I only see one decal that is different. The re-re has a yellow Finespec in place of the original yellow Pro Gear.

And I did check the steering rods. The longer one on the re-re is ~5mm shorter than the original. It is borderline too short. Some longer 4.8-5mm ball cups at the servo saver would solve the problem and not be noticeable. The open type included in the kit are kinda sloppy anyway.

That's a pretty truck.

And the video is still live too... which is awesome because it's surprisingly enjoyable to watch.
Man, you are so right!
I only discovered the SB when juicedcoupe posted his resto project a few years ago and I've been a fan ever since.
Tamiya doesn't always get it right but they certainly got this one right.
Right! :lol:

Too bad Tamiya never made racing versions... that would've been epic.

The buggy is mostly built from Blitzer Beetle parts.

The FXT isn't technically a Blitzer but they share some suspension and driveline parts. All of the arms, carriers, and caster blocks on that one are new re-re Blitzer parts.
Late to the party, but just want to put my thumbs up for the blitzer falcon.
I did a very custom falcon a few years back but it sadly can’t handle ongoing use. Going bearhawk is tempting but I honestly worry for the sore point remains; the sodding ABS tamiya insists on using
