Tamico has it priced at € 305,03 including 21% VAT:

- Tamiya 58715 BBX Buggy BB-01 Bausatz (tamico.de)

EDIT: In Germany including 19% VAT that would be just under the € 300,- mark. The 21% VAT is for us Dutchies.

Really? Thought it would be like £400!

They've nailed it with this one.

TD series was just a bad dream...

[lsear2905 1140]

That works out to ~ AUD$400... I'm 100% getting this one.

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

Ignore my post

Wow that’s awesome

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🤨

[Kol__ 2724]

The more I look at this the more I like it...

The multi panel body work is cool, I could see this one being sort of hot rodded😎

I wanna see that video !

[Superluminal 3407]

What with this and the Kyosho Dirt Master its a good year for 2WD buggies!!

[B.RAD 237]

Ordered! Couldn't resist. Very excited to get a new model, can't wait to build it.

Email from Jadlam says 5p under £360

[B.RAD 237]

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! 😱

[Twinfan 394]

Yep, Tamico comes out at £300 shipped and taxes paid to the UK...

Could you pleas give us some news on the new M-Chassis derivate and the Fiat Abarth? Not seen pics so far!

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