Your choice of white and back with silver. Easy peasy. PS, I personally disagree with ^, but to each his own.

I don't know if I'm most proud of this car but it's up there. Also, not a Tamiya, but when it comes to drifting, Tamiya has NOTHING to offer (proper RWD drifiting). Thought you might like to see something a little different. Get well quick!

If this is true, I'm excited for all of you who love this car and want one. Me, I think it's a heap of rubbish and after owning an original back in the day, I will not be spending money on it.

That's tough one. I'm not sure I have a solution other than putting the gears from the one that works into the case of the one that doesn't and seeing if it still works. Then go from there I guess. That's what I'd do in this situation. Just be careful to keep track of what parts are from which transmission.

My bit of advice is get one with a chisel tip, not a point. It will make your life SO MUCH easier for what we use an iron for.

Hi Theibault-thanks for your reply.
Yes I tried unplugging the servo but still the same result. Also have the same servo on 2 other cars and no issues....
I'm going to have to try and work everything through again later
Never hurts to take a step away for a minute. Like I said, I'm almost positive it's the ESC setup. Try set up opposite to what you have right now. It can't hurt.

So if the ESC is in the correct mode and the battery is fully charged, the culprit could be your Savox servo. They draw good power and can sometimes overpower the rX. Try unplugging the servo from the rX and see if the motor/esc works. However, I feel it's very likely that the ESC is not in the right mode. This is very common with the Tamiya TBLE (02 and 04) ESCs. It's a bit fiddly changing modes. So hard to differentiate red and orange lol.

As stated, I think when you got in the hobby does play a big factor in answering this question, but for me, I think the Hornet is most Iconic. Most desirable would be the Bruiser.

I find this chart to be helpful. You can roughly go by weight compared to other brands by dropping the last 0.

Oh man. Haven't visited here in a while and so sad to here of this. @Shodog, RIP. My condolences to his friends and family.

I'm just happy they did something new. Am I going to get one of these? Probably not, but you never know.

Look, if you are going to glue your tires, use glue made for it. All the tire companies make CA glue specifically formulated for RC tires. I personally like AKA premium tire glue, but Pro-Line and others make good glue. The best advice I can give is to use needle tips. You won't make a mess that way.

Keep the Fighting Buggy. The others can be repurchased later pretty easy should it strike you to do so, but the FB are becoming scarce.

Personally, I think these are great out of the box with bearings. Adding proper oil filled dampers will give you a better ride, but takes away from the charm of the bounciness of this super fun RC. I do run mine with a Sport Tuned for a little more wheelie poppin' ooomph and speed. I had a second one that was widened, had HPI wheels and tires, and oil filled CVAs. It lost all it's charm and fun and was just an ok driving top heavy crappy RC at that point. I want my WW to bounce and pop wheelies, not be some second rate, poor performing RC that's trying to be something it's not. I sold that one off in a hurry lol. Here's my opinion of perfection.

I personally feel that the stock silver can is the motor best suited to these chassis. That said, I do run a Sport Tuned in my Hornet.
