Aerobert 2143 Posted January 6, 2020 How likely is it that the Dirt Thrasher will be re-released? It's the same chassis as the Manta Ray therefore it should be easy for Tamiya to re-release it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows they have all the parts for the mud blaster for years but its yet to make an appearance and all the parts for the lancia 037 rally on the orv chassis but again it hasn't arrived that just 2 off the top of my head the conclusion I come to is with tamiya the obvious is never a given Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is we will see the terra scorcher first, then the body will be in production so the dirt thrasher may follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadInventor 3884 Posted January 12, 2020 Can't remember if I've mentioned it in this thread already, but I'd really like to see a HotShot II re-release. I'd settle just for a re-release of an update kit to convert a HSI re-release (Bodykit, and the sprue with the underguard and rear shock tower). I'd go aftermarket on the shocks and get some Chinese shocks anodised metallic red, rather than the dull red of the original shocks. Failing that, how about a boomerang chassis with a winger body as a new 'vintage' kit, with some black egress wheels 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cost is the biggest barrier I expect. I wonder if any of those Chinese companies will start paying attention to which long gone models get the most attention. Yeah agree. I’d love a Samurai. Mine is in oieces and can’t be salvaged. One of the best looking buggies ever made. My Big Bear could be savaged but it’s not a great platform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reedydriver 148 Posted February 21, 2020 I wish that Losi would finally bring a re release to the market! I have 15 Team Associated buggies, and recently purchased my first Losi buggy, an XX. Great condition, never used. That means I now have the Losi line in my collection... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They re-re'd the XX4 long ago, but don't seem interested in re-making anything now. Maybe with Gil Losi Jr rejoining them they might reconsider?... Every time they post anything vintage on Facebook they get a load of people asking for re-res, so maybe they just need to do something Kickstarter-ish to gauge interest and guarantee making money on it if they did go for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted March 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Problemchild said: Have we had all our re re for this year? JJ Its still early in the year so under normal circumstances I would expect to hear something later in the year. A few months ago one of the hobby stores asked on Facebook if there is any interest in a Vanquish, and they confirmed that the local distributor had asked them for feedback. They could be partway along a Vanquish already? Would be pretty easy right since the Avante is in production? Especially if they include the carbon hop up chassis from the Egress rather than remake the old chassis? But, I guess the real question is will they release anything new given whats going on. If they could get some of their classics out quickly I'm sure demand will be huge with a bunch of people cooped up inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moffman 5752 Posted March 27, 2020 According to model shop websites the terra scorcher is due around April (beginning/middle) normally that date comes and goes which will probably happen with this one but I'm thinking probably won't happen at all or if we are lucky end of the year I'm thinking?

The hotshot is still in production as a rere. The Hotshot2 was never re-released. It was the third buggy in the hotshot series, but is unique in a number of ways to the original and super hotshot.
