The Tamiya-est Tamiya of them all? - Dancing Rider T3-01

[@pocketfuloducks1062]

So many things here: Beautiful Merc Very cool kit, I’m excited for more A What paint job? Larry? Sorry, that one doesn’t cross the pond well No Tamiya plug on an excessively Tamiya kit? Bit of a shame Huge arial for the win!

[@TheRCScotsman]

Responses, one at a time! - Thank you! - It is great. I think it's going to be a complete hoot. - Lairy. Adjective- ostentatiously attractive and/or flashy. - Sorry, but I don't use Tamiya plugs on any of my stuff. None of my charges, leads, nor batteries are Tamiya-lug-compatible. - Huge aerial would be a win. However, it will ruin the self-righting ability. I'll have to think!

Your reaction at 10:00 is epic.

[@TheRCScotsman]

Glad you like it!

Nobody does Tamiya, quite like Tamiya. Your dump truck is one of those by example. On paper, its a Tonka Truck with RC!! But it's sooo much more than that. This Dancing Rider looks like a hoot to drive. Everyone in the hobby should have to build and run a Tamiya at some point!! Like driving an original Mini!! It should be the law!! 🤘🏻

[@TheRCScotsman]

Yeah, the Dump Truck was on my mind, no doubt! It's a VERY Tamiya-Tamiya! However, I'd say that this is an even Tamiya-er-Tamiya! I agree. Every RC enthusiast has to build a Tamiya kit.

[@Droidy77]

That looks just like a turbo racing transmitter, which some people recommend as a cheapie. Their tiny little rc cars are very cool.

[@TheRCScotsman]

It's actually OK. Not bad at all. Fine for a simpler RC.

[@Droidy77]

Make sure you glue the T3-01 dogbones really well because they easily strip out the plastic bit. Plenty of room for the esc (TBLE-02S fits fine) but the receiver can be a bit awkward (I taped onto the side of the esc).

[@TheRCScotsman]

Thank you for the advice! I had already done that part, but stripped it back down, to add the glue. I can already tell there wasn't a lot of strength, there. Appreciate it. Got the ESC to fit, fine!

Some say, we were brainwashed as children by the Tamiya videos playing on a loop in beatties, and we will still be buying Clodbuster's in 20 years time.!!? All we know is that it's called Tamiya.

[@TheRCScotsman]

Awwww... BEATTIES!! 😭

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Top Speed Challenge time? I've been juggling this or the BBX, looks like my mind has been made up (towards goofiness) lol

[@TheRCScotsman]

That sounds fun! Although, I'd have to buy a GPS speed meter. Oh, the BBX is lovely! Can't go wrong with that! Although, I've chosen what I've chosen, so I guess that settles what I prefer!

[@aviano72]

Thats a nice 1:1 car !! Check out Matteo's video about this Dancing Rider Tomley is ok, bu he promotes way too much cheap Chinese shit :( That unboxing of the transmitter was funny 😂😂

[@TheRCScotsman]

Thank you! Oh, I will. I do like Matteo's videos. He does very good work. I like Tomley, but I agree. I'm not massively keen on Chinesium. Glad you enjoyed it!
