dualdigger 62 Posted August 30, 2015 I never made it down there but I'm assuming that kit came from the zoom room. I'm really bummed I didn't go 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCcoachworks 59 Posted August 30, 2015 @backtomyroots, can you confirm if the body has the holes for rearview mirrors? We need more pics! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backtomyroots 432 Posted August 30, 2015 @ dualdigger, I spent 6 hours driving and made two Starbucks pit stops to get that from zoom room hobby ($200 CDN plus tax, a real deal) Anybody in Ontario, this is THE place for Tamiya. Incredible selection/price/service/Tamiya knowledge. @RCcoachworks, holes in both sides for mirrors, underneath body stamped: 1986-2010 Tamiya, 58452/0979040-03 I'm assuming it's a scorcher shell re re I grabbed it as a 40th birthday gift for myself, my wife was shocked I only came home with one . 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wandy 1527 Posted August 31, 2015 Anyone noticed that the box is smaller than that of the original? This is the first time that this has happened on a faithfull re-release where the original box art has been kept. The Holiday Buggy and Sand Rover came in different boxes of course but they were "tributes". Also, I think this is the first time that a re-re kit has been available in stores before it has been showcased at one of the shows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTodd 1348 Posted August 31, 2015 What size wheels are the MB's? Id like to get some pro-line all terrain tires and save the stock one for the shelf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.M.T. 127 Posted August 31, 2015 What size wheels are the MB's? Id like to get some pro-line all terrain tires and save the stock one for the shelf. 2.2" x 2". Tamiya pioneered the factory standard racing truck rim size. The Masher 2000's and Badlands in 2.2" would be good choices, and save the short travel suspension from a few hard bottom outs.

RCcoachworks 59 Posted September 4, 2015 I sure do miss the days of blister packs and tire boxes. Would you mind posting some pictures of the G, J, and K part trees? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted September 4, 2015 Even though none of us probably like it, you could say it's quite impressive the way they have managed to downsize the packaging. The original came in a Sand Scorcher sized box and yet somehow they have managed to squeeze the re-release into a Hornet sized one. The Scorcher box was the largest (save for the huge Bruiser one) of the '80s kits. The Hornet box was the smallest. In between the two was the Frog/Hotshot sized box. I still wish they had used the original size for this re-release though as a bigger box always = more wow factor, IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCcoachworks 59 Posted September 4, 2015 I don't mind the size of the box so much as how it presents when you open it up. The packaging of the original was nice and neat. The modern kits just look like a jumble of bags and a body. Sorry, just feeling like an old curmudgeon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I'd love to see a Blackfoot re-release, it would definitely make me a little sad to see it shoehorned into a Hornet-sized box. =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
