[@Competitionx]

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Got to love a new Tamiya kit to build

[@Competitionx]

[@RCBirds]

[@Competitionx]

Great to see one of these with the lid off the box! Not that its not stunning boxart as always from tamiya because it is!
Lovely looking kit! I really do hope tamiya rere the standard HS2 though??
Plus l need one of those cool BHM 540 motors for my BHM WO! Haha l can see those BHM silver can motors becoming quite sort after!

[@Competitionx]

Ya, it was fun opening the box and seeing a 'sort of' vintage box of parts. That motor is cool too - still not sure if I'm going to use it or not.

[@leehurst6922]

I think the roof panel is still metal. Those silver parts are a.rear guard

[@Competitionx]

You are correct. After I did some more research, I found the panel was VERY thin metal and those were indeed the rear guard - well, one was. The other was the windshield 'wind deflector'. Anyway, good catch!

[@bradkalman2353]

Brushless in it. Like a 3000-3700 KV.

[@Competitionx]

Not sure I want to stress it out quite that much... LOL

[@bradkalman2353]

@@Competitionx hey they have two wheel drives running off of 3300 like the dt03.

[@bradkalman2353]

Also when you going to get the bbx and mb01 are you going to get to slipper clutch for the buggy?

[@newsmansuper2925]

how did yours come with an esc????

[@Competitionx]

US versions come with the Hobbywing THW-1060 ESC.

[@jamesh950]

Tempting. One more is not enough but is one more is too many.

[@Competitionx]

LOL - NEVER enough Tamiya cars. Never had the OG model so this was one we really needed to have.
