We've needed this. More of these honestly. Still a lot of outdoor tracks that have loose dirt. We need cars that can run on loose out door dirt well. I hope 1/10 makes a comeback on outdoor tracks.
I have started building mine and I find it very enjoyeble. I am a extremely structured and organized person,that helps alot when building it. Looking forward to see how yours turnes out 👍
I finished my build today (apart from the shell) my findings are as follows: Make sure your servo is no larger than 4.5cm deep otherwise it fouls on the steering arm, a low profile servo is your best bet. I was going to just put a Tamiya sport tuned motor in mine that I had lying around but the spindle (if that's what the bit you put the small cog with the grub screw on is called) is slightly too short so I had to take my Le Mans brushed motor out of my turbo optima which fits perfectly. Also take great care at stages 18 and 19 in the manual to use the correct parts or you'll struggle to fit the motor in, the instructions in places are a little vague so prepare for some swearing. Other than that it's a nice wee build 🙂👍
P.S. don't be put off by the plastic shocks, they actually work way better than my gold ones I bought for my Javelin and are far easier to set up (i'm still having issues with the gold ones) Paul
Gavin, cut a small lenth of plastic straw and put it on the nozzle of the spray can. That'll get the paint in the ends of the rear wing. About 30mm or so, just dont have it too long. 👍
Glad to see they've finally made it to the UK! Nice selection of upgrades you've got. Mine is still stock, but eventually I want to add some option parts. Good luck with the build. 👍 Oh, and painting the sides of the rear wing is a real pain! 😅
Manual looks exactly like the kyosho I remember playing with years ago with the GP Pure Ten kits. ❤ Can't wait to get one of these. But knowing me I will probably sit waiting for me to build like my legendary series ultima, optima mid, beetle and turbo scorpion 😊
Looking forward to seeing what the UK TH-camrs all do with the dirt masters. Body is all fine on mine getting started on the build tomorrow I’m Hoping for a nice build even if it is a little vague in places. Enjoy it and look forward to seeing it done :)
Thanks for this video. Sounds like Kyosho are doing nostalgic rereleases like Tamiya. Seems to be a trend with hobby companies across all genres. Corgi for example are rebirthing die cast toy car favourites from the 1960s such as the Aston Martin and Marcos sports cars. Very entertaining and interesting to watch your demonstrations and hear your opinions on kits and the RC industry in general. 🙂
I would also take a look at this modeltune.co.uk/collections/rc-cars/products/71400438-pr-s1-rm-1-10-scale-electric-powered-2wd-buggy-kit?variant=47599150760213
@RCKickschannel since it's an actual "made in Japan" kit I was leaning towards a Japanese motor. Both Kyosho and Tamiya have a few that they still manufacture in Japan.
I'm gonna say the Dirt Master was already in development way before the Genova. I don't see Kyosho rushing to get a product out to compete with another of similar design. And the time frame from announcement to release date is too short.
I would agree but one thing that makes me think otherwise is, why did Kyosho rerelease an old racing buggy and put a vintage style body on it. Why was it also modified to lower the price to the price point of the Genova? This is not something Kyosho has done before with the legendary series cars. Regardless, it’s a fun subject to debate 👍🏻
@@RCKickschannel I think they went with the RB5 chassis because it would be cheaper and easier to bring up to modern standards. I have no idea on the body. There are too many past influences for that. The Genova is actually closer in price to the Ultima rere. At least in the states. And the Dirt Master is actually closer in price to the Tamiya Sand Viper. So the Dirt Master could actually be Kyosho taking a stab at the entry level kits Tamiya makes.
@@alphawlff I’ve started building my Dirt Master and Kyosho haven’t changed much from the RB5 really. The only thing I’ve seen is carbon composite parts changed out for plastics, plastic shims and plastic nuts all to lower the kit price point. Some of the parts are still carbon composite like the front top bulkhead so that was a nice surprise. The Genova was never sold outside Japan so comparing prices can’t be done on your local price as it’s an unofficial import. If you look at Japan only prices, the Genova is selling for 26,700 Yen, and the Dirt Master is selling for 28,00 Yen making it a little more expensive.
@@RCKickschannel Right on. In the states it is 200. And the closest serious competition at this price point is the DT02 and DT03. Everything else is 100 and 200 more in price. I hope this does well for Kyosho. I would like to see them bring out more at this price point or less.
@@RCKickschannel Yes it's basically a rerelease of an RB5. My point is the way it's packaged and the way the manual is written are the same as a current Kyosho race kit. There's a difference from the legendary series kits but not current race kits. So my point is there's nothing "old" about the manual or packaging as you said many times. I never said the buggy design itself isn't old. Looks like a nice kit overall. It would be nice if I could actually find one somewhere.

Kyosho content!! I can start the day with a fresh cup of tea and simp out over the Dirt Master.
Pre ordered a couple of these a few months ago, finally arrived this week. Thanks for the video.
Already have mine built and running. Awesome little buggy. I'm having a blast with it.
Looks Amazing mate, I just got the Tamiya Hornet(re-release) yesterday, Hope you're build is fun!-Good luck!
Hornet is a classic and a fun vintage build. A lovely box art 80s style
@@RCKickschannel yeah I’m stoked about that

Paul
That’s for the tips 👍🏻👍🏻
My one of my front shocks acted like it was crossthreaded and wouldn't adjust easily. On the car the cap would unscrew before the collar would move.
Gavin, cut a small lenth of plastic straw and put it on the nozzle of the spray can. That'll get the paint in the ends of the rear wing. About 30mm or so, just dont have it too long. 👍
Nice one, I will try that

I do like the look of these 'modern retro' buggies, might get one at a later date.
Cool video Gav. Mines on back order. Good to see what upgrades your thinking off.

I see you have painted up your body 👍🏻👍🏻
finally arrived to the UK

I hope this makes it to Canada eventually!
I would think so
We’ve got the Jegs Stinger which is a copy of the Genova, or an rb6 but has a bit different body
Looking forward to seeing what you do body wise 🤔 i just went plain jane 😂
Awesome unboxing video Gavin! 👍😊 where’s the shock oil and grease?!
That was my thought.
It does come with grease but no shock oil unfortunately
You don’t get any shock oil in the kit but you do get some grease. I also missed that it has bearings for everything apart from the steering.
Oh? What are you doing on Rebeccas Channel?
LOL 650+ RC videos made for you all and this is what I get. 😂🤣😜 Nice to be loved 🥰
😆👍
Nice. I'd love to get one of these, but I have an RB5 already so....
Just get the body set if you like the look. The RB5 is already a much higher spec RC 👍🏻
Forgive me if it’s already covered but do you have the list of all the upgrades you recommend.
All my upgrade parts will be in the build video that’s coming soon 👍🏻
Nice!
I'm new to RC cars and like 2WDs.
What's the difference to a Tamiya Neo Fighter or the upcoming BBX?
Complete different buggies. Almost everything is different between the two. The only thing these two have in common is that both are 2WD
@@RCKickschannel But like in a backyard gravel and grass situation? 170 $ get you a lot of hop-ups
Recommend this or Schumacher cougar classic for turf ?

For under $200 usd, it's quite the bargain. Im still debating about what motor to put in mine. Be interesting to see what rckicks uses.
Brushless HobbyWing I think
@RCKickschannel since it's an actual "made in Japan" kit I was leaning towards a Japanese motor. Both Kyosho and Tamiya have a few that they still manufacture in Japan.
awesome
Just a thought how about along with yourself and some other creators you all pick up this buggy set it up bog standard and do some dirt racing
We are doing this now with a Tamiya TT02 V8 Audi road car kit. Stock racing

Fack butt RC 10
The manual and packaging are the same as any Kyosho racing kit. There's nothing "old" about any of it.
The design is from what, 2007-2008? Isn’t that 15 years ago now?

@@briana2137 I bought mine directly from Kyosho.
@@alphawlff I will have to take a look. They always showed out of stock but I haven't checked in a couple weeks.
