- Earlier this year Tamiya announced the all new BBX RC Buggy found here: bit.ly/3CmTAUa This buggy has a lot of people talking even outside of the Tamiya fan base. This kit gives us the look of a true off-road buggy, like what we were used to seeing from Tamiya in the early days. But this kit also gives us a lot of modern day design elements and the total package appears to be a success. But once Greg gets into this buggy in the video you’ll see there’s much more to enjoy. This is a RC video you can’t miss!

When Tamiya announced the all new BBX RC Buggy found here: bit.ly/3CmTAUa we were pretty excited! This buggy has a lot of people talking even outside of the Tamiya fan base. The mix of the classic buggy look and modern chassis design, just, well, works! Who is picking one up and what color will you paint yours?

It makes me so happy that companies like Tamiya and Associated are still in business after 40ish years. I still have an original Midnight Pumpkin and Wild Willy from my dad :)
Always loved the lunchbox kit myself
not to split hairs, but those companies are a fair bit older. tamiya is almost 80 years in business (and manufactures rc cars since '76), asso over 60. even losi was founded over and traxxas almost 40 years ago. :-)
Right On! I too have an original Wild Willy, a Rough Rider, Grass Hopper and a Frog. All early 80's cars I bought as a teen.
@@powderriver2424It warms my heart to read your comment! I'm 57 now, and way back I also had a Grasshopper and a Frog! They were a blast back then, and this new thing doesn't seem light years ahead of the Frog! My last buggy was an R/C-10 Associated, and that was fun! Long time ago.
They survived as the entry kits.
Some bigger clubs literally have a Tamiya class or two, one for kids and one for older newbies.
So good to see a long travel new buggy from Tamiya. Unlike all the modern floor scrapers :)
you should try a short course buggy by losi jconcepts or associated as the name implies just a short course truck made to look like a buggy pretty much
@@AnthonyELombardi I'm thinking a Mamba on 3s would probably buzz saw that differential.
@@125southernnh2 a low turn brushed motor on 2S will last about 45-60 seconds. I ran a 13T brood on 2S in mt XV-01 and the top gear and idler in the tranny melted in less than a minute.
Brings back old memory of Frog and Grasshopper from my younger days. 😊
It´s like they Reinvented the Rough Rider , super cool kit.
A welcomed fresh addition from Tamiya! I’m definitely going to need to add one to the Tamiya fleet!
Great look and review Greg!👍😊
I agree! Really happy with this kit. Thanks!!
I am glad to see a full on kit. I miss the true depth of the RC hobby. When I seen this new buggy became very excited this appears to be an awesome buggy.
Yeah, the RTR craze has made the hobby less fun. People dont seem to want to build RC cars anymore, Arrma even had trouble selling their rollers, because people rather bought the RTRs.
Met a guy today that had one of these, he let me have a go and it was lovely! So smooth over the bumps, handled superbly. I now want one
Finally! I've been waiting for so long to see a review of the BBX since it was announced. I'll be waiting to hear long term reviews of this buggy but so far it's looking so good. Well done tamiya!
cool kit little rwd buggies are fun especially a vintage scale looking one
This is so bad ass old skool. I still have my Tamiya Grasshopper II and another TL01 Chassis. Had so much fun 😊
that looks just like the xv01 trans, very good tranmission
@@AnthonyELombardi my xv01 gears have taken and continue to take some serious power, i run two front transmissions for a dual motor setup, obviously they have their limits but they're smooth as butter and oh so quiet
I just stopped by to say how good I think your videos are. I said to my wife today, 'It's guys like this who are helping the hobby to grow in a positive way'. I love this new Tamiya buggy I am very tempted. I have a Sandscorcher still sat unbuilt in its box but I think I will have this as well. Wife likes it as well so I might be able to get away with it! :D Looks excellent in the flame red!
Thanks so much for the kind words! RC media has actually been my career for the last 30 years. Magazines and now digital media. My primary goal has always been to help people get into and enjoy this hobby successfully.
@@rcdriver You are welcome. It is not kindness it is facts. I think you run a great show and do it very professionally. Without good TH-cam channels like yours I think this hobby would be slipping away. Just a shame no major TV stations cannot see the potential. I think they are missing out.
Great job on the review, especially all the detail pics during the building process. And I agree that gives a nod to the Tamiya Super Champ...it is like a modern version of the SC.
Thanks Bud!
It does look more like the rough rider box art than the actual rough rider. 👍👍👍
I still don't understand how my 80's Tamiya Buggy was so much better! Was all waterproof and alloy parts all over. Tires, wheels and all details was amazing!
I wanted a Super Champ in the early 1980's but they were expensive! $330 in 1982 would be just about $1000 now adjusted for inflation. So the BBX costs like 1/3 of the Super Champ did. (And the Futaba gear to go with it was even worse!)
Looks really good and great to see Tamiya starting to finally make new chassis vs just constantly re-releasing old designs. I used to be a massive tamiya collector till I moved to lego but now I am getting out of lego this might get me back into tamiya rc.
Just went to the hobby shop to pick up a bbx. While chatting brought up your video is why I was buying the kit to find out you filmed you test drive there. Really made my day. Love your content and look forward to more.
Thanks so much! Hopefully we bump into each other there sometime. John has an awesome shop. Enjoy the build!
My lovely wife has just bought me one of these for my birthday.
First new RC for 12 years! Can’t believe it but I have to wait for end of the month to open it 😢😂
Surely Tamiya are on to a winner with this one! They are finally back to doing what they do best. I wonder if they will offer a single tyre and wheel to go on the back as an option or whether they will make you buy a set of 4?
You have to admit Tamiya is cool. Thanks Greg, have a good weekend.
They need to start making 1/5 scale R/C cars
Reminds me of my Rough Rider. I still have the Rough Rider from all those years ago.
Throwback to the Roughrider! Bring on the Sandscorcher!
I am in the process of building mine right now. I think it's a great build, much better quality (and higher price) than before. Saw in another channel that 3 O-rings on the shaft of the rear shocks fixes the dogbone coming out of the tranny issue. Also, the kit seems to be a bit bigger than 1/10 scale... at least to me. Great video!
Great presentation and thanks for showing all the detail. Your red bodydesign looks really cool. But for some reasons it might also work without the body parts (my mind).
Tamiya has another winner in its hands, this one will have to be a Christmas present as I am just too busy but I can't wait
You know it's not a basic Tamiya when it comes with aluminum shocks 👍🙂
Looks cute!
Full ball bearings! Welcome Tamiya to the 21st century. Let's wait another 20 years for brushless technology.
So finally you have it!! Lucky guy! I'm stil waiting for mine and it's so hard to wait. Ciao, Nanni
I love the softer long travel suspension setup! Gives me that Kyosho Rampage Pro truck vibe, hope Tamiya introduces a chalanger to it based on this buggy.
Would make a cool Silver Can car for RCHR on Friday nights this winter
I bet it would!
Arrma had the Raider XL and honestly, I don’t know why it isn’t more popular than what it was because I own one, and it’s very fun to drive. I’m glad Tamiya is bringing Vintage back too.
Great color choice Greg, always a tough decision with Tamiya. Box art or not box art. Awsome review as well.
Usually I like to go with the box art. But this kit was different on many levels and pushed me to go against my normal routine.
You did not disappoint with this as love the colour and very rare l say this much cooler then the blue boxart! Quality kit and looks so golden era tamiya! Some tyre lettering would be killer!
Love it! I would love to get one to the beach! Great vid.
Nice one buddy.
Cheers James
White tire lettering would be nice! 😀
Heck yea going kinda fast is fun again
I agree fast is cool, but also stressful. This was back to just right.
Pumped on this one. Cannot wait to throw paddles on and rip the dunes!
That'll be sweet!!
That thing looks incredible
Seems like a lot of fun. Great overview and track action
I recently purchased the Tamiya Grasshopper 2 kit doing some tweaking. Can't wait to get it outside.
Awesome, enjoy!
Looks like one of them '80s Tamiya models that we had as kids..
Wow Tamiya welcome to the party. Where you been for the past 15 years? Hex hardware, 12mm hex, lipo ready battery tray. Long time coming. I want one for father's day.
This one could make a racing category on its own
1st Tamaya I’ve wanted since the grasshopper 🤷🏻♂️😂🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Outstanding description! This Buggy looks at home on that track. What a beauty!
Thank you!! The big jump in the center wasn’t really suited for it, but the rest of the track was right and fun to drive. This will be a great buggy for those backyard tracks and dirt lot fun.
Definitely doesn't look at home on that track. But it looks fun! If its popular I hope to see some stock racing classes with it!
you'r the best ! we love you :)
In time people will make upgrades that will make this sweet buggy run super fast! I see a new trend of racing with this BBX!
I think you’re right, we’ll see some aftermarket support for this. A race class would be neat, but this was meant more as a fun buggy.
Looks like a modern version of the Rough Rider.
Looks fantastic sir! Can’t wait to get this one on my show. ❤
Please do a follow up with this car! Shock tuning and maybe see how it does in a race? I’d be very interested
Yeah def agree with this…looking forward to seeing any tuning advice and possible upgrades.
This thing looks so nice, gonna buy one for sure.
Hex hardware? Great job Tamiya! It’s about time you brought out a kit with hex hardware!
Tamiya has a few kits that have hex hardware.
Really enjoyed the vid Greg! Looking forward to getting started on mine when it arrives! Love that red paint scheme🤘🏻
Very excited about this buggy! Looks like Tamiya out did themselves here. Can’t wait to get my hands one. Thanks for the info.
I really like it Greg . I’d better start saving . Great review and love the paint job 👍
I like tamiya rc car very much.
Great review. I was a bit undecided about this buggy. Might have to get one now.
It has to come, in 1:5!.👍😁
Tamiya is the king of kits!!!!
Great video review of an awesome new buggy from Tamiya!
Thank you! They did a great job with this kit.
Looks just like my kyosho sandmaster ez series, so cool 😎
Looking good 🙂 thanks for the review. First review I have seen of this buggy 👍
I have to much buggies, so no for me. But if they release a retro trophy truck on that chassis I'm in!❤
Beautiful buggy
Awesome video. Great hobby shop as well.
My original comment got moderated but I wanted to say that it’s a super nice all new kit from tamiya, just a bit pricey at 470$cad. Nice review and run!
Hmm, must have gotten snagged by TH-cam. I don’t delete any comments unless it that giveaway spam stuff. lol Thanks! Ouch on the CAD price. Sorry 😞
Great video brother! I can't wait for Rc Madness to have these in stock! I love how scale it looks! Tamiya has always impressed me for scale fun rc!
I love to race a spec class of these in rooster tail dirt!
Looks like the old rough rider from the 80,s, very similar
The suspension of the front bumper looks like the same faulty design like from „The Hornet“ and others. Straight and high, one single plastic part without any reinforcement. A few hard hits and it breaks!
I preordered this back in February! Really can’t wait to get it.
Awesome! Enjoy it when it arrives!
@@rcdriver thanks!!
What’s the delivery time frame?
😊
When buggies have heavy front tires like truck tires you have less ability to “pull up” the nose while the buggy is airborne off a jump. Tweaking the front springs and shocks becomes more important if you want good jumping.
Wow that jump?
great looking kit!! awesome review!
Very very nice kit that Tamiya has just released.
I think it will sell very well.
I have a legend scorpion from Kyosho and I admit that this one makes me very very very keen.
Fantastic overview 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!
it looks soooooooooooooo good in red...
I’m convinced this isn’t a Tamiya kit. This is very “off brand” for them. This looks like a very good kit. I don’t see these ever being allowed into any racing classes, but would be fun to have several on a back yard track.
They did a nice job. This is the perfect buggy for some old school backyard track racing.
No way, it's sooo 100% Tamiya. Fits perfectly alongside and within the lineage of Willy, Lunchbox, Sand Scorcher, Clod, TRF, Concept cars... Big happy quirky Tamiya family 🙂
Fantastic, without taking away from all the other great options out there. I agree with it being in a niche of its own.
I'm sorry...but why wouldn't it be "allowed"?? It's just a 2wd buggy.
It screams SuperChamp.
Has to be tamiyas best suspension ever
I bought one to build and one to keep in the wrapper
Reminds me of the first or original RC10.
I'm getting the 5b vibe! Should get myself one! Lol
I want one, it's beautiful 👍
Wow great overview well done Tamiya looks excellent 😊😃😃❤️
Thank you, it was a great kit to feature!
Love the look of it...
cool buggy and run,great review
Great video!
it Deserves a Rear Wing, just like the one of a nikko lobo 2 q=D
Awesome! Great review!
Low profile servo caught me out, had to take a trip to local model shop, half way through build. 😂
Doh! Enjoy the rest of the build now. 😄
I love it! I really want this buggy style but in 4wd! Any suggestions welcome!
Had to buy one even though it is on back order. Lol
I WISH THERE WHERE MORE RTR Tamiya s RC TO GET
It looks like a revision of the Rough Rider from the 80's brought into the 2020's.
Very nice looking buggy. 2wds are fun to mess with. I have a Tamiya Wild Willy 2 on it's way and it will be my first kit car. I think if I do ok on it I might very well try building a BBX. You did such a nice job on yours. Great channel and thanks kindly for sharing. 👍🏆
It’s very similar to the hot shot crossed with the wild one tamiya made about 30 years ago ,still have the wild one in the garage
Looks like an associated stealth transmission
It’s looks like an update of the old Rough Rider kit.
i like it, however i only do nitro or gas, i need the smoke and noise lol, looks cool on the self
