- It's been 25 years since the Vintage RX was released by Tamiya. Well, we now have a rerelease on our hands with this 25th-anniversary edition. Is this one for the collectors or is it just not special enough? One thing is for sure, Tamiya pulled it out of the bag with the box art and decal design this time.

I got into RC cars and racing in 1996. So the the 1996 decal makes it a must have for me.
Out of all the Tamiya fixed rear axle buggies this is by far my favorite. Love it!!
Underrated buggy
With such golden wheels, this body calls for a black full of sparkles.
These wheels would look good on my NovaFox
needs a spray of tamiya lame flake and clear over that
I just had a call from TJD Models mine has arrived..
This looks like a funky buggy, love the colours and especially the box 🖤💛🖤💛
Look forward to seeing your build video Gavin 👍
I had the Mad Fighter, The handling is SOOOOOOO much better than the grasshopper chassis, give one a run
I like that tamiya make different body styles for buggies. I don’t want some generic modern truggy. It’s not for everyone but for some people it’s a nice option.
My 1997 Mad Bull RC buggy still runs 👍
My first Tamiya ever was the Fighter Buggy RX around '97. Not seen the vid yet but looking forward to it.
Oil-shocks? Didn't expect this 🤔
NOT a Collector's Buggy. This was made for fun, and that's the only reason I'd have one.
The laydown Rear Gearbox does improve Handling... But remember it's still a basic Buggy. 😉
I’m thinking of getting one just for fun
I do love a special edition. Gun metal and yellow/gold is such a great combination!
I like the box art colours as well
Just received mine today, bought because my sons mad bull is so fun to drive. Think the wheels and decals are really nice on this .
It looks nice, some heritage, a modern vintage if you like.......tempted to add to the collection.......
I am going for one. All that bling out the box , Makes a great place holder.
Build video coming in the next few days Paul :)
I like this one, its a cool looking toy buggy.
Forgot to mention that the battery compartment on the xv-01 will require you to choose a battery that does not have the leads coming out of the top
Thanks for the info, I think I have one
Tamiya make different kits for different levels of enthusiast or hobbyist if your after something modern and of a higher quality they do stuff like the TC01 etc or the new ta08 , saying that we could do with a new modern buggy. Anyway the the Fighter Rx memorial celebrates 25 years since it was first introduced as the DT01 chassis and used in fighter buggy cup in Europe. I think it’s cool even if its more toy like
I love the box for that buggy, looks fantastic! The only minus points for me are that they should have at least included the Torque Tuned motor, that motor comes with the Racing Fighter and definitely makes a difference. The other thing is..........plastic bushings!! Come on Tamiya, pull your finger out!
Just ordered one and it will be a display model. Sentimental value for me as my first ever was the original fighter buggy rx
Love the car my first rc ao happy to have it again the rad for shell used to cove heat block on esc
Looks like a really fun kit !
I think I'll buy one and stash it away for a rainy day, along with all my other rainy day kits😉
Yes defo love it as I have one myself, and looking forward to keeping it
Mine is on its way - £107 delivered from time tunnel models
Enjoy your build. I’ll be building it as soon as the XV01 is finished.
@@RCKickschannel I may not build but i do have a violet racer to go with it
D5 is in the D metal bag where you see it at 5:40. So its there. Just need to find it now :)
No its a plastic set.
@@RCKickschannel Aww you are right... and all the other parts on D tree are not gona break so a pain to have to buy the whole parts tree. And its 13 euros.
Hi Gavin did you see Top Gear on Sunday series 30 episode 2 they had a Tamiya VQS on the show.
Add in a sensored brushless motor into this & I'd imagine it would show it's capabilities pretty well, like a 2500 - 3000 kv sensored motor on 2s lipo with the tamiya esc & running an external lipo alarm if there is room for it, should be a 13.5 turn motor which the Tamiya esc shouldn't have issues with.
Kind of want too see them do this kind of look with the dt02 desert gator or sand viper, black & gold but perhaps do grey or chrome wheels or just entirely black wheels with some decals too add on like a red stripe around the ring of them
OOOH! This one really is splitting opinions! Nice video, Gav - I like how you sat on the fence! TBH, this will only appeal to die hard old school Tamiya fans - but I gotta say, if you offered me one , I wouldn't say no! Take it easy, mate... :)
Looks like a fun kit to build.
Should be a simple build for a beginner
@@RCKickschannel Yes it should, I am not sure of the looks of that cockpit wow
Like the black and gold
If they throw in a “tribute” motor like the Big Wig Special motor, it will qualify as a collectible entry-grade, akin to the gold edition Dash-1 emperor (1/32).
Nice Kit 🤩
Got mine in today and was actually quite impressed with the packaging. May well sit on this and see if it grows on me. Kit cost is pretty low so I'm not fussed about selling on if I don't fancy it just yet and with the swanky packaging may well have a reasonable re-sell value... 🤷♂️
I recon if the canopy window was a blacked out window it would improve the look of the car
Thinking of buying one and putting it away
Going bnib collection I think this will fit in well
Think I’m with you Gav on this. Undecided, but kind of like the colour scheme etc. Saving my cash at the moment but may see about getting one later this year
I just don’t know yet. I don’t think I’m going to like it but I’ll give it the benefit for now.
Klasse meiner kommt in zwei Wochen geil geil,direkt Tuning
If the steering for this buggy is the same as the Mad Bull (I have an MB) then it will have a bit of slop in it. Not an issue for just generally hooning and bashing about ;).
Love to see the i20 WRC on the XV chassis
I’ve ordered one it’s just nice to have one for the price.
O no Brad should be here soon! 😁🤣😁
Haha! Too right, Steve! :D
Do know what... sod I’m gonna get one
But i will say for getting people into the Hobby, kids and adults alike then these type of kits are good. When you get a kit Gavin on the show it might not be a first choice for you , or me for example but a good entry kit for new blood
Looks amazing, how about giving it away on the channel to a lucky subscriber?
That would be great fun, unfortunately the channel currently doesn’t have enough income to do giveaways like these anymore. Maybe next year with a little more growth. 👍🏻👍🏻
now do i save my money and wait fir the SUBARU IMPREZA STI on the XV-01 chassis mmm the only thing putting me off this memorial edition is that its a basic chassis and can be built in a couple of hours i want something to get my teeth into any suggestions 🤔🤔
paint it satin black !
Still think you should get ball racers
mmmm not sure about this one i like the look of it but is it just a glorified mad bull are hop up parts available
Kind of prefer the original colour
Really, I’m the other way, I like this one more myself. 👍🏻
Mad Bull is my favourite tamiya ever great fun and durable though the steering is really sloppy in stock form. They should be putting bearings in these kits though tamiya really need to wake up and stop cheaping out in bearings.
It looks better than a rookie rabbit, but just not my cup of tea.
hay gav those xray rc cars are sooooooooooo expensive 600 to 700 squid at that price you need to be a very serious rc builder way out of my league
This would be great my 5 year old daughter wants a buggy. Having trouble finding anything here in Australia. Do you know of any hobby shops that ship worldwide please? Love the vids cheers.
The front suspension is so disappointing. That Buggy was a fault and I wonder why they repeate that
A bit of a marmite buggy, tamiya's 2021 striker.
do u have a rc10gt2 ?
No I don't
Does this mean the XV 01 Lancia is getting pushed down the list again?
No it's being built this week. I just made a stupid mistake yesterday by not actually having any white PS Tamiya paint in stock. I know right, you would think I would learn as I make this mistake about once a month. I'm building the chassis today for a build video release tomorrow evening.
@@RCKickschannel Excellent, can't wait to see how you do those stickers. Love my Lancia even if it is the TT02.
No it not but box is premium
This is an entry level buggy and aimed at a younger person starting out. In my opinion this kit is too expensive. Drop the oil filled shocks but add the bearings and bring the price down to £80 Tamiya. This is no performer but a fun bash about for a beginner nothing more.
Or get a Grasshopper for £100 :D
First :)
No excuse for plastic bushings and a stock silver can these days. It keeps Tamiya firmly at the toy end of the RC car hobby.
Absolutely agree. UTTERLY pathetic considering the low cost of bearings.
One thing is clear, people will not be buying this to drive it.
When you consider that you can get a WLToys buggy that will out pace, out last, out equipment and all round out do this and comes with EVERYTHING you need to run... Where's Tamiyas head at?
It’s a good point
@@RCKickschannel I know they can get the units sold even though they price high and the manufacturing techniques of the WLToys may be morally questionable (?) but I would have thought that Tamiya would be looking to grow their market share by putting out either better equipped kits or making their priced more realistic and in line with other companies.
For instance you can get a couple of Kyosho kits for similar money to something like the Egress or Top Force Evo...
That's just madness! 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Nah, not my cup of tea Gavin - sell it
Not in to these children’s kits. They’re like something you’d get out of a quicksilver 10 pence pusher machine in the amusements.
For kids they’re ideal mind but way too expensive for what it is.
Release an anniversary buggy when the original was a total flop and uglier than the Sonic Fighter. Absolutely not iconic by any stretch.
Well done Tamiya, maybe they'll do a comical version too for extra points...
Its a pity the car does not look as good as the box. Its ugly Gav.
