Sooo, after watching this this video I’ve now decided to build the HB that’s been sat in its box for the past year. I am surprised at how your video makes it look well controlled though standard shocks are installed. Thanks for the top class video
RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 Thanks a lot for your compliment! It's not easy to keep the level high, but when we try our best it's good! And the most important thing is to have fun with!
hi matteo I have seen most of your videos and think your number 1 at it. I have got back into vintage rc cars again and just picked up a vintage holiday buggy! they bring back so many good memories. I've kept my collection to 6 car's. I've two sand scorchers rough rider. lunchbox. brat and holiday bug. keep on buggying!!! look forward to more of your videos!!
What a great video. I had *countless* hours of fun with my original Holiday Buggy in the early 80s. Presume this new one is fully sealed - a trip in the water like you did would have killed my one instantly :O
I also have the old version, now updated with an ESC and LiPo battery but otherwise all the original parts. Not much in common with the remake. This new version is much faster and better handling.
Best Holiday Buggy video ever!!!!!!! Only 4mods' "Holiday Buggy rocks loco!" comes close. Those Carson tires & wheels make it look so badass!! Your other videos are awesome too. Please, please, please do videos of Monster Beetle (re-release due later this year ☺), Nova Fox, Super Hotshot, Clod Buster, and Frog. The challenge has been made😉
Hey man. You make the beat RC videos, love all your rerelease videos. Tamiya should use then! Awesome work and great to see these being used. Keep up the inspiring work.
First off, thanks Matteo for another great RC video, and the link to purchase these awesome tires. Just ordered them and they do send outside Germany. Was in the same mindset as you DustyFingers, considering a purchas, after watching this video and managing to accuire these same wheels it's a must have. Hope you still enjoy your Holiday Buggy, know I will once assembled. Cheers, Matteo fan in Norway ;-)
Definitively a great video. Makes me want to buy one also. I was wondering about the water footage. The vehicle from what I understand is not waterproof. Doesn't it risk to short the electric motor or ESC or the servo? Did you make some modifications?
You better ask tamiya for sales commission, coz this vid makes me want to go out and buy a holiday buggy........ Great vid really shows off the car !!!
Yes, this is cool! I like this stock class racing categories. The fun is in the right focus there. Not this over engineered high tech classes. Thanks for your fine feedback!
Hi there, Love your videos. I finally gotten myself the Tamiya Holiday Buggy , you inspired me. I want to make my car fun to play exactly like yours. I bought the sports tune motor with 18T pinion. I'm building the kit soon, but before that, may i know what servo do you use and what brand&model of your radio. Hope you don't mind sharing. Wishing you happy new year! cheerS!
Dets6 Congrats to your new buggy! I use the Futaba 4PL, 4 channel radio. www.futaba-rc.com/systems/futk1410-4pls/index.html It offers a lot of good functions for all my models. And as servo, in last time I use waterproof servos, to get no problems in water. It's from hittec. hitecrcd.com/products/servos/waterproof-servos-2/hs-646wp-high-voltage-high-torque-analog-waterproof-servo/product

Hi, I have a Tamiya Holiday Buggy and I ran out of rear and front wheels but I can't find them anywhere, so could you upload me the link of the wheels you mounted? Thanks
thanks, this was my first rc, except I'm got the red one, I love it, but I only drive it on the pavement, I will make a vid about mine soon, after christmas, when i get the black can motor on it
I had one in the mid-eighties, I,m sure the poor little bloke who was sitting in the driving seat had a terrified look on his face every time I disconnected the quick charger, it met it,s end under a local no 87 bus due to a cack handed mate.
No, not hard, but you have to chose the right colors, Tamiya TS Spray colors with a first layer of Surface Primer. And as the best way, you have to sand the body with fine sand (600) paper before painting.
Matteo, I'm observing your bodywork with the decals, did you put that light-blue decal on the rear side of the body, instead of above the front fenders? It looks really great!
Thinking about getting one of these so build and use with my 5 year old nephew. Have a LandFreeder but I think that is too much for him. Do you think a 5 year old could learn with this or should I go with rising fighter? His garden is bumpy so needs to be able to ride those bumps.
Hi Matteo, would you ever consider doing a how to video on narrowing the DT02 chassis the match the width of the original holiday buggy. I've been thinking how much better the wheels look actually inside the wheel arch's. Just sorta thinking out loud. 😀
Matteo's RC Movies what's the chances of you doing one properly. Most of the ones I've seen are not very thorough. I know if you do one, it would be done right. You are a very busy guy. Maybe it was wrong of me to ask. Sorry. On another note, would you know the tamiya re release part number of the subaru brat wheels please. I can't find it anywhere. Have you seen the latest tamiya rc releases, the Citroën 2 cv, WOW. the Isuzu mu and the others. Holy guacamole batman,,,,,,,, amazing rc's. I'm gonna be skint from buying these kits. 😀 👍 👍 👍 👍
No, surely not wrong to ask, but you're right I'm very busy and this is not on the top of my to do list. Have you seen this from Tamiya America: www.tamiyausa.com/articles/feature.php?article-id=475#.WniQPa0lx-U Yes, the Citroen and Isuzu are cool! And the Lancia...
Awesome videos~~ I also build my holiday buggy now, and with DT-02 chassis, but I don't like the buggy tires. May I ask you what tires you use for your holiday buggy??
Thank you! The wheels are from Carson Modellsport www.carson-modelsport.com/de/produkte/carson-modelsport/zubehoer/reifenraeder-11085/1-10-reif-felgen-set-all-terrain-schw-500900027/
Hey there,great videos, all of em!!! Your vids have encourage me to get either the holiday buggy or the sand rover. I cant decide between these two, can you share some of your thoughts? which one is better;handling,rough use,fun. CheerS!
Hi Matteo, just watched this video, awesome..... What wheels and tyres are you using, I don't want to destroy my original tyres. Man that buggy looks and goes great. 😀 👍 👍 👍
Thanks Mike! Oh, this was a tire / wheel set from Carson, let me see if it's still avialable: shop.carson-modelsport.com/carson_en/carson/carson-accessories/wheels-tires/buggy-tirewheel-set-all-terrain-bl22-500900027-en.html Out of stock, but they have some similar products.
Matteo's RC Movies hi Matteo, I got the information off your comments section when someone else asked for information on the wheels and tyres. So hopefully I will get them shortly. Thanks for taking the time to help me. 😀 👍 👍 👍
+Lander F Thanks! I hold the camera on the right hand and the controller on the left. Can control the pistol transmitter by one hand. Control the throttle with the forefinger, and the steering with the thumb.
Minsung Suh Thanks! The tires and wheels are "Buggy Tire Wheel Set All Terrain" from Carson Modelsport. But these are not longer available. I found this new / similar product: www.carson-modelsport.com/de/produkte/zubehoer/reifenfelgenusets110112118/produktdetails.htm?sArtNr=500900134
Hi Matteo! I'm about to buy this car and I'd like to know if you're running the stock 380 motor or something with more power Thanks for the great videos!!
hi looking at this one & the sandrover they both come with 380 motors where would i find the motor mount needed to use a brushed 540 motor ? awesome video by the way thanks have fun RCing
Budget Guy RC You can install a 540 motor without problems. The only thing you need is a 17 tooth pinion gear. Here you can find some informations: www.tamiyausa.com/articles/feature.php?article-id=475#.VZZ65HbSqZQ
those shocks look like their working amazingly, what oil and piston did you use, are they tamiya shocks? seems you spent a good time making them very smooth and plush.
***** yeah when the rear are tight they just rub really bad to the point of hardly moving when you put the power on. I've started to file the insides of the wheels down.
v6hot I seen your video and compare it with my Holiday Buggy, the wishbones are the same, but I have enough space on the wheels, maybe different wheels?
Hi, what chassis and wheels does this buggy have? I have a 2010 HB body that I need to get a chassis for and cannot find a DT02 kit to buy seperately. Could you help?
It's DT-02. But you can only buy the complete car. But it's not expensive. Wheels are buggy tire set from Carson. But it looks as it discontinued. www.carson-modelsport.com/de/produkte/carson-modelsport/zubehoer/reifenraeder-11085/1-10-reif-felgen-set-all-terrain-schw-500900027/
