Leckster 34 Posted February 9, 2004 just scooting around on the net this evening and bumped in to this-As they say a picture say's a thousand words! Looks like it's on a modified TT-01 t me. [8D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snollan 3 Posted February 9, 2004 The more things change the more they stay the same.... Looks like a vanquish + manta ray + top force body =a gravel hound. If they release a kit then I'm game for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wireless 34 Posted February 9, 2004 Looks lie a TT-01 to me too but the battery and motor have swapped sides...??? Roop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellbilly 0 Posted February 9, 2004 As long as they come as kits too, i'll be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thesis 0 Posted February 9, 2004 aarrrghh they swapped sides [] still got hope it;s not a tt-01......[xx(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leckster 34 Posted February 9, 2004 Yeah If they release it as a kit I'd be tempted. But after looking at the failed Neo Shot again today,The front shocks are longer than the 'Hound.....[:I] I would of still preferred the Neo Shot (modified into shaft drive-wishful thinking[]) Oh well aleast the're making buggy's again![8D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sosidge 624 Posted February 10, 2004 It's silly to "only" buy a car if it comes as a kit. If you want one, but the RTR, and strip it! Voila, a kit! PS since it's a TT01, I think that means I get Tamiya UK's Top Force collection? (hope he stands by his comments in the other thread...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellbilly 0 Posted February 10, 2004 The reason i want it as a kit is because i would paint it myself in some other color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Javelin395 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Tamiya says it is the new DT-02 chassis. From the looks of it, it should be a nice driver..... http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=57723 Cheers, Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stulec52 50 Posted February 11, 2004 depending on the hop ups.... for now I think it looks very 'toy' like. but I am glad Tamiya are bringing out another buggy. especially a 4wd one. Associated say there is no warket for them to release such a car !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJTheo 2 Posted February 11, 2004 The motor looks like the non Mabuchi that is used on TT-01s, lets see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least the Gravel Hound is not a quick drive car which has more toy-like qualities. Too bad for Associated. I prefer off-road cars as there are no tracks around where I live. And they make great backyard bashers. [] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
