Thank you for watching this video! We are having a big push trying to get the subs up for the channel, please consider liking and subscribing and I am sure I will see you on another video!!👍👍❤✔
I bought the Terra Scorcher last year in October as my first Tamiya kit and put a BZ Superstock in it as well as upgrading the A5 part that everyone says fails. It’s seen a lot of use on an old dirt track and I’ve had no issues or breakages except on one occasion when a small rock jammed up the motor. I highly recommended that kit.
I also have a BZ in this and it has the upgraded A5. It did take a bad front crash at high speed and I’m convinced the A5 stopped it from being a disaster, it now has aluminium front knuckles. I’m tempted to upgrade everything to aluminium now and it would be a tank 🤔😆👍
All the cars look great and seem to preform well but imo the Tamiya Avante is hands down the best looking buggy. I would love to have one some day and hope they are still available. I just ordered a Wild Willie and that will be my first Tamiya and I'm excited to get it assembled and painted.
funnily enough I am really tempted with a Wild Willy also, I have a design idea for it, maybe this is a sign for me to pull the trigger 🤔 The Avante is fantastic, but cost wise its at that top end really, especially once Hop ups are added 👍
@@RCsoandsoThe Wild Willy is a low cost project. The Avante is quite a bit more considering that I would never want to take it off road. Ideally I would have it in a glass case with a mirrored electric turn table under it. War wounds on Wild Willy will just add character. So no worries about bashing it.
It's actually amazing how they can be so different, even when they're basically the same... The only one I know is the TT-02B... My favourite is probably DF-03, but recently I fallen for the DF-01... They're all winners, ha ha!
So the clear and defined winner is I need to get some more 4WD buggies in my life.. Got it!!!! I a off to go get in trouble with my wife!! I do love my PE2 on the track but in the grass is less impressive. For the grassy runs I prefer the ones on the Thunder Shot chassis and those don't seem to do as good on the track (stock at least). I do need a Hot Shot and I guess an Avante now to see how they compare. I give these videos a solid 5 stars as I always enjoy them no matter what color the timer is!
I would like another Hot Shot but a box fresh one. This Hot Shot and Avante are part of the Project Dusty when we bought some cars secondhand. All of them did a good job on the day and 4wd handles so well. When you buy some more pretend they are a present for Mrs Addams Playground 😆😂👍
It’s pretty close to box art we have given it a light respray to tidy it up due to age and added new re re stickers on the shell as the original ones had degraded and peeled over the years, for its age the shell and wing are in great condition. We have the original wheels they do need cleaning and maybe painting if desired, the original tyres are on them but are past saving they were well used in a previous life. The chassis is also in a great condition but obviously for the age it does have a few blemishes here and there, over all though it is a really nice example of a vintage hotshot
Nice review, lads! I agree, they are all winners in a namby-pamby way, but I don't have the winner, looks like I need a Hotshot in my life! Cheers! :O)
Hope Tamiya will rere the Hotshot II someday. Then I will have the complete Hotshot named family 😃Great video. I must say, you rarely see withered grass in the UK.
Great review.👍 I have the Terra Scorcher and Hotshot. Out of the two, the Terra Scorcher (despite it having issues just about every time I take it out😣) is still my favorite overall. Hotshot looks great though. 😎
Not sure what options you have there, but I would love to see these wicked buggies having a turn on some packed sand or packed gravel. Great review 😁😁👍👍
Grass is something that always perplexes me as it’s usually too long, or usually wet over here. We may have another beach trip this summer and we have a new quarry location to check out. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked it 👍
I like that 👍 We did have the Sand Scorcher with us, but I don’t really consider it in this class, but it does have very good reasons to be there. I need to get around with changing the wheels on it I think as we haven’t it a beach in a while, but as soon as I do, it will be back. I may start painting them in the morning 🤔🎨🖌
Great stuff guys. Like you say they all have their own charm. I have a Terra Scorcher to build and was going to do the usual thing of making it brushless but that might be asking for trouble? Anyway I hope that your oven is ok despite the colour of the clock 🙂
With the Terra Scorcher it all depends what you are planning with the A5 piece 🤔 The oven gets hot when I want it to so all is well regardless of clock colours 😆😂👍
Yes the A5 piece is a must. I’ve upgraded most of mine to aluminium now so it’s bomb proof and it isn’t much heavier, I think it performs much better now also 👍

@@RCRoads You can't keep an Avante in a Glass Case, you need to get it outside and scuff it up a bit!
Cool I hopped on this result. The Hot Shot is one of my favorite buggies in my collection, but I never thought It'll get so far.
It did give a long speech thanking everyone at the reward ceremony 😆😂👍
@@RCsoandso maybe a Sunday video😉
Interesting comparison and points by the chief engineer! You have a new sub!
Yes he certainly knows his onions, and a bit about Tamiya buggies 😂 thanks for the sub and welcome onboard 👍
5:25 => "C´mon Paranoid Perry - you CAN drive up that tree, ´cause: BEING NUTS IS NEAT !!!" 😁
I think they do make a Tamiya Squirrel, if not we might 😆😂👍
It's actually amazing how they can be so different, even when they're basically the same... The only one I know is the TT-02B... My favourite is probably DF-03, but recently I fallen for the DF-01... They're all winners, ha ha!
I think they are all fun, in similar ways, I far prefer 4WD over the 2WD buggies, but crashes tend to be more costly 💰👍

@@RCsoandso Would you sell that HS2?...🙂
@@dexio8601 its possible, it is fully working and goes like sugar of a shovel
@@RCsoandso What's the condition like, is it close to box art and does it have the oroginal tyres? What kind of price too

It was a fully scientific review, we didn’t just assign scores…honest 😆😂👍
@@RCsoandso Haha - I bet you didn't! 😅👍
Hope Tamiya will rere the Hotshot II someday. Then I will have the complete Hotshot named family 😃Great video. I must say, you rarely see withered grass in the UK.
Well yes it’s time to consider what will be announced in January 🤔 we can’t win with the grass over here recently ☀️☀️☀️
Great review.👍 I have the Terra Scorcher and Hotshot. Out of the two, the Terra Scorcher (despite it having issues just about every time I take it out😣) is still my favorite overall. Hotshot looks great though. 😎
Singing to the choir, the Terra Scorcher is my favourite but it has some quirks to it, but I like the styling and it is a weighty model 👍
Not sure what options you have there, but I would love to see these wicked buggies having a turn on some packed sand or packed gravel.
Great review 😁😁👍👍

I like them all but always wanted a plasma edge for some reason , mid summer here in Japan 🇯🇵 every day 🥵👊🏻👍🏻
Plasma Edge is a good choice. It’s hotter than usual in the UK, miss the grey skies 😆😂👍
@@RCsoandso Take care with this strange weather 👊🏻👍🏻
🍻🍸🥃 helps
My fav is the Sand Scorcher SRB aka "Sir Not Appearing In This Film"
I like that 👍 We did have the Sand Scorcher with us, but I don’t really consider it in this class, but it does have very good reasons to be there.

@@RCsoandso Oh I got a metal upgrade part for that A5. Any other weak bits?
Depends how hard you hit a wall, I have aluminium front knuckles in mine as a result of a crash. A5 in Metal and Pins is the best advice though 👍
@@RCsoandso You might wanna try to temper the original A5 Tamiya part in the oven ! After that, it should be as hard as KRUPP STAHL ;_)
I still love the Bigwig 😊
I must say, I don't actually think I have seen a Bigwig in the flesh so to speak
They are all great runners.👍😊
Tamiya spoils us with the 4WD range they offer 👍
Everyone knows the terra scorcher is king. Better ground clearance, better handling and tough after a5 aluminum upgrade
Yes the A5 piece is a must. I’ve upgraded most of mine to aluminium now so it’s bomb proof and it isn’t much heavier, I think it performs much better now also 👍
There was no need for the picture of your "chief post-office robbing mechanic" in his bin
I don’t think he has done any Post Office jobs, I think there could be. Couple of video shops he is black listed from maybe 🤔
