racer1 116 Posted January 28, 2017 Glad to see the GH II coming back and I'm sure there will be a few that makes it into the collection as I can't seem to get enough of this chassis. Am I the only one with an affliction for this chassis? Seems like I can't stop myself from buying every cheap one on eBay. Maybe the fact that the GH 1 was my first real car has something to do with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9113 Posted January 28, 2017 It is a very attractive car to be sure. Being a fan of the Mad Bull, I would like to add it's predecessor to my fleet at some point. Probably won't be my next purchase though - having far too much fun racing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the fact that the GH 1 was my first real car has something to do with it I think it's a slightly lightweight version of the hornet. Pretty durable and bouncy. I have a Rising Fighter runner and a SH which I never built. No GH2 though I quite like it's shell. I think Tamiya will release the SH again. Which is great! Would like a Thunder Dragon and Thundershot as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, why weren't they doing this last year for the 40th anniversary? Not complaining too much though. Guessing their next move is part of the fun. Yep i second that !!!😊😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason1145 3984 Posted February 21, 2017 Modelsport UK and Wonderland Models list it as available from 1st and 3rd March 2017, but Fusion Hobbies list it as 13th March.... boo! Fusion Hobbies also allow you to reduce the price from £88 to £78 if you remove the supplied esc, and then with the discount code it comes down to £70.20... absolute bargain! (I might add a few extra items to make it over £100 for free shipping, such a false economy but I will allow myself to fall for it this once) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is going to be ballraced and upgraded to a 540 from the start... I ballsed up and last night bought a gawjuss looking FAV which means I be blown my budget for the GH2 Rere..... duh! Can't believe it, especially as I've been hopping mad for it for over a month now, as my Sig can verify. My last glimmer of hope is that equally my gawjuss wifi (wifey) will buy it for my birthday... if not, I'll sneak it in somewhere myself but it won't be on release date ;p I too will ball race and 540 it.

gpgp01 36 Posted March 22, 2017 I've got the one of these today. The kit has 380 type motor.(I guess it's same as back then.) Didn't check the manual yet. As expected, not that special on its re-re, but I admit it is special itself. I'm happy anyhow. These kits seem to have been sold out in my country already. Added some pics below.. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason1145 3984 Posted March 24, 2017 Look forward to seeing more of these on here soon then, and as a bonus I think these GH2 wheels will also fit the Striker so these should soon be plentiful (I assume new parts are being released for this GH2 kit too?)

Philyon 39 Posted March 24, 2017 She looks nice. The packaging is different from the original one but this is a very nice opportunity to buy the very first Tamya car i've owned. They must re-re the Super G too ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
