I am in for the R91CP. Hope is comes with a factory painted body. The painting wasn't that hard on the original kit but cutting out the decals was a real pain.

The "Dune Buggy Street" sounds interesting.

Wait a minute isn't the DT02 whats under the Holiday Buggy? They're really wringing every last penny out of that platform aren't they?

their was a guy running a Holiday buggy running at the Vonats it was a plastic chassis Tamiya, but it ran good and he had a great time. looked Great on the track and handled alot better than I expected all he did was put some oil shocks on it.

[proffesso]

need to see what they are first.

avante / sand scorcher style? win

sand rover re style? no thanks

Feb 58513 RCC Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 （TT-01 TYPE-E） ¥12,800 has my interest, provided its a proper re-re

[rhino1]

RC Mud Blaster II
Item #58514

I seen on this on their web site. Mudblaster II I bet its on the Wild Dagger chassis. They have a Frog chassis why not do it in the original version.

Doubt it's a proper re-re, seeing as it says TT-01 chassis..... and the original was 1:12 with an ABS body. Will be interesting to get the body though, even if it is lexan....

oh...didnt see the TT01...forget it then :/

Whats wrong with the Sand Rover rere the original was junk, this platform may not be the best they have but its much better than the original? I just got one but I havent opened it yet. my son is giveing it to me for Christmas. I for one cant wait and have been waiting a long time to have one that looks like a proper Dune Buggy

[proffesso]

junk as it may have been, it was the way it was.

I never picked up the P34 (6 wheeler) re-releases because it was based on a standard onroad chassis with a clear lexan shell.

its just dissapointing for me that some of these new re-re's are is just a body (and a lexan, not hardshell at that)

would you be all over a rc10 re re if all they did was ship an old body with a B4?

im just odd like that i guess

I guess that's the difference between 'shame' and 'no shame'

I get your point, but I would have to say yes, thats what everyone is doing anyway arnt they ???

[bearrickster]

when I was 14 I walked into the hobby shop and bought my first RC car, they had a Sand Scorcher and a Sand Rover on the shelf they didnt want to sell them to me. the new Super Champ had just came in that day. and they talked me into the Champ. I was always sorry for my choice. with the rere's I dont have to be sorry anymore, as I now have all of them. I dont need one thats 100% correct 1979 I like modern. but I respect the fact not everyone feels as I do and thats cool. I am just happy to have all the cars I missed out as a poor kid.

[SMOKE-DOG]

Some nice ones. Man my LHS had 2 XR311 re-re's for the longest for the low-low and I didn't get one before someone snatched em both up.
