Silverado 281 Posted July 29, 2020 It is finally here... -The massive huge short course truck from Tamiya! -well..not that massive ,being 12th scale or new, released in 2012... -but I like it! and that´s why I got one. Bonus parts? The oil shocks? thats the bonus? -ok thanks lol. Or maybe the TEU-104BK esc that needs ubec so it will not fry the rx.Not that I would use it and nice to get one, I never had that unit.-and it has lipo cut off but 80´s style external battery pack or ubec needed... typical Tamiya innovations that I love and hate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverado 281 Posted July 31, 2020 Sadly the body has some molding/other faults. contacted Tamico and waiting their response.. I have something special planned with this build and cant use this body cause the faults. both doors have over a centimeter size faults and they are really visible in person. Cant do much for the build as the servo and saver are not here yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They make fun little trucks. Look forward to the build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverado 281 Posted August 4, 2020 Tamico once again proofed that they have great customer service. I complained about the body and they shipped a new body yesterday to me. when I receive it I can finally add some paint... (I still have no time to build the chassis) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverado 281 Posted August 17, 2020 Still no time to build, but i did throw some paint and decals (from MCI) at the body Tamico replaced. I dont drink, but the classis racing livery is one of my favs. windows are clear under the stickers , not sure to leave like this or clear yet I alao did another for hc bashing this shell i ordered locally. The damaged shell is too bad shape to paint. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonus parts? The bonus parts mean full ball bearings usually. My stadium thunder has the same sticker, and it was ball bearings lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverado 281 Posted August 22, 2020 Ok I had 2 hours spare time and finally opened the box still needs wiring but this build was only 2 hours plus bodywork. will try and find more scale wheels 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jontea 334 Posted August 22, 2020 They are a simple, quick build, even with tapping all the threads on mine (Sand Viper), and installing several hop ups, took about 4hrs actually building. One of my favourite chassis to work on and run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankster 2003 Posted October 14, 2021 I love the stadium truck design from Tamiya. The factory decals / livery sucks. Here is my interpretation for my kids cars. Painted grill black which makes a difference. Windows unpainted but may tint in the future 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted October 14, 2021 great little truck especially when not box art. @Frankster love the Redbull scheme. I’ve got an old Blitzer that I did in a similar style that yellow part of the sticker over the front wheel arch is fun!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frankster 2003 Posted October 15, 2021 Great blitzer. Wheels and tire are bunch better. I wonder how it would look with the Nissan king cab livery / decals 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted October 15, 2021 Frankly I think it looks good in all sorts of colours. Especially ones that are usually Nissan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
