Tamiya Holiday Buggy Time Attack. Good to be back! 

Thanks for watching guys! Was so darn hot that day. We had to dip the Go Pros in the pool a few times...lol.

I have just purchased a re-re Holiday Buggy for my Daughter and I to play with when we are out walking the dog (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!). I have a 540 Sport Tuned motor and a couple of 3600 Nimh's to provide the juice. This is also a nostalgia trip for me as my Dad bought me the original back in the early 80's, so some 40 years ago. All arriving this week, so hoping to have it all together at the weekend. Thanks for the videos. They are a great watch.

Glad you're back. I really like your videos.

Awesome video as always! Buggy looked excellent round the track and the slo-mo footage was amazing!! Rock on 🤘

Great work the track looks brilliant, and the holiday buggy is a great unit.

I had an original Holiday buggy, back in 82 for Christmas. I loved it and ran it until the rear tyres were bald. I now have 10 rc’s, a mixture of Tamiya and Kyosho. I think your right about the re release Holiday buggy, it really isn’t the same as the original. Love the track in the back garden, wish my wife would let me do the same.

Some regard the re-releases as not classics, which in my opinion is a bit unfair. They're still classics (with some exceptions) but with some way overdue upgrades they could have had back in the day. They're fun and fascinating to build too. Now everyone can buy, build and run a classic without the fear of breaking something as parts are available. The Holliday Buggy is a much needed redesign, again, long overdue, without ruining the looks! And it deals with the track like a champ! Great to see you back my friend!

Always like the content. Had an original Holiday Buggy many moons ago . They looked cool but mechanically were limited.

Looks like a classic. Looked great in slow motion 👍👍

Glad to see you back racing in the yard 👍

The DT02 is definitely a modern chassis.. so I’d agree with your assessment of it. It looks awesome in pink vintage clothing and drives really well around your track.. which looks great btw! Thanks for making this video despite the extreme heat.👏🙌😊

You've done an amazing job with that track, looks perfect in size and layout for vintage 10th scale buggies. Nice to see another bid from you.

Awesome run with the Holiday Buggy, it seemed to hold it's own, nicely done man!!!!

I'm not too surprised it was quicker than the Hornet and Frog since it has better tires and suspension. Your track setup is the perfect shape/size for these buggies...

I'd say the Holiday Buggy is vintage-alike. It takes a lot of inspiration from vintage RC models but utilizes more modern tech to make a car that has that vintage feel to it but with modern durability and capabilities. I wouldn't let the DT02 Holiday Buggy run in a vintage class race if I ran a club track, though.

Epic little buggy these are! Your track is amazing!

The DT02 is a fantastic buggy. It's durable but easy to work on in case it breaks. I actually like it better than the superior handling DT03 for this reason since the tub chassis allows the car to be more modular than the monocoque chassis of the DT03. I just wish the DT02 would allow for LiPo batteries to fit

Great run and great track 👍🏻🍻

I know this is a bit old, but..... you might want to look into doing a "Flame Treatment" on a body like that. Passing a flame over the surface, so I understand anyway, alters the surface of the plastic, improving adhesion of glue and paint. Seen guys that do kit bashing/junk bashing modelling do it for gluing stuff like shampoo bottles together. Give it a google search.

I can fully understand how and why they went this direction on these and just gave them the look and a standard 2wd entry level chassis. This is aimed at newer drivers wanting to start out rather than the re-re market.

Awesome video mate! I have one in the basement waiting, but I still can't decide to paint it or not 🤔 I'd really love to see this with a 540 and oil cva shocks back on the track! That time was incredible 👏

Great video brother 👍🏻🙌🏻 The DT02 chassis has really impressed me but it is not vintage… yet 😁

Love the non-box art

The video quality is great. Keep using the GoPro.

The Holiday Buggy did good. I bet it could set a lap record with a stock silver can 540 motor in it. I know it is not Vintage, but the chassis almost is (first released in March 2005). I run a Sand Viper(DT-02) and it is a lot of fun!

I'm curious what is the width of the track? Also great videos you've been doing.

Do the Subaru brat next if you can

You should see my video on my holiday buggy with oilfilled dampers at a fast motor how well it handles.

You know you can buy a sport tuned motor of the 380.

What paint you use on the shell？

Oh god, what did you do to Steve Irwin??? Lmao

To me vintage RC is old RC’s and rere’s.

I still think they should come out with the original chassis and just enhance it better with better materials.
