Custom Tamiya Fast Attack Vehicle

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hey top work Damian. Love your video style with all the little bits and bobs going on. Must have taken an age. Anyway love the FAV that you have created. So many great little details you've added. Thanks for the mention. Hope that battery fits. It should do. Oh yeah I did that thing with the drivers arm but I think I put glue on at as well so I don't think it can move to get to that screw. Hope this runs as well as it looks. So long as the shocks and springs are working well it should be good. Take it easy mate 😁👍👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks Pete, I will drop you a line soon but for now, appreciate you watching. Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@MarkBryanRC]

What a cracking video, Damian! Loved the way you showed all those other design ideas at the beginning and then the thinking behind your own creation, it was certainly an evolutionary process! The finished buggy is a thing of beauty and something I'd be very proud of. Top work mate and a very well put together video. Cheers! 🍻😎👊👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks for that feedback, it took me ages deciding what to do. Going off piste challenges me so I thought I should tell the story. It might resonate with someone else who takes time making decisions too. I am still finalising my battery l placement 😂

[@HaydadRC]

What a great build Damian, it looks amazing and your presentation outstanding!👍😊

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thank you, I appreciate it. I need to make an easier video next. Something quicker to do. Got an interesting box of stuff passed to me over the fence from a neighbour....

[@t-studioworks]

Beautiful FAV! Great video with lots of great tips for custom builds. Just AWESOME! You are the man. 💪👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thank you, there is a lot to be inspired by when you start looking looking including your good self. All the best 👊🏻

[@Toystheyrenot]

Awesome work! That’s a beautiful custom FAV.👍😎🔥

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thank you! Cheers! 🙏🏼

[@NoNoRc]

Good one mate. Really liked how you mixed and matched a bunch of parts off other kits 👌. Etching primer, your color choice then 4 coats of clear enamel I’ve found gives you the best protection and adhesion on plastic roll cages. Lightly prep the surface with scotch bright, then warm the plastic with a hair dryer before applying etching primer and your color.

[@DustyFingersRC]

That's great, thanks for sharing your experience using etching primer 👍🏻 much appreciated. Glad you liked how the buggy turned out too 😀

[@FastFreddyRC]

Great video! Love all the details and really like your weight idea for the front. Love the FAV!

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks. Will see how 30g is but can always add a bit more. Can't see it needing more than 40g but we will see. Definitely made the front suspension better on a drop test.

[@theoagrc]

Brilliant work on this Damien. It is always great to see a custom RC and you have really gone to town on this one. The Wild One is always creeping into my basket but I have not yet pulled the trigger.... perhaps you have inspired me to reconsider! Thanks pal

[@DustyFingersRC]

It is such a cool looking buggy and seeing how people customise theirs gives so many ideas. I might add some more bits to it but yeah, it is a looker but it also has a lot of nostalgia for me. Hope you get the chance to get one 👍🏻

[@theoagrc]

@ ordered and shipped! Thanks for the encouragement to spend money pal 🤣😂

[@DustyFingersRC]

@theoagrc Merry Christmas 🎄 😆

[@dazofthemoo1531]

Well..., what can i say but brilliant.!! Ive been a huge fan and active user of ARRMA EXB's & Speed Runners for a number of years now. But just very recently i have developed an extreme desire to collect Tamiya 1/10 scale vehicles. I just love the more realistic speed to scale and the looks. They all look fantastic. I watched quite a few videos on Tamiya RC's now. This video.., this video inspired and got me more excited than any other. I have a list of ten Tamiya's i will get. With the top five being done in a particular order. But...., after watching this, i think i will add the FAV as a main project being done on the side. Where i can show off some skill as a scale modeller. I loved this vid mate. You really put in the effort dont you. I appreciate the amount of work that went into producing this. So thankyou. An easy choice to 👍&🔔

[@DustyFingersRC]

Great comment. I really like the FAV and WildOne and I will add more to this and perhaps do another one too after being so inspired by everyone who has really made theirs look so incredible. There is a FB group dedicated to this buggy and I would love to see how yours ends up. Or find me on Facebook and send me an image, or even Instagram. You can tag me.

[@dazofthemoo1531]

@DustyFingersRC Sounds great. Not on FB currently. But I'll start another page. Looking forward to the future. Haha, its all about decisions now. What to do with this FAV? There are so many options. Great stuff. 😁

[@madsrcbuggy]

This was great, Damian, I ended up watching the video twice and I picked up more details along the way. I watched it yesterday on the TV and came back to comment this morning. Yeah, it's a cool buggy, and as you said, it works well as a sand racer buggy. All your colour coordination is great, it looks awesome! I have an FAV project coming at some point, I am pretty sure I'll come vack to this video again for some inspiration and tricks!

[@DustyFingersRC]

Fantastic, I appreciate it. I watch more YT on TV these days too. Glad you liked it and found it useful. I will look forward to seeing your creation. I want to build another one already 😂

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Very nice Damian, cracking build liking the monochromatic vibe to this build and the BHWO roll cage definitely looks better than the black one you tried first. Very nice work my friend

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks Andy, I felt it definitely made a difference swapping that roll cage so glad you agree. I hope to run it soon, just need a break from my job, been crazy. Thanks again.

[@RCBirds]

Awesome explanations and tips Damian

[@DustyFingersRC]

Appreciate it! Thank you. 👍🏻

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Great video, tons of editing! Great voiceover, too. Tamiya is a foreign world to me, but if I ever dive in I know where to head for some info.

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks, well I watch you trying to learn about mini crawlers. Got 2 now but years behind what is going on these days.

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Looking awesome matey loving that muted colour scheme looks much more scale I think! Looking forward to the running video my friend! 🙂👌

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks mate, appreciated 👍🏼

[@madmustangrc214]

Awesome build. I have wanted to build a more realistic scale buggy but haven't gotten around to it yet. You have done some great work there.

[@DustyFingersRC]

I appreciate you watching and leaving a great comment. Glad you liked it and I hope you manage to get the time to start one yourself.

[@poorboysrc]

Great video, my man! You've given me more than enough inspiration for my FAV build! (If it ever arrives!) :)

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thank you. Personal favourite of mine and in the little time I get these days it was nice to see it completed. 👍🏻

[@martinschulz4289]

1:11 is my one 😀

[@DustyFingersRC]

Love it 👊🏻

[@shuster1921]

Great delivery, couldn't stop watching and I'm not even a Tamiya fan?! 🤘Subbed🤘

[@DustyFingersRC]

Well that's great feedback and great to hear, thank you. What are you into if you don't mind me asking?

[@MauzyrockRC]

Great build! Awesome video! TQuaLITY!

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks man 👊🏻

[@brycephiilips2716]

Another great video, as always. This buggy came out a thing of beauty.

[@DustyFingersRC]

Thanks mate. Going to add some more bits I think. Maybe window mesh and a couple props. Looking forward to driving it 👍🏻

[@musicnature007]

สุดยอดเป็นรถที่เจ๋งมาก 👍👍👍

[@DustyFingersRC]

Always appreciate you 🙏🏼

[@theadventuresoflario]

Superb.....

[@DustyFingersRC]

👊🏻

[@shayryan3284]

Best tamiya videos online, you take all the information we all spend hours searching in the forums and groups and put them in one handy video ! Plus you add your own creative input and knowledge , what’s not to love !

[@DustyFingersRC]

That is the first time anyone has explained my intention which is exactly what I aim to do. I am like all of you, looking around and researching and once I get it together for a build I do my best to share the findings. Thank you for that comment, it means a lot. 👍🏻

[@shayryan3284]

Appreciate you’re dedication! Your videos were of massive help during my LB & WR-01 builds. All the very best to you and the channel !

[@DustyFingersRC]

@shayryan3284 Glad to be able to share what I learnt. I was looking at the WR-01 yesterday and thinking I need to take that out soon. Thanks again.
