redlinegw 60 Posted May 27, 2022 Anyone ever build up a trick Holiday Buggy? That was my first hobby level R/C car I had when I was 10 years old and while I have no intention on getting an original I thought it would fun to build a re-re and race it!

tacomancini 11 Posted May 27, 2022 Love it! I have a holiday buggy that’s in process. Figured I’d build it first stock with the pogos and the 380 motor just to see how it feels. But I do have a sport tuned 540 and even some df03 shocks that I thought might be overkill. I might hold the shocks for something like a TD2 that will probably never happen. Interested to see what you do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a very open track modeled on the original Tamiya Test track in the 80's guide book. Very Basic and fast lay out. So we all decided to fit a Z Run brushless 13t combo with the 19t pinion. Yeah Shocks, Losi 2" step pins. Bearings of course.. We have 5 so far with 3 more being ordered . They look so cool on the track and they look even better doing a wheel stand with a full seize body shell. A pic i have I had to dig for it but this thread has what you're looking for. 👍🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also I guess if racing you could go with a light low capacity NiMH as well. It is indeed. On another car I have, it beats the silver can by 5mph, even on a lower gear ratio. (not a Tamiya though). For this particular chassis, it actually made FF fun to drive. I had not speed checked my Holiday Buggy yet, so not sure how good or bad it is.
