A Tamiya Super Sabre, model 58066, released in 1986 and presented to you by IconicRC. This one is running with the vintage MSC and vintage Sanwa radio gear with a standard silver can motor.
Flash Back! omg was about 10yrs old when i got the SS after i had the grasshopper. Every one else had the Hornet thats all i remember how fast the Hornet was but go off-road & the Sabre could catch up in no time. i Still remember how long it took me to assemble that rear gear. I thought seeing the driveshaft was the coolest thing ever
Wooooow brings back memory when I was 11 when me and my brother bought the jeep Wild Willy and we was racing with a friend who had the Super Sabre. Thank you my man for this video 👍😁
I got mine in late 1988 and still have it. I've not run it for a number of years now. The batteries only last about 7 minutes. Seemed fast enough at the time.
A rerelease of the Tamiya Super sabre is coming out this year in a month or so here in Australia this is 5 September 2023. Maybe earlier in Europe and England 👍 you should get one mate👍
Great review and nice to see yours in such good condition. I just remember mine being so much slower than my mate's Hot Shot II. Even when i put ball racers in it.
I like your vids i checked out your other vid showng your collection laid out on the garden made me feel a little better as i have around the same amount of cars lol. once you are bitten by the collectors bug it pretty hard to stop buying them are you a member of tamiyaclub or tamiyabase? they are both friendly collectors sights? my super sabre had the same problem with the rear arms splitting in fact most parts on it were damaged and needed replacing which wasnt cheap but it looks great sitting on the shelf :)
Another great video! I don't remember this model at all, I think I might have been losing interest in the hobby during this stage of my life. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Where do I go to get an IconicRc t-shirt?
