volksrod68 6 Posted May 13, 2009 The re-release Brat came with Sand Blaster tyres didn't it? Very true....im a donkey sometimes :-D Its weird seeing this being re-released, almost waiting for someone to admit its a hoax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ngbee 0 Posted May 13, 2009 I guess that if they have gone to so much trouble to replicate the original, even down to the blister packaging then things like the radio box and rear guard will also be identical, or as close as possible..(e.g. vent holes for the ESC?) for me this has to be the best re-relase so far. the thing that was always missing for me with previous re-re's was the original blister packaging - this will be just like building the original kit. I wonder if they'll include liquid thread lock etc.?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polarwingnut 0 Posted May 13, 2009 shurely if someone got this close to an historical event with a camera, they took more than 3 pic's. Com on. where is the rest of the pictures? And where is the diff, i only see plastic gears... more pictures eanyone? and where do i sign up for an preorder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kstar 0 Posted May 13, 2009 This is so unreal, Please don't wake me up from this dream. I Have put the teu101bk in a much smaller waterproof box and I haven't had any problem so I don't think they made ventilation holes for the esc. If they did it would be easy to fix. But I really don't think they would do it un-waterproof, as it was a huge part of the original concept of the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are lucky to see it now because actually the show hasn't started yet. The photos was taken by a Hong Kong Tamiya dealer shop manager in Tamiya factory during I think while Tamiya was preparing for the show. There will be more photos once the show starts in 2 days.

koenc 37 Posted May 13, 2009 I suddenly had a nice thought: "And suddenly the grey bumper will be worth more than the black one!".... Re-releases never really excite me ... but this one ... o boy ... this one does! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koenc 37 Posted May 13, 2009 I bet the new black bumper will be different from the original. After closer inspection of the pics, I share your opinion. It looks mat instead of shiny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

advantum 29 Posted May 13, 2009 What I don't understand is, why would they call it "Buggy Champ" instead of Rough Rider? Buggy Champ sound not really cool to me. Tamiya did not change the name on any other re-re. Why here? This is kinda wired remake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badboy 94 Posted May 13, 2009 It's now 28 users!!! Ahhrrrggg!!! I really want to get my hands on this RR pic!!! To copy and blow up as a poster to frame!!! Anybody who can steel it and give it to me? Badboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamiya did not change the name on any other re-re. Why here? This is kinda wired remake. I agree, it's such a lame name, and didn't The Frog have a different name in Japan yet they re-released it worldwide as The Frog? This is one thing that will definitely please the owners of the original NIBs I guess as the blister packs on this release take it dangerously close to near identical on initial appearance.

I wished they'd stop all this re-release malarchy its getting boring. Well I don't think that it's got to be one or the other, they do Re-re for the people who wants them and new models for the others(or same again) people. You can't say they have been lazy on new designs recently have they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
