E316: Let’s Drive It! Tamiya MB01 Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR First Tarmac Fun (paid promotion)

[@JoevsRc]

Really like the way colors stand out on this kit

[@stevegolds2551]

Looks really good Andy 👍 nice job.. the boomerang is definitely more my cup of tea though and that looks 🤩

[@barrycheesemore2928]

That little Fiat looks superb, and it's pretty nippy with that motor you've used! As you said, oil-filled dampers would definitely help with the handling, and I think if you're running it FWD maybe swap those smaller front tyres for 'normal' sized ones. Oh, and that Boomerang looks awesome!!!

[@waynemattera8552]

Great color combo!

[@topforce5298]

Looks great in red! 👍

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Wow Andy! this is super cool! such a sharp looking little rig! really sweet kit. this really has the moves with that tight turning radius! yes it pogo's a bit, but not bad still! smoooth it seems. I really like this! Well done Brother!

[@sayaka8587]

Like you have painted the Abarth red, great colour choice. Yes oil shocks are a definite needed upgrade. Love the channel and your content 😊

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thank you, I thought the Red would be a little different. Hopefully oil shocks coming soon, will have to see though. Thanks for your support and watching the video

[@paulrobinson9355]

Can’t wait for the Boomerang video! Booth look awesome- you definitely need to smoke the Abarth windows 👌👌👍👍

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Yeah , either smoke them or some sort of driver cockpit would be good for it. Boomerang video coming next I think , sorting the electrics today ;) cheers mate

[@madsrcbuggy]

Ah, yes, that Boomerang looks cool! Your colour scheme makes it much more evident, the Hotshot heritage, very nice! And a nice little road racer, this one, looks lovely in red! I was lucky enough to have a Fiat Abarth rental car a few years back, it was the newer version, but still quite a fun experience, very weird to drive and of course not the best for luggage on a small holiday, ha ha...

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Hi Mads, hope your well. Glad you like the Boomerang, I’ve put different wheels on Now and I think it looks better. I think the mica red has turned out pretty well , it’s a cool little thing. Oddly I’ve never been in any Fiat 500/600 but they don’t luck very big

[@je2916]

It's a Great looking car. Good color, and it drives well!

[@PeteWylieRC]

Really nice looking car Andy and good choice of colour. Oil shocks would be good as others have said but otherwise it looks like fun 😁👍

[@n22pdf]

Looks great Andy wow nice job wow it’s quick 😊 well done dude 😊😊 Pete

[@grrfy]

Looks really sharp that.

[@shaunescarlett.1]

Great Review Andy 👌🏼

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool rc and nice run

[@lo2713]

Love the colour you went with, if we can a class like this at are club iwould deffo get one 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Both look great Andy! The MB01 runs around pretty well but I agree the pogo shocks are not helping it out a lot! It does look pretty planted running around though so it looks like it would be a fun little one on a small track. Obviously not with that body on it as motor parts and deck lids would be littering the track! LOL! I am hoping for a classic Mini release of it and I will get one!

[@DustyFingersRC]

Descent, this did catch my eye when I heard of this release. The chassis is cool having the options. Great overview 👍🏻

[@rc-dom-uk]

two gorgeous looking cars . can u raise the ride height at all on the mb chassis ? i was thinking of a rally build . thanks andy 👍😊👍

[@zacharydalton412]

The Boomerang looks 👌. The Mica red was a great choice. The car definitely needs oil shocks. The engine looks good, would have been working on that for hours myself, I wonder if they have 3D printed parts to go crazy with. Great video, can't wait to see the Boomerang run. 😁

[@andysmith4394]

Very nice

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thanks

[@broggsey]

Doesn’t look to bad? Looks awesome mate

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Thank you , very good of you to say so. I’m my own worst critic ;)

[@ironj100]

Such

[@ironj100]

Suck a great lookin Rc. Kits always intimidate me. They look hard to build

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Tamiya kits are usually pretty simple to build and have good instructions, plus there’s lots of help on the forums if you get stuck

[@mikeymike3240]

I’m sorry to say you spoiled me body with that red, it really ruined me look 👀 of the beautiful body Imho 😊

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Cheers for your honesty Mikey , no worries we can’t all like the same things I guess, cheers mate
