Tamiya Terra Scorcher 2020 Re Release & Vintage Comparison Video - Kit 47442 - 1/10 RC Buggy

[@Superutubeking]

I am loving that Thunder Dragon on the wall I had one in the 80s looks awesome 👏

[@paulgarwood192]

Thanks for showing the recommended upgrades and parts that help eliminate the kit faults. I’ve watched other build uploads and they spoke about the build and doing the upgrades as well but you gave up the part numbers and manufacturers. The kit during the build stages and finished, apart from paint work, looks better than imagined. Keep up the great work Adam!👍🤓🇦🇺

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊

[@Superutubeking]

Wow fantastic I love this car

[@Finder1175]

Regarding the wing slogan, I've seen a tamiya guide book picture with "flying high!" stickered on the wing.Tamiya base has the picture.The new motor mount also doesn't make use of the pinion spacer anymore,perhaps to allow steel pinions or non tamiya brand pinions to be lined up to the spur gear by distance now instead.One last thing I noticed was the thrust races used in the original have now been substituted for a plastic bush and a washer,I had the original issue when I was young and have purchased this re-re and I am at a loss as to why they changed the thrust race,I ordered 2 x 5x11x4.5 Thrust Bearing from RCBearings to build the bevel gear to prop shaft connections like the original.I would imagine new faster motors or brushless set ups would create a problem with the plastic bushing and washer pretty quickly as the thrust races were there to ensure smooth rotation of the bevel gears under load.hope this info helps and good work on your fine collection :)

A big thanks for doing a comparison between the vintage and re release Terra Scorcher, really enjoyed it.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊, Hopefully you are Enjoying the Channel 😎

[@theoagrc]

Great video explaining the differences. I have one coming in the future and can’t wait 👍🏻

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thanks for Watching. They are a Great Kit

[@stumpycatvm7115]

thanks for the close up specifics on, parts of concern- Would like to get upgraded shocks, just for looks, I have found that the rear are 95mm and fronts are 70mm

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

So far I think the Stock Shocks are nice. Although a set of Hi Caps would be very nice

[@stumpycatvm7115]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA yea, keeping it stock like Tamiya Legends does, is sort of growing on me, so it's not a big issue, was a great rescue of that original on his channel, was good stuff.

Awesome nice to be able to get parts from the re release to fix the vintage 😀👍🏻💯🤘🏻

[@RCKickschannel]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you 😊

[@mrdoofa9357]

The blue suspension arm parts are the same as used in the super clodbuster so getting the appropriate parts tree for that kit is another way of getting those parts.

Another great video - keep up the good work! I was fortunate to pick up one yesterday. It seems those A5 reinforcement braces are in short supply right now.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Yes I noticed afew Months back All of the Terra Upgrades we’re slowly being Sold out! Yes lucky you got a Kit. Are you in Aus?

[@Chris-sd6os]

Yes I’m in Melbourne

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Cool 😎 I have another Kit coming from Metro Hobbies.

[@brucebenner7606]

great video should be more of these videos out there i was hoping u went through every little thing body chassis screws nuts tires the lot are shocks rims are they all the same? i found a few different things on the frog hornet grasshopper 2 and grasshopper the grasshopper 2 right the chassis its got grasshopper 2 in txt on the chassis but the rere dont i'm not sure if they done the same as the super hornet or not didn't look thanks again

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Hi, I have built a re re Thunder Shot & Thunder Dragon ( sand Chassis as Re are Terra Scorcher) and I can tell you they are identical to the original I’m many ways. The markings printed on the parts is pretty identical. The re re has some differences like Saying ABS plastic etc.. it’s one of those things if you have a brand new Built vintage and a re re build side by side it would be extremely hard to pick them apart, main issue is decals and sponsorship changes.

[@brucebenner7606]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA thanks mate great videos u have there um i have a vintage sanwa m11 radio where do u think i could get a module 2.4ghz one from and yes not on crap bay lol i would have about 20 cars i think so else is coming up? videos that is? thanks

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Lots of Other Videos, restoration etc unboxing, I’ll try to get some running videos. I run the Flysky GT3 and program 10 RC’s per controller. I find them great value. I own some expensive Futaba 2.4ghz set ups but I honestly can’t go past the Fly Sky

[@gtitec13]

cool video mate have got link for that a5 brace mate ??? thx jason

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

It was on EBay mate.

[@gtitec13]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA what the part No. mate ???

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

It’s not a Tamiya part. If you Search Tamiya A5 brace you should find it. I purchased them awhile back

[@gtitec13]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA tried that with no luck 0 results

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

I’ll have a quick look and let you know

[@Chris-sd6os]

Thanks for your tips Adam. Picking up the suspension arm set (53301) as recommended but might not install the A5 brace. Would any spacers or washers be required to eliminate slop? Are the rods the correct length?

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

The rods maybe to short depending on which brace you buy. I’m guessing Shims maybe required if some movement is noticed.

[@Beastnappy]

Keep up the top work👍

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊

Superb comparison👍 Do miss the car in motion pics on the front of the build manual. Look forward to your collection vid, will be very interesting👍

Great video. I agree with the packaging not being nice. I never had one of these but I have managed to get a re re.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Nice 😎

[@kostakis22]

I wanted to ask something. Does the new terra scorcher have metal gears like the old one? Thank you very much, happy new year!!!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Metal internal diff gears yes. But all other gears are plastic

[@kostakis22]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA Was it plastic in the old one too? Thanks for your answer

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Yes plastic, with metal internal Diff gears

[@mad-beerc3818]

Interesting vid it's good to see the difference! Tamiya really did do a fantastic job on their kits back in the day! I remember as an over excitable kid the buzz of seeing blister packs lol but not many about in tamiya kits nowadays but once again down to costs but a real shame still though! But nice kit and let's hope tamiya keeps it up! Cheers mate. I will look out for your collection tour vid😁👍

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thank you 😊

[@garrymorris4515]

Hi Adam just letting you know my 2020 Terra Scorcher was delivered today.

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Awesome 😎

[@RCKickschannel]

Interesting to see the box artwork has been changed a little. The heat resistor has been deleted understandably as well as the battery has been changed from the Tamiya to a blanked out blue generic one along with a few decal changes. It's a shame the presentation layout has been removed but I guess that's to make the box smaller and save on shipping and shelf space. The manual being just black and white was to save money on printing costs I guess. All these little money saving changes makes me think Tamiya is trying to increase its profits to cover the predicted unit sales of this rere kit or low its risk if it doesn't sell. That said the price of the kit is competitive so it could be Tamiya want to try and keep the kit low to improve its chances of selling. Now most people who collect Tamiya cars like this I feel would pay a little more for the kit if it was made to be a little special. This is the Kyosho business model for its Turbo Optima and I feel that worked really well. What do you all think?

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Yes I totally agree Gavin. I’m sure Tamiya know there market and target group and have made the appropriate changes to keep costs low and volumes high for Hobbyists.

[@schuttrostig5729]

The body in the original has a cutout for the resistor, but is it also slightly diffrent shaped and what is the diffrence? Are the CVAs also diffrent or do you only need to assemble the rere ones? I think they are completly diffrent, but can you show? Which diffrences in the manual, specially the radio mount part always changes from original to rere and for the people that want to "backdate" their rere the original mounting of the msc page is pretty intresting. Are the parts all there or do some parts miss? Is it possible to mount a msc on the rere? Did suspension arms change if you hold them side by side? Are the plastic parts the same color, apart from the ones you showed?

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Thanks for Watching 😎 The Body is the same apart from the pre cut resistor section. CVA’s are the same and require building The manual is the same and all the parts for a Vintage retro build are included in the parts trees. The Plastics are the same, the Blue lower arms are slightly darker plastic and I believe they are stronger. The adjustment arms are now turnbuckle , and Tamiya has replaced the blue ends with black for the re re.

[@schuttrostig5729]

@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA Verry good... thank you for the explanation, now i have to buy one of the rere kits. Hopefully they will get available in germany soon.

[@supocarta74]

Still trying to convince my mrs I need One because I've already got a vintage one 😂

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

You Always need more! If anything The re re kit is a cheap Parts box

[@MrBeastbike]

I convinced mine by saying the vintage is worth far too much to smash up, so it’s worth the spend to save the vintage original worth thousands!!!

[@1Stunna2323]

Window masks on the re re?

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

No window masks, vintage didn’t either

[@rcalltypes8230]

Thanks for the comparison, Tamiya did cheap out on packaging. On the other hand, the alloy Motor mount on the RERE is a bonus 👍🏻

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Yes the kit looks great. Just the visual aspects of the kit, and some areas that Tamiya could of improved the design. But that’s Part of the hobby modifying kits. All brands have key Faults.

[@taffer74]

The original mount was pressed steel, the tshot rere was same but alloy, this new one is nice but pointless!

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Yeah it provides no real upgrade

[@homeworkpictureshq]

I went for it and the options you mentioned in your vedio.

Awesome 😎

[@taffer74]

Please tell us why are there two huge black cable ties included???😁

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

No idea! They seem to be adjustable/ multi use ties, you can use to strap to hold the battery better. The original saddle type battery holders were known for bending and dropping the battery out the side.

[@mad-beerc3818]

Yeah good question?
