[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your nice comment! 👍

[@dwarfyh32]

That is a good looking buggy

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 😊👍

[@Nordmann61]

A stunningly well shot and edited action video as always from you Matteo, which present the feisty Novafox in its element masterfully. The Novafox proves one do not need 4WD to have fun going offroad, Tamiya have equipped the Novafox with exellent independent suspension with long wheel travel front and rear, and good balance, so it flies and land on its wheels in every jump. Shows that a simple and rugged buggy construction and design can have exellent terrain capacities, without being expensive. Todays high capacity batteries revive this 85' classic, and bring it up to date. Cheers.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked this video too! And I agree, the Fox / Novafox is truly a well engineered rc buggy!

[@theoagrc]

Great video! Love the look of this Tamiya and your video is awesome

[@Matteomeier]

Schön wärs! Trotzdem vielen Dank! So schöne Kommentare müssen Lohn genug sein! 👍😊

[@-Dash-]

I always thought The Fox was one of the best looking Tamiya. When I was a kid it it was between The Fox and The Wild One, I never had either of them but they were the ones I wanted most.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your nice feedback! Yes, both of them are gorgeous!

[@2stroke4me]

Excelent video as always! I really enjoyed it :-D

Awesome bashing , excellent video .

[@Del350K4]

That incredible shot, beginning @ 3:2I, where we´re hugging the side of the buggy as it carries out an effortless, apparently endless drift; those wonderful jumps, in which we fly alongside the car throughout its heroic leap...no-one but Matteo gives us such exquisite footage : )

[@Matteomeier]

Merci! 😊

[@Matteomeier]

Always the best comments from Del! Thanks so much! 👍😊

[@Del350K4]

You keep making great videos and I´ll keep watching and enjoying them while learning how to do it better myself : )

[@paulblack3608]

I was obsessed with this car in the eighties. Great looking scale dune buggy. Monoshock in the front along with being way too light up front allows for it to have the front wheels off the ground most of the time. Not ideal but heck it's all kinds of fun so who cares. Tamiya cars are so much boxed joy. Everyone into rc should have one in their collection. Beautifully shot video. Cheers.

[@jeffreyshaw3512]

I remedied the front shock problem by putting in a thinner gauge spring. Made a big difference

[@gilbertsanchez2568]

this is so cool, seriously i dodged a few times because i thought i was gonna get hit by sand and rocks, nice video bud

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Gilbert. Hope no injuries on your head!

Good stuff! Such a stable car. I have two originals. Both in need of some minor maintenance.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Ohh, cool to have originals! 👍

[@Pablo668]

Cool vid!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks!

[@randomrodent9124]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I sold my Fox back in 1989. I regret that, because the car was just awesome to run with Technigold @ max gear ratio.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your good feedback! 😊

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much for your splendid comment and sub! I really appreciate it! 😊

[@jongeddes09]

Awesome video! I've been taking a look at different buggies to get my daughter into RC. She's still very young (2 years old) but I want to get one ready for her when she's old enough to figure it out. I'm leaning toward a Hornet with an 80T crawler motor in it at first to keep it from getting away from her.

[@Matteomeier]

That's so cute Jon! Never to early to start with RC! Thanks for your nice feedback!

[@jdpasl]

Fox is awesome old school buggy!

[@Matteomeier]

Yes indeed! Thanks! 😊

[@youfixitatvutv]

Matteo, I'd love to see you do a video with the Tamiya Falcon! That was my baby!

[@Tamor70]

Thanks ! Some real buggy action video! And it seems the Fox has some great flight quality ! must be of the position of the Motor... anyway, great to watch :-) ! best regards

Another really nice vid Matteo. :D I will get a Fox one day although I really don't like the whole "nova" thing so I just bought a repro Fox decal set for when I buy one. I have an original NIB Fox but I don't want to build it.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Wow, a NIB original Fox! It is very precious! 👍

I think that Novafox with BZ motor and a 4200 lipo battery is very very fast !

[@Matteomeier]

Yes! 👍👍😊

[@RobertNES816]

I had the "pleasure" of working on one of these buggies. This unfortunately isn't one of Tamiya's better designs, its a nightmare to work on these buggies.

[@valu7517]

nice car:)

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 😊

[@glennzlotowski8020]

I had one new , front end kept breaking due to single shock . Seems as though all ur videos the wild one and hotshot have superior suspension ( I had both them also and then the rereleases also )

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Glenn! I see, you have a collection too! 👍😊

[@110alpine6]

lovely vidio as always. May I ask will the sand distory the bearings ? Thanks.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! No, sand is not a problem. Water is a problem.

[@stephanez8036]

i really love all the filming angles and proximity ! you are filming all alone ? driving with one hand and filming with the other ?

Thanks you so much! Yes, exactly like this.

[@tadficuscactus]

Great video as always. Where can you buy those dust covers for the motor?

Thanks! The dust cover comes with the motor. Tamiya Super Stock BZ

[@swissscalerfreaks1915]

👍🏻👏🏻

[@Matteomeier]

👍😊

[@adityamody8942]

Which esc did you use with stock supper biz 23 turn. I have that same motor just need a strong esc for it as its got a lot of torque

[@Matteomeier]

I had the standart esc from the kit in it. But it's too weak for the motor. After 10 minutes it needs a break to cooling down. I need a stronger one too.

[@Nlangkirby135]

Question, how did the novafox run with the super stock bz motor? Was it quick enough for your needs?

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, it's very fast. But the stock esc from the kit is too weak for it. You should also upgrade the esc.

[@uncletom1971]

This is so awesome. I wanted to get a big wheeler, but seeing this I realize I need to get myself another buggy. It is buggies I love, they really are most fun. Matteo, which one of all your cars do you find most fun to drive? You have any favourite?

[@Matteomeier]

Yes, buggies are fun to drive. I by myself prefer at the moment some slower things, like scalers and scale crawlers. I like to go on a hike with them. Unfortunately Tmiya offers not so much cars in this category. (At the moment)

[@uncletom1971]

I understand that. Thanks.

[@WuMbLicALZiPPeRs]

Nice video, but could you please do one on the frog!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Yes, Frog is a grat buggy too! Was my first one back in the 80es! 👍😊

[@karlschweizer2554]

great buggy for the price its better than spending 1500 dollars or more one just one but there trail trucks i say super scale you know rc4wd

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! But I love these expensive scale trucks though!

[@1darnright19]

Wow awesome video and awesome car! What camera did you use on roof of the car and how did you mount it?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! It's a GoPro 6, I mount it with adhesive tape on the roof.

[@stephanez8036]

me again Matteo ; we wonder how you filmed so well ; did you use a gimball to have such a steady filming ? thank you for your reply. a good youtube chanel has replies to the commentaries and you're doing very well for 23k subscribers !

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Stephane! I think it's important to stay in touch with my viewers and their questions and I try my best. No, I do not use a gimbal. Only the camera (GoPro) on a stick, hold it down and run beside the car. Gimbals are to heavy for me, the handling it's better without.

[@stephanez8036]

thanks again. here is the thread about your skills : www.reddit.com/r/rccars/comments/7kdswp/this_camera_work_is_incredible/ and merry christmas !

[@Matteomeier]

👍 Thanks! 😃

[@Zerobudget2000]

Can anyone tell me if this kit includes ball bearings?

[@Matteomeier]

The gearbox and rear axle is equipped with ball bearings. The front wheels not. For this you need 4x 1050 ball bearings.

[@keithrx3c]

I finally got around to buying one of these, which blue did you use for the body?

[@Matteomeier]

Thats great! I used Tamiya PS-4 blue

[@keithrx3c]

That's what I was thinking of using, PS-59 looks pretty close too. I'm getting some original style decals from MCI, none of that "nova" crap on my Fox. :P

[@Matteomeier]

Thats even better!

[@ramanjeet1111]

how do u control this thing...............where is the remote control

[@Matteomeier]

In my hand! 👍😊

[@krs7757]

Great video👍 what esc are you running in that fox?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! I running the stock esc from Tamiya. But it’s too weak for the tuning motor (Super Stock BZ) it getting too hot after a while and stops... 😂

[@krs7757]

@@Matteomeier 😂 yeah i thought that motor was bit to much for the standard tamiya esc! Was thinking getting that motor for mine but maybe try the gt tuned motor!👍

[@jackdr1759]

all Your videos are Great to begin with, but this one seems way more enjoyable... Don't get me wrong all your videos are GREAT but i think it is because this video has a lot of jumps in it. Please could you do more jumps in future videos?

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your good feedback! I'm looking for good jumps in future videos! 👍
