Tamiya holiday buggy

What is everybodies opinion of these?
I've seen one advertised in the for sale section.
I'm not interested in racing i just want to have indoor and outdoor fun!!

Fun they certainly are - especially when there are a few of them in the same race.

Thanks I might buy one now

I had the original back in the day.... The suspension is simple, as is the drive train. Makes for a good low maintainence buggy. Performance is ok but is no race winner. Tho i did race mine in the early 80s at club level and did ok. Moved on to a super champ
I keep looking at one for nostalgic reasons as it was my first proper rc car.

[buggymonster]

It will be my first rc car aswell.

probably not the best thing for a first rc car if its an original one as you cant get parts and the front of the chassis breaks easily, if its the re release then you'd be ok. lots of more modern cars kicking around at good prices, a lot quicker, better handling and more fun! still have my old holiday buggy from the early eighties, somewhat trashed, but it was my first non homemade rc car
