Thanks for watching Mark. Glad you found it interesting and please consider subscribing. The Saint Dragon chassis is a bargain at that price! You are going to be so pleased with how it drives! The DT03 is a brilliant budget chassis and is through to the final of the 2024 Orchard Raceway on the channel. I love the TT02B also!
Nice flip through of the wish-book! Loads of great stuff and I am very curious as to what is coming out next year! It was the Manta Ray I had out on the track and it was great! It is my new favorite track buggy and a killer for the price!! Highly recommended! Thanks for mentions Craig and I hope you and the family are having a great weekend!!
I couldn’t remember in flow if it was the Top Force or the Manta Ray but I remember it was 🔥🔥🔥 There are a load of awesome RCs on the way and flicking through the catalog reminds me how many awesome RCs are out there now!! Still holding out for a new TRF (or Rere) or another Dyna Storm!
@@theoagrc The TRF stuff is too pricey for me, they are nice to look at but too much money. I would not complain about a Dyna Storm re-re at all!! I was chatting with Erick from EEK RC and maybe we get the Bear Hawk next year, it is the 40th anniversary for that one and they have never re-released that one. So many to choose from and so little bank account balance! LOL!
@AddamsPlayground That is a good shout by Erik! The Dyna Storm has got to be due another run! I would love something from the TRF buggy line for the track. The DB01 is the closest I have at the moment. Really wish I had picked up a Zahhak back in the pandemic.
There is so much cool stuff on the way! Easy to forget when it is being drip fed to us. I always think about how exciting this catalogue would have been back in the day!!
Hi Craig, well I must say I totally enjoyed flicking through this catalogue with you and hearing your thoughts about all the wonderful kits for 2024. If only we could afford them all! But hey, something for everyone in there I think. Hope your weekend was good, enjoy the rest of the evening, mate! Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed it buddy. There are actually more kits on the way than I think I realised. I am excited for the Super Astute but I still need to grab me a Manta Ray, Wild One and Fox before Tamiya yanks them away again! I still have a feeling that the Dyna Storm is coming back too which will also turn my head 😁
Always enjoy these Craig. Interesting about some of them being slashed in price. I think that maybe Tamiya tries their luck a bit with stupid high prices and sees if they can get away with it. Some of the mark up's must be huge. Nice run though mate. 👍👍
Thanks Pete! I really enjoy flicking through them to in all honesty! Sometimes in the UK we get smashed with higher prices due to the import costs and VAT. I also wonder where the RRP comes from on some of the models as they are quite a bit higher than other parts of the world. We also never se to get any decent promotions other than when something is being discontinued!
Evening Mr OAG! Watched this video last night in bed but must have nodded off before I could leave a comment! (it was the cider that knocked me out, not your video mate!) 😅 Love these little story time with the Craig flick throughs. Another great Tamiya publication there buddy, thanks for sharing. Great to see so many of their vintage stuff still up for grabs, it's the Super Astute re re that will be getting my Tamiya tokens in this selection! Every new release schedule I keep preying for the Avante 2001, King cab, Monster racer and Monte Carlos MO1 MIini..... so a little disappointed to be honest, but it's definitely cool to be seeing the super Astute again! 😊 Nothing too tempting with their newer releases,other than the BBX..... but you hit the nail on the head regarding the price, for that sort of money you're into kyosho legendary series territory! Looking forward to seeing you attack that egress black mate, I think that you'll really enjoy the build..... I also think it should do pretty well around the OR. Awesome video mate. 🙏 😊 👍 👍
Hey James, thanks for watching dude and you got to watch that Cider memory loss 🤪 I really enjoy making these videos. Tamiya have such a wide range of RCs at the moment it is easy to forget what is coming. Back in the day this would have been our first opportunity to see what Tamiya were planning. Super Astute is on order here at the OAG. I have been wanting this since I built my hybrid Madcap. I am sure it is going to light up the Orchard when I build it. I am sorry there were none off your hit list. I am sure some of those will appear soon bud. Glad others agree with me on the BBX. I think it looks cool but would rather pick up other models at £300. I am sure I will get one at some point but I think there will be a cheeky price drop in the future. Now the Egress. I can’t wait to build that and blast it against the Top Force Evo and Optima Mid. It will be a fabulous three way battle! Thanks again for watching buddy!
Thank you for sharing this! I really enjoyed hearing your perspectives on these. I enjoy driving my xv-02 and TD4, especially with the Revive RC parts and body. I haven’t had to do maintenance on these yet. Building them a year after they came out I had lots of advice and parts going into the build the first time around. For daily running I prefer hopped up re-re entry buggies and trucks that I don’t have to worry as much about. 😅
Hey 👋🏻 Firstly thanks for watching the channel dude! Glad to know you’re enjoying the TD4 and the XV02. I didn’t give the XV02 long enough but I do have a XM01 which looks like a slightly shorter version 😁 I am sure I am going to have a great time building the TD4 when I get to it. I run everything here on the OAG which means I am likely going to have to swap the roster out as we go but it is so much fun to blast these RCs every year round my garden track.
Awesome catalogue. Thanks for showing Craig. You nailed it for the Hornet Evo. Because of the price and knowing a DT-03, even with extra ball bearings, is right under 100 bucks, I'm really not sure to add one to my collection.
Hey Dirk, thanks for watching pal! I also linked your Hilux video in the description 👍🏻 Glad I am not the only person who is thinking about the Hornet Evo in that way. I like that Tamiya is trying something different but the price is a little eye watering for me. I would probably rather just add a Hornet to the collection (nothing beats that sound 😎)
@@theoagrc I'm still hoping, tgat there'll be some real innovations for next year's Nürnberg's (Nurenberg's) Toy Fair. Mostly ervery new model of the last year (BB-01, TD4 and 2) were sadly only initial euphoria and then gone. That's a point you got right, too.
Always nice to look in those catalogues. LHS called me last Friday my Porsche 956 was ready for pickup. I was away for the weekend so will try to leave work tomorrow early enough to get it before closing time of my LHS. As a kid BITD I wanted a Wild One. It wasn't in stock when I finally raised enough money for it so I got a Falcon. I finaly got myself a Blockhead Wild One last year but it's not what I expected. I'm having trouble to get the gearbox smooth and setting the suspension hasn't been easy either. It looks great though.
Hey Stef, you are lucky to be getting your 956 so soon! Looks great and if I had more space I think I would be getting one. I love the design of these models and I know how fast they go out of the box 🚀 Thanks for your feedback on the Wild One. I hate it when you get one of those models you just can’t get right (glances at the Cougar). However, I find that those models become more of a passion as they need solving 😁 Maybe one day you’ll see that great looking buggy kicking up the dust on the OR
So many l want and so little cash in the bank 🤣 Great to see thanks for sharing this Craig 👍 Craig the Fav has the same chassis as the Wild One but has the plastic driver and top part bonnet that screws down like the Grasshopper body does and the Wild One has a lexan, polycarbonate bonnet, roof and driver figure and of course obviously the WO has oil shocks all round, different wheels etc. Both beautiful scale buggies and agree mate the original WO is my choice too!
Thanks for the info on the FAV James! Sounds like it is a watered down Wild One so I know where my money will go in the future! There is so many great offerings from the moment from Tamiya we are a little spoilt for choice!! Still want to see a Dyna Storm back in the line up though 😁
Hello Craig I really like these catalog-videos and it reminds me that i have a small contribution for your channel. I have watched videos of other viewers sending parts to the community build, stickers etc. How do i get in contact with you? Sorry for beeing unaware but I just don’t know how it works. Fred
Hey there Fred. Thanks for watching dude. I appreciate people joining me for these random hobby blogs! Thank you for wanting to send something over for the channel pal. Please send me an email at theoag180@gmail.com and we can chat more 🙌🏻
Hi, thanks for watching. I was disappointed in the handling when I compared it to the XV01. I think at the time I had high expectations and I probably didn’t give it a fair crack of the whip. It might return to the fleet in coming years for another go and I have an XM01 which looks very similar in spec. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment 👍🏻
I just went to Japan for work and found a Candy Green Grasshopper for 64 AUD and I was uoset at the next hobby store the C11 was there for 114AUD all good pick it up another time. A BBX is 29,000 yen or 295 AUD or 145 GBP you beed to get to Japan its shows you the tax from the Government shipping are way took much.
That is incredible! I know that shipping costs have been all over the place since the pandemic but prices have not been adjusted for them coming back down. At some point the market will stop spending and I think we’ll see some price adjustments. Taxes and duties unfortunately can’t be avoided! I think I need to start looking at companies with Japanese offices 😁 Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
@theoagrc I'm an Aussie expatvin Malaysia so it's pretty cheap here but my times when I get to go to Japan I really try to pack light. The hop ups are the biggest bargain at the top right when it says 300 that's 300yen or 1.50 quid keep that in mind when you see the inflated prices it quite upsetting.
@kanenstuff Maybe I will retire to Japan and enjoy Tamiya RC into my golden years at reasonable prices 😁 I am always amazed at the availability of parts and kits there too! One day I will go on a RC trip although video games is my other past time and I worry that a Japan trip might bankrupt me 😁
@theoagrc you will be ok the rent is cheap like the RC cars and Playstions games. A must visit is Shogun Burger it's an amazing waygu burger. You should visit just have Google translate ready as about 1% speak English but that ok it's Japanits just not easy to communicate but still a great pace.
I really enjoyed watching you go through the catalogue. Thank you.
Thanks Andrew. These are some of my favourite videos to do 🙌🏻
Cheers mate that was an enjoyable look at the catalogue with some good insight.
Thanks for watching and taking time to comment pal 🙌🏻 I love doing these videos
Just picked up a Saint Dragon new for 89 GBP so glad to hear you recommend it, also have DT03, TT01, TT02B...

Really enjoyable, I watched this twice, both the part with your commentary, and the slow jazz! Who is Poor Birds RC? 😁

Nice catalog! Thanks for the detailed run thru. The BBX is a great buggy. Have not run it for some time now but it holds up just fine. 👌😊
Thanks Sean. Good to know that your BBX is still rocking the beach pal 🙌🏻
Nice thumb-through Craig! So many lovely kits and not enough money!😂
👍😊
That is the problem for us all at the moment Jeremy! At least we have options and I am sure they will be back around if we miss out!
Awesome catalogue. Thanks for showing Craig.

Look at that cover!! The 956! My speed run body that upset a few. Give me the Newman Porsche!!
It looks awesome doesn’t it and from what I can see on FB it is hitting some homes now!!
What's so wrong with your experience with the Tamiya XV 02 Pro? After some upgrades mine still races amazing
Hi, thanks for watching. I was disappointed in the handling when I compared it to the XV01. I think at the time I had high expectations and I probably didn’t give it a fair crack of the whip. It might return to the fleet in coming years for another go and I have an XM01 which looks very similar in spec. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment 👍🏻
@theoagrc a litle tip:
i putted some nuts in the front body posts so front is heavier than rear. That makes it handle 10x better
I might need to do that on the XM01 👍🏻
I might need that tip for the XM01
@@theoagrc they are almost the exact same so do it. It makes it perform a lot better
Where can you get one of those catalogs??
Hi Robert, you just have to keep your eyes peeled on the hobby stores.

😂🤣 everyone has had that chassis opened up far too many times 🙌🏻 I am getting mine ready to rally!
@theoagrc yep. Lifting mine but it looks like I lost the upper links on the rear suspension. I used the wild willy arm to widen it for the SRC
That print is coming out pretty good too.
Awesome dude! Can’t wait to hear how it goes
Thanks brother 🙌🏻
