beefmuffin 1156 Posted April 19, 2013 i am not sure that no one want the 959 or the Fox, i am quite sure that the 959 beat the Blazer.3 speeds are very limited sale compared to others ;-) hmm - well, i guess the question is, is the blazer a drop-on fit for the re-re bruiser chassis? if that's the case then why wouldn't it happen? unless even the word "blazer" is an impenetrable trademark problem.as for the 959 - this may be a dumb question - but have there been any re-re's of on-road pan cars?

mtbkym01 3946 Posted April 19, 2013 Hmm somewhat controversial statement coming up.......... "Watch the Nova Fox outsell every other Re-re that as been released to date!" Whoops, did I just say that out loud 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadWagon 146 Posted April 19, 2013 I doubt it'll outsell the hornet/hopper re re but I think it'll be strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted April 20, 2013 What do you guys know. Blazer will out sell all tamiya RC and static models combined to date. No more wishful thinking for other models. Is united we succeed and divided we fail. Think 5Bs ...bigger, better, badder, beastier, BLAZER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the Group C cars have been rereleased, such as the Mercedes C11 and Mazda 787B. I'm holding out for a Street Devil re-re. The R91CP was also rereleased. These are all direct drive pan-like cars running foam tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matman 1498 Posted April 20, 2013 Re-release the BLAZER or nothing else . Please lock this forum so Tamiya can just focus on the blazer. No one wants the 959 or the fox, bear, deer , owl....Blazer or bust. HAHA , wish full thinking . The cost of the blazer compaired to the fox , I would say i can get 3 fox's to one Blazer . So i can not see this happening . So more people want the Fox & looks like the 959 as well . I'm sure that the Blazer will come , BUT not yet . Too soon as they need to leave time inbetween the Bruiser & the Blazer . + the Blazer does have it's own chassis & mr T needs to have some thing to spring on use out of the blue . hehe ..

markbt73 5290 Posted April 20, 2013 A Blazer re-release on the new Bruiser frame would be really cool, as it's a much better looking model than the Bruiser ever was. But it should be a lower-priced model, as the original Blazer was. I couldn't justify $7-800 for a Bruiser, but $4-500 for a Blazer might be an easier sell.

mongoose1983 3335 Posted April 21, 2013 I doubt it'll outsell the hornet/hopper re re but I think it'll be strong. Think the reaction of the buying force might as well be as what's been happening with the Wild One. Outselling anything on the Grasshopper drivetrain or even the Frog might be a rather hard thing to do for any other Tamiya model. But then again, that's just my opinion.

beefmuffin 1156 Posted April 21, 2013 ok here's my guess. the fox will break all previous records for rapid initial sales as a result of pre-orders and pent-up enthusiast demand. then it will go on to sell not much differently than any of the other highly prized re-re's.

HunterZero 76 Posted April 23, 2013 The Fox is ridiculous without the front sway-bar. Almost comical looking with literally zero roll stiffness in the front. Weirdest box-stock design ever. Not as ridiculous as you think. Sure, the front end is quite roly-poly loose with the monoshock, but when you add the sway bar it takes grip away and makes the car understeer. More concerning is the Fox's tendency to lose rear grip and snap oversteer at the drop of a hat.I wonder if they sway bar hop-up will be re-released with a softer bar?- James 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1723 Posted April 23, 2013 This is not a problem. You can buy a thinner steel wire and do yourself a softer anti sway bar. Max I wonder if they sway bar hop-up will be re-released with a softer bar?- James 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadWagon 146 Posted April 23, 2013 ^^ yep, what Max said. I also noticed when I added bit of camber to my rear wheels, the rear step out became almost non existant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxone 20 Posted April 24, 2013 I wish tamiya would rere all the vintage models they didn't do! Vintage F1 cars from the 50's & 60's More vintage rally cars like a ford escort, a 205 or a vintage mini. Maybe tamtom's SC/RR ! (how it should of been!) A ferrari dino or highly detailed aston DB5 I like vintage, I like REre but there are plenty more gaps to be filled in between yesterday and tomorrows new kit.... just a few thoughts & my opinion, for what it's worth....

B.M.T. 127 Posted May 10, 2013 I've done the M06 VW, and it's a good fit, sensible product... and the motor is in the right place... but new CC sounds interesting. Hope it's a hardbody, but I'd be more excited if they went with the RR Vogue is a nicer looking vehicle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
