Tamiya Holiday Buggy Unboxing | What do you get in the box? 

This is a great kit! You will enjoy it.

Needs a Paul Hogan action figure to match the box.

I own a DT-02 chassis, and it's a fantastic "bit of kit". I run the stock friction shocks. For me, for the full experience, the shocks are "pogo or no go".

You guys will love the DT02 and there is no better than a Holiday Buggy. Love the way this buggy handles. Good luck with the painting dude 🙌🏻

Great unboxing guys..... It's always fun delving into a new Tamiya kit! Looks like a fun kit, and the chassis seems to receive a lot of love in general within the community. As for the paint job- 'Where there's will, there's a way'..... I'm sure you will be able to pull it off, and am looking forward to seeing what you do with it! Torque tuned should bring that thing to life nicely to. Watch this space as they say! 👍 👍 👍

Awesome presentstion. This'll gonna be a great build. You added just the right upgrade for the car. Same toughts about the paint as you had. Best wishes that it'll work. I'm really curious about the other purchase.

The HB is a fun kit. Putting some oil dampers on it will make it a ton more enjoyable to drive, it is very bouncy in the rear on the friction dampers. Looking forward to seeing it ripping around and what it ends up looking like!

Great stuff! I really enjoyed building the Holiday Buggy. I mostly went box art but with a few changes but I left it with the standard 380 motor for now. I'll be very curious to see how the painting works out.

I have a 17 turn motor in it and oil-filled dampers.

I like the holiday buggy with a 540. Based off a real vw kit buggy called the stripper.

You should have got it and put a dirt tuned motor in it.

Awesome kit, interesting thoughts on the Torque Tuned motor. I feel like you talked me into getting one

You are aware you're going to have to mess temperature to make that body take paint. They tell you can't the body.

It's a bugger to paint,even with plastic primer,but a great vehicle.Stick on the oil shocks and put a faster motor in. Good fun

awesome!!!

I think the body is made from a polythene type plastic which paint doesn't like to adhere to. The manual even says that the body is not able to be painted. I'm looking forward to seeing if you are successful with painting it.

Do a speed run with the 380 vs 540.🤔🤔🤔

The body is polyethylene which makes it difficult, but not impossible, to paint. Google "flame treatment holiday buggy" and it should pull up a video on you tube from someone who has used this method. It's common industry practice for these plastics. Good luck!
