Tamiya Holiday Buggy knock off???

Quote

Post by transamman908 » Wed Feb 17, 2010 4:39 pm

Anyone know what the name of the company was that made the knock off of the Tamiya Holiday Buggy back in the day? It had a black body shell vs. the blue shell and its own kind of electrics but everthing else was a spot on match. A friend was asking and i'm drawing a blank on this one. Thank you in advance

That is one also. I sold the car and never did find out the company who produced it.

It looks like the producer is still unknown. Here is a link to the black one: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=116&id=25

Wasn't it Kraft or Futaba?

Before this year ends. 8)
The street price would be cheaper than their entry-level rc vehicles.
I'll update when I get more info on it.

I'd never forget the FXT as it just might be my favorite stadium truck of all time. :) I have a NIB one sitting right here next to me that I really need to build.

Saw this on eBay:

Looks a lot like a Holiday Buggy but with toy grade RTR electronics ? Never knew it existed , pretty cheap , shame the chassis is not identical as it's not broken :cry:

I have to be honest here; I never saw a Holiday Buggy until about 6 months ago. Back in the day, the only Tamiyas I paid attention to were trucks, and I was out of RC when the Re-Res came out, so yea, just never knew they existed. Then I saw one,...

The Golden Arrow body is awesome on there! The holiday buggy body reminds me of a stretched VW Manx buggy, kinda like Speed Buggy.

I guess this is where Tamiya got the Holiday Buggy design.

I found this on another site, thought I'd post it here. I honestly didn't know it was based on an actual car.

Last post

Those cars are FUGLY! :shock: I have a good friend who had one of those as a first car. He thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread. :roll:

There seems to be a following for any weird little hobby you can think of. :lol:

Um, excuse...

Via a direct link from a member of this forum (Thanks Dadio!), I ended up in possession of an Extratoy Holiday Buggy. This is known to be a clone of the Tamiya Holiday Buggy, and sure, that is probably true, but at the same time, I wasn't there, so...

I think the appeal to the copy would be very similar to the appear of the Tamiya Holiday Buggy , what the kid really wanted was a Rough Rider but that's mucho expensive so the parent gets the Holiday buggy , if the kid accepts the Rough Rider is off...

Hi,

I have an original Tamiya Holiday buggy less electronics. I was wondering what RX, TX and servos were the choice back in 1982?

I have seen a number around with the Acoms radio (dont remember the model)? I would like to finish this buggy off to...

Last post

Acoms 227 MkII is the one you had seen, I have 2 unrestored sand scorchers that came with it, so I think it's correct period equipment for 1979 to 1982 or so

Futaba in those early years had a primitive 2 channel alloy bodied transmitter with a...
