Tamiya have re issued it and apparently have made some improvements. It was shit back then in it's day, a cheap way to get into 4wd. And it certainly wasn't capable of 'bringing victory at the track' lol as the div narrating suggests!!!
This was a fantastic buggy, brothers had first release, then i inherited it, was devastated when the wish bones broke, sat in cupboard for years after that. hopefully, tamiya will re-release!
This was the car i owned during my teens. I fell in love with it whilst my brother owned it and he used to occossionly let me have a goes on it. It was awsome the handling, acceleration the four wheel drive made it go through grassy surfaces. And when you ran it on the 8.4 battery and VZ tecnic cold motor it was breath taking. Those days were the best.
what should i get?
this
the hotshot
black foot
cayenne transyberia
land cruiser cc01
datzun 240z
or cc01 unimog

Just how effective was that single front shock, I wonder. After all you don´t see many buggies with a similar arrangement nowadays...

@Del350K4 had one of this boomerang in 1/10 scale back in the 80s, the front single shock was sturdy enough but now you can get alloy
