiya re-released them. I like how they look.

Massive score!

Nice, I didn't know this car until yet. It had it's time, when I builded RC boats. But I'm now interest to add one to my collection. 26 ball bearings is very astonishing. Don't think the Avante has that number.

Nice buy 👍🏻

I’ve got the wrx tl01 with all the hop ups sport tuned gears ect runs great never had a problem. Always felt a TL01 chassis has a better centre of gravity than day the TT01. Oh don’t forget to paint your race trucks wheels red centre’s 😝😝

The Baja King /Champ look decent like a proper buggy never owned one, or these chassis simply because if i need to get to the front gearbox i would have to dismantle a fair bit first, you got a good deal there Adam especially with those rare spire spike tyres lol.

How funny, 2 weeks ago I also purchased myself a used Baja King with box. It came with a steering servo and fully ballraced, but without motor /esc for 48 euros. :D

The Baja Champ was my first kit I built back in the day

I had a Baja champ with some upgrades tamiya oil shocks ball raced quick release battery holder adjustable tierods tamiya RZ motor aluminium shaft.. Handles great. Will go wherever you point it. Doesn't jump vert well though .

They are alright runners, specially with a brushless combo in them on a 2s lipo, like 4300 kv on 2s lipo moves pretty well. Bit tall gear ratio on them though along with the chassis halves not sealing properly, at least the hbx max buggy i had didnt, so it lets in dust in through the bottom over time unless you tape it along the underside completely, shock tower plastic is also a bit on the brittle side.

I’d love to get a hold of a Baja King! Already got the Baja Champ

I've got one of the dumb old Baja king clones, bit of a wreck atm but I can probs get her working again

Would love to have one of thoose Baja Kings, they look cool. Seems like you did a really good deal on the one you found.

picked up some one way diffs for my TA03's and now TL01's I see they are compatible

I never liked these when l first saw them because l felt they were a poor effort by tamiya compared with the previous 4wd buggies produced! I do realise they are more for beginners but they just did not do it for me! But l have definitely changed my opinion these days!👍I actually really like the looks of them now especially the King and probably more then the champ too! and as you said Adam the chassis is good and these make good solid runners! The King is definitely on my to get list! Nice colour yours too and shocks match up nicely 😉👍 I should add a few years has passed since they were first released and that makes the deal a whole lot sweeter! Cheers James.

its a good car but u will find if u run it on dirt u will find that all the steering will lock up because dirt will get into your links ( i have the same as you) and u wont be able to move over time and the front gear box too u will find it gets into it all so as for on road its great car goes fast as well handle well if u upgrade the shocks i put cva on my one but i change the spring to a bigger size one where do u find someone to paint the body? in australia

One of the rarest Kit, unfortunately I'm not able to secure one,when I try to buy one in a local Hobby Shop here in the Philippines,

Very interesting video Adam - a Tamiya kit that I know little about as I my collection mostly comprises re-releases of Tamiya’s first 100 buggies. Out of curiosity, have you experienced brittle plastics when purchasing and working on older Tamiya kits? Do you run ‘vintage’ cars like this or just display them for fear of breakages?

Hate to see any road rash on the TTO1 truck. Now for the Baja King...just not that appealing even with the upgrades. Maybe is very good for entry level.

Do you know of any black oil filled shocks that will fit on this ?

how is it u say tl01 when its tl01b? why that?
