#57796 RTR Super Levant

[RacedriverThe5]

it looks pretty cool but i only drive cc-01 and tt-01

[TheFlexyB]

It is! tamiya should do better for the price

[442paul]

i'm sorry but this ad seems so cheasy to me...

[TheFlexyB]

Its refreshingly not trying to be cool... seems a bit retro to me, but at least its a break from all the major, esp american brands, with their super macho ads

[442paul]

@TheFlexyB

i agree with you on that.

ut i think it makes it seem like a "toy"

wouldn't you agree?

[TheFlexyB]

they are all toys, and anyone who says other wise is fooling themselves. it serves no purpose other than to amuse! ;)

@TheFlexyB

but remember people make money from them

recently i guy one 25k in a race

[TheFlexyB]

so maybe 20-30 people in the world earn a decent amount from racing rc. the vast majority of rc cars (so called hobby grade) will never win a competitve race, they are bought by people who enjoy messing about or casual racing (like me). Even for those who race competitively the costs out weigh any winnings. The worlds and national races are there to promote the manufacurers reputations, who are aiming to sell cars to club racers, and vids like this promote the 'toys'

to make money, sell them!

@TheFlexyB

i'm just saying that the ad makes the truck look

low quality and cheesey

[writeaddress]

does anyone now how different the performance between this is the normal levant is?

[Racr4Lyfe]

Whoa, nice advertisement. Lately all I've been seeing was cheap ads.

[YAGO323]

where is tamiya's short course 4wd electric truck???

[warranqe]

they dnt got one

[YAGO323]

exactly. they need to get a sc truck out. something race worthy.

[warranqe]

the tnx 5.2r is a 1/8 scale custom MT by tamiya its more then race worthy :D however the engine is .32 would need to be changed to a .28 or something, but its built like a tank :D

[EBTerriers]

The TNX has weak clutches !

[warranqe]

lul! - i've raced mine on stock clutch for over a year... it's just people don't know how to drive it.

[EBTerriers]

Thats funny cause here in the UK shops stopped selling the TNX 5.2 r due to tamiya UK recalling them due to faulty clutches !

The clutch spring busts after just a few tanks of fuel...even tamiyas own racers were having the same problem lol

Go on the fourms and read up on it ...theres loads of stuff about how poor the clutches are in them !

[warranqe]

the problem was the first batch after that they were fine its all on how u drive them, as i said before mines still going after a year...

[ThePhiltastic]

cool
