Build my super clod buster with a few upgrades. Maybe another tamiya buggy like super astute but painted astute.

What Tamiya kit/car have you regretted purchasing?
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to Mechanic AH's topic in General discussions
Lots of regrets most are onroad. Just a few. F104 v2, No idea why I bought this it was so low to the ground and couldn't find a track anywhere close. sold for cheap. Tb04, Read too many negative posts about it. Sat in a box for 3 months then sold it. Dual rider trike, Had idea to make into a rally motocross bike never did and sold. M05, looked cheap and sold it. Wr02 Jimmy, too many wheelies. Sold. -

Cost of Technigold and Technipower Motors
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to burakol's topic in General discussions
Cool go for it. For value depending on how used it is and how much you want to spend i will say 30 to 70usd. -
check ebay team blue groove for a body and mciracing.ca should have some decals.
-
My vote is for top cat it looks different than the standard buggy with hidden front shocks. I would also recommend a chassis protector look up jconcepts.
-
Not a big fan of the wig but it’s a good price.
-
I only have trackstar motors but I believe they have motors called skyrc ares.
-
Got another ts50 in my ultima and it flies! Comes pre soldered only need to solder 3 wires to motor and battery connector. Separate sold program box very handy.
-
haven't started the body yet might be a while.
-
Trackstar 13.5 v2 and skyrc ts50.
-
Finished the rere terra scorcher chassis. complete with no screw pins, hex screws and new vqs hi caps.

Super Champ re-release - Fighting Buggy
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to TWINSET's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Almost bought one of these 5 or 6 yrs ago before joining tamiyaclub. Got a few questions. 1. What’s it like to drive one of these? 2. Can I fit modern 2.0 or 2.2 buggy wheels and tires to it? 3. Why is there an oil bottle connected to a shock in the rear? -
Sounds like something is not meshing
MICHAELs TopForce17 replied to burakol's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I contacted tamiya usa about this issue and today they replied with " Be sure the motor is mounted in the right position". So they were no help. -
How about the wr02cb comical hornet(item number 58666) it about the same price and comes with a new driver figure.
-
2 complete clod axles will cost at least 200usd plus you need wheels so another 30-50usd. Then still need bearings and 2 steel pinions. I would wait untill tower hobbies has stock in December. If you cant wait rcmart has the bullhead at 235usd but shipping will be pricey.
