De javu again! I landed another original SRB NIB!

In this video I unbox my 2nd Tamiya Ford Ranger NIB kit.

[@d1a9n8i7el]

It was amazing to see in person. Ironically watching RCIcons and Tamiya Legends is one of the reasons I was browsing marketplace in the first place for vintage Tamiya. Great to see it in an Epic collection.

[@idesignyou...9257]

Awesome find Daniel the kits stunning!

[@roloreoandy9867]

Big Brute. Been after one for 30 yrs and always miss out.

[@rcicons4915]

Thanks Daniel.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

It’s amazing that this stuff still exists

[@rcicons4915]

Right!

[@poorboysrc]

That's a great find, Keith. Awesome collection, my man!

[@rcicons4915]

Thanks Fill

[@MadBeeRC]

I love the SRB cars big time! Legends! Great vid Keith 😉👍 Cheers James.

[@noidnomis]

Unreal find, that box is so bright white..😎 I would love to have an original again, I remember opening my first Ford Ranger F150 in Nov of 1981, thanks to my Mom and Dad (RIP) for giving me one of the best b-day gifts they ever got for me.🥲 Going to have to be happy with my faux re-pop that I have the parts for. Only need the glass and decal sheet. The one I will be building will only have the body as was in 1981, the chassis will be an upgraded 2010 as how I think Tamiya should be doing it, with a RCChannel rear suspension and coil over shock kit. Dual shocks on each rear. Nice add you have there, a much as I would like them to release another one, not to sure they ever will, but maybe in 2026 for the 45th anniversary.. ( 😳! )

[@rcicons4915]

The Rc channel suspension is awesome. Hopefully we will see a rere sometime in the future. Great memories btw.

[@Jaysqualityparts]

Nice wow awesomeness. Daniel hooked you up. Beautiful truck.

[@rcicons4915]

He sure did.

[@RCBirds]

Awesome kit. This is so cool. I don't spoil it here in the comments. Great purchase Keith.

[@rcicons4915]

Thanks Dirk

[@AddamsPlayground]

Super cool! I would loose my tiny little mind walking into a deal like he did! Not something that is ever going to happen again I am sure! I agree, Tamiya needs to re-re this one! Have a great weekend Keith!

[@idesignyou...9257]

Stunning Kit buddy, got to love the Ford Ranger looks so smart!

[@68burnout]

Awesome! I agree, Tamiya needs to re-re this.

[@markconnor269]

Absolutely amazing Keith 👏 well done 👍

[@rcicons4915]

Thank you

[@roloreoandy9867]

Great buy Keith. My heart stopped when you mentioned a Big Brute. Been after one for 30 yrs and always miss out.

[@rcicons4915]

I know buddy. As soon as he told me about it I told him I had a buyer and it was already too late.

[@roloreoandy9867]

@@rcicons4915 Thanks for keeping an eye out for one.

[@JF-RC]

Hey Keith, got yourself a beautiful NIB Ford F150 to get stuck into 😊😊enjoy the wonderful truck. Love the original one too, looks a beauty for sure .😊😊 awesome! Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊

[@mattmclafferty6265]

Yes... rere Ranger wd be wonderful! ps. It wd be awsome to hear yr recovery story one day.. Im an addict too.. If yr into sharing it, I know youve mentioned possibley doing a vid one day.. Thanks yet again for yr great channel Keith. Gauranga 🙏🙏🙏💪

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Tamiya just got a new CEO. I’m hoping that he’ll do the rere’s we all want

[@GordoDrummer]

And Kyosho needs to hold off on the Optima re-re's and give us a Big Brute re-re! Had one in the '80s. Fun truck.

[@chriswatson9519]

Definitely and a few of other popular one's need to be rereleased and that built ranger looks awesome

[@reitplace4765]

They definilty need a rere i would get that as a runner. Lauren and I saw a real one for sae its what she wants as her first car. So freaking cool.. Thanks Keith and Yes it is time.. Coffee with Keith complete.. As always thank you for sharing my friend..

[@huubbouten3041]

SRBs are cool.. they were what dreams were made of when I was a kid.. when my older brother got a rough rider for x-mas.. I was soooo jealous..🖖

[@dennisharold8934]

Great looking truck!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Wow you said super champ and pull out a Ranger.. super cool!!!

[@eekrc]

There are so many kits that they should re-release. They nneed to step it up. Now that the president of Tamiya retired maybe we will see some changes... additional re-release kits, maybe some new chassis/designs in the future. It is fun seeing the blue body, i haven't seen one in person. Its on my list of kits to search for... haven't found one i want to purchase yet, most ive found are in poor condition. Fun video Keith!

[@Pablo668]

Nice score Keith. One day I have to finish my Sand Scorcher. Gotta be honest though, the paint job on the Scorcher scares me.

[@prophetate]

Dearest Keith 😊❤️ as you, I am a Ford guy and I am so happy for you that you managed to bag another NIB Ford Ranger XLT ❤️ I remember nagging you in the beginning to build it and you did. ❤️❤️

[@rivierarc]

Right place and time for Daniel and ultimately you on marketplace thats for sure. I just managed a good one for me too which I am collecting on a couple weeks. Sometimes these gems appear and you have to be quick before they are snapped up

[@lo2713]

I agree aswell, rere it as i love the look of this, but i have a habit of throwing cars around tracks, so a rere will do 😁

[@willi19671]

Body, probably even better than the Toyota Hilux 1981

[@EMPTYPOCKETSRC]

Super deal. I am thinking of trying the Blackfoot body on my Sandscorcher re re. Can't wait to see how you do it!

[@All_RC_Fun]

Love it. Awesome to see this.

[@alastairmulholland2581]

Fantastic kit,love the look of this truck as i had the blackfoot back in 87.When will you be building the blackfoot kit as it was my second kit i built in 87.

[@rcicons4915]

That won’t get built until the new studio is done. It was my first and a built that will be cherished. I appreciate your excitement though.

[@kashmurray1199]

Nice,nice.

[@bradkalman2353]

Hope those details don't fail you.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Super champ is my all time favorite Tamiya buggy .. someday ill get one.. I’d do it unlike the real car it’s based on from the 78-9 mint 400

[@estefanopassatore8150]

To get the re Ranger we must collect the money for the license of Ford logo.

[@TheMoonman1952]

So awesome. I love the srb. I have 11 fully restored. I will send you a video one day. Well done on the NIB. Very cool. Do you have a spare back window piece fir a ranger? It's the only bit I'm missing😢 Cheers bruce

[@jamieedmunds3253]

Hey buddy. 👋 I agree, I really want ah ranger too. I'm ah ford guy. Hey,go to hobby ect. There's ah gift for you there.

[@StevieAEBrew]

Got the other SRBs nib. Just missing a Ranger 😢

[@bradkalman2353]

Yes it should be made again.

[@coryn1980]

Get videos loving it 👍 quick question have you got any tamiya madcap parts need a front and rear bumper please thank you keep up the good work take care

[@douggilreath1984]

I have a 1.5 to restore, trying to find stickers. That’s all that’s holding it up. Might never find them and have to go with MCI, which are good, but not original.

[@martinhsrc6699]

100% Tamiya should rere the Ranger

[@tm5123]

I think tamiyas issue is licensing, and not sure if they re-re the ranger as a non-ford, like the re-re blackfoot, how people would like it, sadly. :/ But thats one glorious find nonetheless :D

[@rocpile]

I wonder if the adhesive on the original decal set survived?

[@jason.bochniak]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@bradkalman2353]

Yes it should be made again.
