Super ally

The hornet is such a classic tamiya buggy and was the first tamiya kit i built back in 88.

I have a sport tuned in mine and it is fast enough for this buggy.

They have a mono shock in front and better looking body but other than that they are the same chassis.I got mine for £109 when it was on sale but they are back to £180 now.Great buggy to drive and very planted.

Thundershot.

Sorry to hear about your health problems hopefully you can still do rc with a bit of time.

Thanks yes i will run it as i run all my cars except for my mint vintage fox.

I have just finished building my hotshot 2 after having it sitting in the box for the past 4 weeks.It was a nice build and went together quickly and with the body pre cut and painted it was even quicker.I like the original hotshot but i prefer this one better it just looks great.What do you members think of the hotshot 2 do you like it better than the hotshot?

I forgot to add the bigwig to my icons list i remember watching the promo videos and it stood out to me with how it looked and it had that technigold motor and could run on a 8.4v battery pack but it was too expensive back then for me to get.Years later i now have a re re and i run it with a 8.4v battery and its great.

I think the hornet is the most iconic as it was easy to build,fast,looked good and affordable for most people.I think it must be the best selling tamiya rc as well as its been out since 1984.My other tamiya icons would be the fox which is my personal favourite the blackfoot,hotshot,thundershot and avante.

I run all my re re cars except for my original never run fox which i am tempted but im afraid the plastic will crack if i do.But i only run my cars in dry conditions i wouldnt leave them with mud all over them like yours but thats your choice.

I have the hotshot,bigwig,super sabre and hotshot 2 which i plan on building this weekend.I like the look of all 4 which i own but the bigwig would be my favourite and it drives great but the turning circle is not the best as anybody who owns one will know.Looking forward to seeing how the hotshot 2 runs when i get it built.

Ok thanks i wanted to be sure before i bought them but i will leave it in case they are not right.

Just saw these on ebay.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your very detailed information its very helpful.Can i ask if this pinion is ok for my hotshot 2.
