beefmuffin 1156 Posted January 18, 2013 holy cow - this thread is just a live wire - and is starting to fold in on itself like an n-order spatial dimension in superstring theory - or like a fallen souffle - or... well... anyway, i think at some point this madness needs to stop and a poll should be introduced based on the models nominated by the various posts in this thread. then we can just see quantitatively which buggy would make the best-looking mutant offspring of TC members.

ralphee 293 Posted January 18, 2013 Optima is cheating - much nicer looking than any Tamiya, but this thread is title "Tamiya's sexiest buggy"... BTW - I was definitely joking about the Sonic Fighter. (Or was I? mwhuhahahahaha....) The Sonic fighter. Me and a few buddies, used to sit around, and just laugh at that back page RRCI ad they used to run for this car......then the name, it became a sort of cuss word......but it is a lovely shade of grey hehe.Im still saying Dynastorm, even though Beef caught me using banned substances, and i tested positive for Optima.lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockcrusher 6 Posted January 18, 2013 You know, I actually like the Sonic Fighter. To me it looks better than the Striker. The Striker's open cockpit just seems like its missing something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted January 18, 2013 How's this for a sexy chassis photo file too big so here's a link http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=115406&id=5280 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gruntfuggly 562 Posted January 18, 2013 Ahh - yes. You're not wrong... (not quite as sexy as the Optima though) Might look better with a Dyna Blaster shell though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted January 18, 2013 I'm working on it Nigel - it's going on my 2nd chassis once I've cut it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted January 18, 2013 Now that we are talking about it, I reckon "sexy" would make a great theme for the next competition. Over to you Mods! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shenlonco 1156 Posted January 19, 2013 I do like the FAV! Super hornets pretty also and the good old hornets one of my faves! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphee 293 Posted January 19, 2013 You know, you can't deny, the Hornet, is sexy. But, i raise you....one of these....... lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeetleLover 4 Posted January 19, 2013 Without a doubt it would have to be the Dynastorm, if you haven't put one together or looked at one closely you might not know what I'm talking about. The fit and finish of the components has been the best kit experience I have ever encountered old or modern. The suspension travel and movement is super smooth, really long travel, the dampers are beautiful! I cannot fault this car for looks either, still the best performing 2WD buggy Tamiya has produced... watch this model come back again, it surely will!

Zac_F83 117 Posted January 20, 2013 Those are the most boring looking types of buggies IMO. Typical ugly box wing...don't care if it's functioal or not...it's ugly. Ugly big dish wheels/low profile tires that rise higher than most of the body Ugly low slung spaceship body makes it look like a flat plate with wheels I think the best looking Tamiya buggy was the Super Champ This ^ combined with the swing arm rear and realistic roll cage of the FAV= Art to me Both the SC and FAV however are VERY nicely detailed kits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose1983 3335 Posted January 20, 2013 As it happens in other spheres of the human experience, anything can be "sexy". It would be hard (and the size of this here thread shows) to come together to an specific idea or notion on what can truly be "sexy" about some RC buggy. For me it's realism. That's why I'd go for the Rough Rider. Fast Attack Vehicle, Super Champ, and the Grsshopper are others that I might recall. Here's my Rough Rider: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadWagon 146 Posted January 27, 2013 Oh, this is an easy one for me.... #1 the Fox. Sooooo I guess my list would be... Fox Super Champ Super shot Frog (no pink please) Avante Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
