Its a lovely looking thing, I bet it won't be cheap.

Yeah, it could well be out of my price range.

Interesting that the box art has a brushless motor - is that a first for Tamiya?

Ignore my post

I have put it on my "wishlist" and will get one, but I think it's looks a bit dull and cheap. It's kind of like a mix of Scorpion, HPI 5B, Wild One, Falcon and Losi SCB. Nothing really new, but that can possibly not be exptected anymore? Apparently driver figure recirculated from The Fox. Nasty chrome on the wheels, which will come off immediately when I get the model. Also, with rear trailing arms, I wish Tamiya had gone for double front trailing arms too, but double wishbones up front in combination with rear trailing arms is authentic too, albeit places the model in the `90's and not '70's/80's like the SRB. With a wheelbase of 283mm, Tamiya really needs to make a new VW Bug (baja bug) body for the chassis.

It does look decent, I could well be tempted, more than I was by the TD models anyway. Really good to see bearings😯 and UJ's are included too👍

What's up with he name though? Where is the name?😂 Tamiya always has a cool name yeah? Now it's just three letters... BBX🤨

Really? Thought it would be like £400!

Email from Jadlam says 5p under £360

I should add, I bought from the Tamico link shared on this thread, and quickly because the €252 price was too good to miss. Especially as I've just had an email from Jadlam at £360! 😱

I can’t stop looking at it! In my opinion it totally puts the kyosho dirt master aesthetic in the shade.
