This will be my second expensive Rc after EVO, thanks for the video!

[@FullOnRC]

Awesome my friend.

[@tofathi195]

@@FullOnRC So far i only have the plasma edge but i have a nice feeling about these two, although all my friends consider them out of date.

[@FullOnRC]

@@tofathi195 Many Tamiya are out of date inregards to modern Rc's, but to me that is what makes them interesting. I would rather have classic car, I.e real car over a Telsa anyday. :)

[@FullOnRC]

awesome paul nice video

[@FullOnRC]

Thanks @MCRC. It was a long one, but there is a lot to do in this kit. Thanks for stopping by pal.

[@craigroberts8105]

That is 1top quality looking kit with all that metal parts very nice great job Paul 👌👍👍

[@FullOnRC]

Thanks @craig roberts. It certainly is next level stuff. Thanks for tuning in.

[@MrMelton77]

It's a great build Paul. You can upgrade to ball diffs via the torque splitter set but it's quite expensive though. Recommend the use of JIS screwdrivers if you don't currently use them. They are slightly different to Philips and I've had the issue previously of rounding of the screw heads.

[@FullOnRC]

Thanks for the tip, yerhh I was looking at them and other upgrades. Cheers for tuning in @MeMelton77

[@vincehaysom5025]

Having had one of these when they first came out I recall they were very heavy due to all the rose joints and other metal parts so no good for racing, but what a beautiful model :-)

[@FullOnRC]

Yep that is a fact, and it's pretty hard to fit any kind of decent motor too. It is also very frail. It's a shame.

[@vincehaysom5025]

@@FullOnRC but with those good looks it did not matter :-)

[@FullOnRC]

@@vincehaysom5025 Very true. I think The Optima is another stunning looking RC. Would love one at some point.

[@meandmyprogress]

Aww man...Roll on tomorrow when mine arrives (i still blame you!! 🤣🤣) Although i think it'll be a month or two until i build mine

[@FullOnRC]

LOL @Glenn Bowden. Do you own a Egress, if you do post some pics and I can return the favour. 😀

[@meandmyprogress]

@@FullOnRC not yet... give me chance 🤣... only just got the Avante.. will habe to wait for the Egress.... I do need that to be added to the 'build list' though.... i really need to find time to start some videos i think.

[@FullOnRC]

@@meandmyprogress Cool i'll droip you a sub now so I don't miss it. What RC's do you currently own?

[@meandmyprogress]

@@FullOnRC excellent.. much appreicated... Still selling off a LOT of my old N gauge railway stuff to fund the RC Since getting back in to the RC side of things I have an FTX Outback 2, Tamiya CC01 Chassis with a Lada Niva body on..... a Subaru Brat NIB kit, a CC02 ready for a Lada Niva body to be fitted .. Also a few different WPL kits (4x4 and 6x6) The Tamiya Hornet is partly built and a Subaru Brat is sat....waiting....... Then there is the Avante 2011..... YOUR FAULT 🤣🤣🤣🤣... That arrives tomorrow.... 😁😁

[@FullOnRC]

@@meandmyprogress good stuff. My Dad was into trains when I was a kid. Grew up around models and creative people. So happy to return to my roots with Tamiya. Although I did enjoy the large scale, but my pocket didn't.

[@robertlongley9153]

Watched the whole video. Is the kit fully bearing. And they have a upgraded steering kit did you think of trying that. But other wise was enjoying it fully and it came out great.

[@FullOnRC]

Cheers @Robert Longley. The kit is fully ball raced apart from the steering. I did look into the upgrade kit and the only place I can get it seems to be Tamico or something and you have to spend something like 4160 dollor before they ship to the UK. I have found some og the Egress parts on Ebay so if I do it I may have to buy all parts seperate. Thanks for watching Bud.

[@dgdroning3342]

Before you stick it up on a shelf to admire can you do a video of it doing what it’s meant to do just don’t roll it 😫… and I did have a giggle at all the Loctite everywhere including your thumb 🤣🤣 keep up the videos 👍🏻

[@FullOnRC]

LOL yerhh the glue was a bit messy. W£ill deffo run it at some point, just have a few builds to get through first. Cheers for tuning in @DR DRONING
