Think it might be a fun car to drive at a vintage race level.
Nothing for "serious" competition though. To fragile, no slipper etc.

But it is one of the most beautiful buggys ever imo.

Have to agree with Fredrik, one the most beautiful cars ever made from Tamiya but nothing for serious todays offroad tracks. Surely not suitable for "hot" brushless motors and although they stiffended the car on some weak points i am sure it will NOT be bulletproof like for example a TRF511.
