Wow - black bumper - original tyres - I'm starting to really believe it...

I wonder if they'll change the bumper colour after the first production run

It seems a little strange they would choose to fit a plastic aerial as the springy metal one is still in current production on some of the 1/14th trucks
 Uprated shocks is great news though, the front uprights don't look much different, maybe the stiffener rib is thicker ? The change to "fake" sponsor decals is a bit of a shame, but it's almost certainly to avoid copyright / trademark licensing. I hope the front spindles don't fall apart like the rere Brat ones .It's a joy to see the return of the blister packaging. There's obviously some difference with the rear axles too, see the drive hubs are a separate piece ? I'd like to see the rear cage, is it just like the original ? |

That is a thing of beauty. I have to have three of these, and that will be the first time I've done that with any Tamiya model.

Why couldn't have this come about a year ago when I had money? This economy stinks!

Look at the pic of the car, the walls look smooth :-( Maybe time to buy the originals that are now flooding ebay?!!! -------------------- You lookin at my bra?

With a plastic DB01 being currently sold at around £175, I can only assume that the Rough Rider will be £200+. And I can foresee there may well be an initial premium added on by LHS to the first batch that are sold. Fingers crossed that £sterling strengthens so the Rough Rider is affordable by all. -------------------- <- Mad Bull for sale |

Old school whip aerial would've really got the heart racing, as it is I've just got mild palpatations

I'm absolutely gutted that I've spent about £200 in bits on eBay over the last couple of weeks!
Looks fabulous. Enables me to finish off my other partially complete SRB's without spending a fortune. Any news yet on whether or not this will be a limited edition ? |
