Quick (For A) Change! Tamiya Holiday Buggy Trail Run

[@kolekcjoner205-models]

Beautiful surroundings, great shots! Your video is a good example of how having an "ordinary toy" you can create a professional-looking video that keeps the viewer on the screen every second. 💯👏 👍👍👍👍👍

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was really fun to make as well. 😎👍

[@JF-RC]

Hi there, a great showcase of the fabulous Holiday Buggy, you can just see the horse in the back ground saying ‘not me!’ 😂😂 best wishes 😊

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Ah ha ha yeah, they all LOVED it except the one on the end, who really couldn't care less... 🤣

[@ggilesy]

That was a very enjoyable RC vid. Loved it!

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thanks! It was really fun to film as well. 👍

[@Del350K4]

Wow - what a, strong beginning to an RC car video. It's intensely gratifying to see a Holiday Buggy being given enough power to really romp and play in the wilds of Mid-Wales. I love the slightly incongruous sight of a buggy which I associate with sand dunes hurling great clods of earth around as it charges over hill and Dale, all in the shadow of those terrifying giant horses. Their silent, brooding presence adds an air of indefinable menace to the scene. What are they thinking? What do they want? Great cinema...

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

WHAT DO ANY OF THEM WANT?! It's terrifying. I was planning to run this on the beach, and probably still will, though I think I need to wait until dogs aren't allowed (through the summer) to avoid having a 900-strong pack of them chasing it. 👍

[@Del350K4]

@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 Yes - poor little Holiday Buggy; it wouldn't be very much fun for it to be pursued by a giant pack of monstrous slavering hounds!

[@rcplaytime]

Flipping heck 👌 that's how you do an awesome video 👍👍👍😀👌👌👌

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Wow, thanks! 😎👍

[@RcNickster709]

Awesome run once again . A lot faster yes. But still with all that beautiful background. Thumbs up once again

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thanks man! I might try a few more faster ones - some rally stuff would be fun... 😎👍

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

What a beautifully and well done video, with a beautifully and well built car. I loved every second of this video! Epic job 💯🙌🏼⚡️🔥

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Cheers, that's very kind! Much appreciated. 👍

[@davidburke5686]

Awesome, love it, been toying with the idea of building a Tamiya kit instead of scale crawlers maybe the new BBX/BB01 or whatever it’s called

[@DustyFingersRC]

Fantastic video! Great production. 👍🏻

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thanks man!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Love it, Steve! So glad you got one and to hear how much you are enjoying it. As you say, for an entry level buggy it's pretty amazing and handles better than you'd expect (especially after ditching those "fiction" shocks and just looks sooooo cooool to boot! You got some great high-speed captures out there. Nice to see the horses enjoying the spectacle, too! All the best, mate! 😎👏✌👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

One thing you didn't mention about changing - I hope you fitted a steel pinion?!?!?! With all that power the stock cheese pinion is gonna melt!!!! 🤣🤣

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

The horses were desperate to have a go but, you know... hooves. What can you do? But yes, with a bit of pep in the back of this chassis and those impressive shocks it was fantastic fun, and took some (accidental) abuse as well - a couple of off-camera crashes were so big I genuinely cringed, but nothing broke. And it does look cool. Basically it looks like the RCs of my childhood and goes like I wanted them to! 😎👍

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

I had to think about that but yes, I had to get one for the bigger motor shaft and to suit one of the two mounting options. I went for the smaller one - 17t, maybe? So I've used me loaf and avoided the cheese and any pickle that might have got me into, though for some reason now I'm hungry. 🤷

@@rccrawlersmid-wales645 Ploughmans, anybody?

[@hollyhillrc]

Now that's the way to park it ! 😄👍🏼👍🏼

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

That's what I keep telling the police. 🤣

[@andrewharbron5841]

Yeahman! Look at it go / fly / skid. That looks a lot of fun. Maybe Tamiya do know what they're doing, after all.... sometimes....maybe....

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Like all good mysteries, we'll never really know the answer to that.

Hello 🙋‍♂ Greetings from Japan🗾 It's a powerful image It's a powerful buggy great action i will support you 😊🙇👉🔔

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Hello! Thanks very much! 😎👍

[@renercadventures]

Absolutely beautiful video my friend 😹👍😍

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thank you very much! 👍

[@johova33]

Nice video(I've watched it twice now). Reminded me of the old Tamiya vids. This is one of my fav Tamiya's. I bought 2. One for display and the other to bash. I finally managed to find/fit some road tyres to it today and got set to take it out for a test drive and discovered my charger had died on me. Grhhh.

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Oh no! Tech issues can be so annoying. I don't blame you for liking these - they're fantastic for the price, really fun to drive and really characterful as well. I love it. Wish the Sand Rover version was still so readily available...

[@jspeedrc]

Nice sharing

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thanks for watching! 😎

[@AddamsPlayground]

You got some really wonderful shots in there!! That was cool! This is a very cool little buggy and with some fairly inexpensive and easy to do upgrades like you have done it is a really great running buggy! Super entertaining video and thanks for the shout-out in the description! I appreciate it!

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thanks dude, and thanks for the help via your video - those shocks make all the difference! 😎👍

[@rctruckcanuck5495]

nice build...pretty tough run. beautiful area :)

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Cheers! It took everything in its stride - I was really impressed. It's great fun, too.

[@BasBoyRC]

Nice run, we all upgrade them a little and they are a good cheap chassis. I think the power is as much as it needs and nice parking on its side at the end.

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Ha ha, thanks! I didn't want to take up a whole parking space, you know?

[@nhansme]

Awesome video…!!!

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@Pezzapoo]

Yey! HB is an amazing car for the loot

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Right? I'm very impressed. It's taken a lot of extra power and some extra fast crashes totally in its stride, and it's a right laugh as well. 👍

[@bradkalman2353]

Surprise the horses aren't t freaking out.

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

They kind of were... with excitement! They love a bit of RC action (except the one on the end, who's totally over it).

[@cassgilbert6193]

Fantastic footage! I recently built up a Holiday Buggy and love the way it handles. I'd like to add a little pep to it though. Currently, I have a 540 (23t) motor, the Carson ESC that came with the kit, a 3000 NiMh battery, and a 19T steel pinion. It runs really well, but I'd like to give it a pep in speed! Do you happen to have a link for the ebay brushless one you went for? And did you need to change any other parts to make it all work? Thanks in advance! Love the scenery in mid Wales, too!

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

Thanks! These chassis really are surprisingly fun to drive. I'm afraid I don't have a link for the brushless as it came via a friend, but there are loads of cheap ones on ebay - Surpass stuff seems good, in my experience. I didn't change anything else except the shocks (I put the oil-filled upgrade ones on from the start), and if you've already fitted a 540 then a brushless will drop right in. Worth looking into lipo batteries, too - a 2S would be a lot lighter, for a start, and 3S makes things go like crazy...

[@bradkalman2353]

You should see mine running on a 11 degree timing of a 17 turn brushed.

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

😱🤪👍

[@bradkalman2353]

What KV is the brushless system?

[@rccrawlersmid-wales645]

I'm afraid I don't know... I just had this system lying around and put it in to see if it worked! I'll have to look if I ever take it back out.
