Wow!
Looks awesome - if I could afford to get one I'd love to race one of those badboys.

Jimmy only wakes up when a 80's Tamiya is re-released...

So who's gonna be brave and add lipo and brushless to this thing? I'm quite tempted to pick one up as a shelf-queen, always wanted one as a kid but common sense prevailed and I got a Mid instead

What's the rrp?

Maybe they will make the rose joints better this time or an aftermarket company will make upgrades?

Without a slipper clutch it may be worth just running it on loose surface like a beach in the original video

Does still to this day look sweet as (imo)
