So I was looking at getting myself and my son a tamiya kit to build for Christmas, but it most basic kits are out of stock just about everywhere. What gives?!?

Also check Hobby Kings USA warehouse. They have random stock but it’s usually at a great price

Maybe a hornet or something. Last T kit I did was a grass hopper about 9 years ago with my oldest son when he was ten. This one is only six but loves the workbench and is way more mechanically inclined than his brother.

Amain has several tamiya kits. Bought my monster beetle from them recently.

Since the 2.25 outdrives are discontinued (ASC6577 & 6578), I was wondering what the difference(s) are between them and ASC7667 & 7668 (RC10GT Stealth)?

The body looks a little off or something, maybe it's the blue or something.

or maybe 'A Bodge Too Far'. an ebay purchase from France that I might have paid too much for but I see hours of tinkering ahead of me.

A Grasshopper transmission, Holiday Buggy body, and 'customised' chasis by someone pretty good at sheet metal...

To answer the title, the answer is ALWAYS Tamiya :lol: :lol:

Looks like the Tamiya Fox is next on the re-re list! :D

Last post

Nice one. My first real r/c was the Fox, and I have a thing for black too. Here it is as it sits today, the same as it was the last day I drove it back in the early 90s. If I get a re-re I'll probably make it a duplicate of this car to run.

I have had this kit for many years now, as well as all of the hop parts that are being installed. Finally have some spare time to build this buggy. Yes, BUILD it.

First of all, I realize that the Tamiya Astute was an over/under engineered buggy...

If you are a Car lover and you DON'T follow SPEEDHUNTERS you are missing out.

A recent article about Tamiya, so I wanted to share with the Hobby Brethren.

Damn, and I was just in Shizuoka a few months ago! Had no idea that was there. Probably wouldn't have had time to visit it anyway, was on a pretty tight schedule. Maybe next time I'm out there...

I recently picked up a very nice Tamiya Juggernaut 2. The Jugg has always been my favorite monster truck platform. I've owned about 5 Jugg/TXT variations over the years, but haven't had one for quite a while. When this one came up on ebay and had a...
