Believe it or not but applying decals is my most loving part of a build. it's like the cherry top of a cake for me.. But that's just me. I understand your pain because decaling is sometimes really challenging if you want to have a perfect finish.

Kyosho Rocky re-re will it happen ?
scoobybooster replied to madmickmalone's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I doubt that a Rere of the Rocky will happen. As mentioned at the beginning, the Rocky was a one-chassis car, and the fan base is probably not nearly as big as that of the Optima boys. -
What is the most ridiculous Tamiya kit?
scoobybooster replied to Siclick33's topic in General discussions
Perhaps ridiculous is not the correct term here, but I always had (and still have) the greatest difficulty with this candidate. Tamiya , how could you... -

Porsche 956 on any 1/12 chassis?
scoobybooster replied to mtbkym01's topic in Build Tips and Techniques
Not sure but i think i have seen some pics here of a Kyosho Fantom with a 956 Tamiya body a couple of days ago. -
RC10 Crystal to be displayed at SEMA Las Vegas
scoobybooster replied to Raman36's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I can imagine that the effort for the Classic was relatively large for AE and the success rather lagged behind the expectations. Presumably, molds and tools are still in the drawer and the effort is kept within relatively risk-free limits for AE to postpone the Crystal to gloss over the expense side for the Classic from back then. I bet it sells like hot cakes, no matter whether it's meant for driving or just to put on the shelf. -
Sand Scorcher - Front suspension issue
scoobybooster replied to Yoshisaur's topic in Re-Release Discussions
By the way, you have mounted the shock absorbers upside down. I doubt this should be a problem though... -
I also like the Jugg1 very much, the story behind it with the car being one of the biggest mishaps in the history of the company. This all make it very special to me. I also have a new built Jugg1 , one of the very first ( it was a former expedition car for Tamiya distributors when released). I also have the original conversion kit that was handed out to dealers after the recall. This is very rare to find in unopened condition.

What’s your rule on purchasing a new kit?
scoobybooster replied to Sogogi's topic in General discussions
My rules are rather simple: 1. consider whether and how many of them I need 2. check whether I can afford it. 3. Go ahead and buy I must admit, however, that point 1 and point 3 are often used in reverse order as well. -
BB01 BBX RC : speculation/rumours/hope
scoobybooster replied to matisse's topic in General discussions
58719 is available from late June, so it should be in stores early July. This is not a secret, you can check at (m)any distributors pages , such as Tamiya.de etc.. -
BB01 BBX RC : speculation/rumours/hope
scoobybooster replied to matisse's topic in General discussions
Just saw the new product video of the BB-01. I am somehow a little disappointed, not by the car, but by the video. How the heck can you get the idea to present a beach buggy in a forest? Or is it somebodies granny backgarden they were allowed to shoot this vid? How cool would it have been instead, Tamiya had also shown a little more nostalgia in the video, and would have shot in good old fashion, a slo-mo video on a beach, or at least on sand in a cool location? -
BB01 BBX RC : speculation/rumours/hope
scoobybooster replied to matisse's topic in General discussions
Oposite for me_ one of the most underrated cars, especially from the suspension point of view. When I think of the front suspension of Frog and consorts from that time, the Falcon was much better. From this I can well imagine that the front suspension on the BBX should perform quite well. Based on the video that has circulated so far, it does not look bad. -
BB01 BBX RC : speculation/rumours/hope
scoobybooster replied to matisse's topic in General discussions
Think i agree with the most opinions here... And like otthers mentioned already, the best looking Buggy from T. for ages. Only thing i don't like are the chrome wheels, gives it a bit of a toyish look. I bet this thing looks way better with matte white rims..And i would have preferred that the rears are wider than the fronts. but maybe it's just me -
Am I wrong or Super Avante doesn't sell?
scoobybooster replied to kontemax's topic in General discussions
200% agree with this. As a 5th, i would add that the time gap when T announced the 2WD version was waaay to short ! They should have waited for at least half a year before they released the TD2. Like this it only killed sales and interest in the new TD4.
