Tamiya Fighting Buggy (Super Champ) Shakedown タミヤ　ファイティングバギー

🐌 Apologies for the excessive (?) use of slo mo in this video - but I just love seeing that rear suspension at work! 😁

Wow! What a buggy.👍 😎 The unique rear suspension set up with remote oil reservoir was what originally drew me to the Fighting Buggy. But, immediately upon opening the box I realized this was a very different kit to the Tamiya's I'm used to building!

HEAVY METAL! Quite literally! 😁

The quality is top notch, and very similar to the Kyosho Legendary Series in that regard. The build begins with the rear gearbox and suspension, which when completed has a feeling on solidness and heft to it. But I must admit I was a little disappointed with some aspects of the kit (the noticeable chassis flex being one! 😯). Nevertheless, it's a fascinating insight into early Tamiya Buggy designs.

Any concerns about handling melt away the moment you start driving it! It puts such a smile on your face. 😃 Sure, it ain't fast, and it's got the turning circle of the Titanic, but it is a blast!

Highly recommended!

I'll be putting together another faster tempo video featuring the Fighting Buggy in the not too distant future, so stay tuned.

As always, thanks for watching!
