- It's the Tamiya BBX off-road RC buggy and it's all new from Tamiya for 2023! I'm a bit late covering it but I've used mine heaps already. Let me show you over this impressive and rather different offering from the big T!
(Big thanks to Simon for driving with me and tolerating my cameras!!)

Getting some serious Metro Jet Hopper vibes from it. What a great christmas that was.
That feeling at a younger age is never quite attainable again in adulthood, eh. We can try though! Lol
Is very pretty. It can be a good economical and fun option for my collection. I think Kyosho also has this type of classic buggy. I'm going to see it.
The Kyosho Scorpion and Tomahawk have trailing arms on the back as well as on the front. I prefer Kyosho to Tamiya but I wish Kyosho had a conversion for the front suspension to a-arms
I'd love to see a a racing class with these on dirt with reasonably sized jumped. The old school buggy look is so cool
Oh yes, that would be amazing!
This thing looks awesome. I think the blue and red looks excellent on the paint job mate.
Hey thanks 🙏 It helps that its such a fun driver!
Nice video from you as always! It's a good overview how it works, and what its quirks are, definitely Tamiya's ball differentials are annoying... I will be getting a BBX later on when the price drops a bit, I might buy an aftermarket gear diff, I can spend the bearing budget on the diff, ha ha... Funny, I was also thinking 4000kV, good to see you also like it that way...
Thanks! Yeah spider gears are probably best. And 4000kv 👌 You'll love it
Has firmly cemented itself at the top of my favourite(s) to drive list along with UDR and BRX01 and Fazer and………..
Lol yes, the short list has a name: RC
To me this gem just misses a slipper to be perfect.
Tamiya has a option for that.
4x2 old classic buggies configuration are a ton of fun to drive, especially with today sensored brushless !! (And without sensor too)
I LOVE IT
Nicely put. Me too!
Good morning .
Tamiya, these are and will remain my favorite kit even if the quality is not necessarily there.
A Tamiya kit is a Tamiya kit, everyone should ride one at least once in their life.
By the way, you are aware that element rc has released a 1/12 em enduo!!
ELEMENT RC ENDURO12 TRAIL TRUCK SENDERO RTR AE40009C
Thanks for the video see you again!!
The Frenchi.
It's a great kit, yes. I agree.
Yeah I've seen the 1/12 Enduro, I'm looking forward to checking it out later this year, whenever they come to Australia!
I instantly regretted building mine over Xmas without proper tools, only the small allen keys provided, which ruined a bit the experience of what otherwise must have been an amazing build. And still, I don´t hate it. I didn´t find any issue with the ball diff, but I always read people having issues with them in forums. I also own a handful other cars with them and still nothing. Fingers crossed! Now I need to finish painting and getting some electronics to really enjoy it. And after today´s vid, even more. Looks like a ton of fun!!
It's super fun. Building with L-shape Allen keys, not so much, lol
I like these little buggies for something different but the electronics and battery are so tight fitting ….not a lot of room.
Couple buddies of mine were talking about setting up a track to race these old school type rigs…might still get one if there’s a call in the future…..nice review as always..
There's a huge space for the battery but it's a bit fiddly to get it in and out, I guess. But the real restriction is that esc tray. I forgot to mention the shroud in this video but the naked fan still looks good. It's a decent buggy, fun to drive and smoooooth 😎
I’d build one in a second if I had this type of running playground! Perfect dirt area for it.
Pretty sweet spot isn't it!
You can adjust the front end. You need to add or remove the metal washers at the shock tower.
Nice catch, thank you!
@@RCTNT You're welcome!
I am not a fan of ball diffs (Tamiya ones seem to be prone to breaking especially as the plastics age), so I opted for the gear diff in my BBX. I also opted for the slipper clutch as well.
Cheers!
Yeah i think spider gears are the way to go, though my diff has been okay since my fix. Great buggy otherwise, eh. Wow.
I fell in love with this car the day it was announced nearly a year ago. Still don’t have one. We just don’t have any usable loose surfaces to drive on. But it still is very high on my bucket list.
Completely understandable. Thankfully this is the kind of car that will wait for you in the box and even if you never get to it, you'll get more than you paid for it if you sell it some years down the track
@@RCTNT that is a very good point. I will try to ‘sell’ it to my wife as an investment 😁
"And in summary, we can't afford to not buy one of these. We should consider two, in fact."
@@RCTNT 😁👍
Hey mate
Love your videos
What size pinion are you running with your 4000kv motor in this buggy?
Thanks Mike! If it came with one, that's the pinion I used. If it didn't, probably 14T or so, if it was 32P. (I can't remember tho, sorry)
Great video
Thanks!
Seems like a pretty decent rig Craig. That place ur at looks like some good times for the rigs too.
It's a top local bash spot for sure, yeah! BBX loves it 😎
Pretty sweet little buggy! It's not really my fancy though, I'd rather go for a rally given those conditions but to each their own, of course. I almost got the Tamiya Ford Escort on the MF01 chassis a few days ago, but didn't feel like doing the whole build process this time. Spent a little more on a RTR and really happy with it.. just waiting for the proper batteries to arrive tomorrow.
Nice. What did you buy?
@@RCTNT Kyosho 2002 WRC Impreza. I uploaded a couple videos if you want to have a look.
@scaleworksRC oh cool. Will do!
@@RCTNT Thanks, hope you enjoy the content!
What a great looking buggy! If you don't need waterproof, I bet a Hobbywing Justock 10.5 combo would be great in this on 2S, and it's a really economical option. Then again, your esc with that spare motor is probably even cheaper :)
Haha yes, in this case my combo was cheaper again. The justock combos are good, but these HW combos (BL120 ESC and various 3660 motors) are arguably better value for bashing:
asiate.es/aff?l=214228&i=76070
@@RCTNT Agreed the BL120 is hard to beat for a 2-3S vehicle if it fits where you need it. Sensored operation in the original version and really affordable
For sure.
The QuicRun combos I meant aren't sensored but they're very good, all the same. I've used them exclusively in the SCT kits I've done recently, including the Hobao and Tekno cars. I really like them.
Thanks again, Craig, for another great video.
Ya be good for the oval track
For sure, yes!
Tamiya still got it!
Yes indeed
Not really a fan of the materials that Tamiya uses but you can't argue with the styling and nostalgic factor ( even though i was way too poor to have a Tamiya as a kid)
I'm generally of the same opinion but the bbx seems to be quite durable. It's had many tumbles and bad jumps, rough gravel, etc, and it's all good so far
Yes, for the amount you spend on their kits you'd think they'd have some better quality parts but...those are all sold as "upgrades".
The kits themselves aren't usually overly expensive, compared to others. Maybe that's just in Australia given our trade with Japan being close and considerable. A big RC brand that's cheaper in Australia than in the USA for once, lol
@@RCTNT $469 CDN for the kit here in Canuckistan
Oh, not so different. It's easily found for about CAD$400 here, or CAD$439 sticker price
Gday from Israel great car
Hi, thanks for checking it out 😊
The shape SO reminds me of my first r/c the rough rider and my buddy who got a super champ. The superchamp was twice the car the RR was which is a PIECE OF DONKEY SHIT
Haha right, yes, I'm familiar with that buggy but not with how bad it apparently is! I remember looking at it me considering it as a teen, but I'm glad I went with a Stadium Blitzer instead, by the sound of it!
@@RCTNT the biggest issue is the frp flat deck chassis and the flex. The front "axle" is connected to the rear by the styrene body which breaks off the first good jump.
Then the swing arm rear suspension doesn't go up and down, it is in an arc.
then the clip on plastic tie rod ends that are useless after clipping them on and off to adjust toe in/out or if you take a good jump.
The torsion bar rear suspension wasn't adjustable and it was bouncy as all get out.
I eventually dumped the styrene body and made a frame out of brass tubing (I could solder it), I'll email you a pic, oddly enough I have it sitting on top of my kitchen cabinets lol
Nice job keeping it going. Sounds like it wasn't really thought out too well, which is a shame. Good design can make owing a model really rewarding
@@RCTNT well, all the old tamiyas weren't all that well thought out lol. The quality of the castings etc were great, but the overall design/engineering wasn't.
but it's the same with anything, things improve with R and D.
