You and me both!

I see a lot of people picking these up to kit-bash the BH HS2 into more of an actual HS2 in the period of time before Tamiya inevitably re-releases the actual HS2.  Me?  I have some NOS SuperSabre stickers that will just make this wacky beauty that little bit better...

Is prepainted really prepainted or printed?   

Perhaps because I could only have one when I was a kid but now I want to buy this one also.

It's cut out and painted at the factory, you just need to add decals.

Thanks,  

Anyone knows if you can run these slower crawer brushless systems such Hobbywing QuicRun Fusion Pro FOC 2-in-1 ESC & Motor System (2300Kv) without destroying the gears on these vintage reissues?

Are you trying to make a rockcrawler out of one of them?

The gears are pretty beefy... but the cars are not without their weak spots depending on your driving/plan...

I just like how it's so compact for a clean look. I was just concerned if the torque is an issue.

While I am excited about the release, I am a little disappointed about the pre-painted body part.

I've always liked the look of this buggy, I'll probably pick one up. 

Still waiting for that king cab/Hilux racer release though.

The Super Sabre is one of two of the old promotional posters/flyers they used to include with kits that I have. (The other is a 959.) I should get the re-re Sabre since I have the vintage promo poster, right?

Good enough a reason as any!

Order in at Tower. This has been along time coming. I love the look of this.

I believe HOT SHOT 2 rereleased in 2024.

I think that's highly likely now that the red CVAs have appeared on the Super Sabre

Only a couple of minor sponsor brands, worth chopping up an OG sheet?
