Tamiya Rally Beetle Buckley RC Tour | MF-01X

[@AddamsPlayground]

Nice tour around!! You have an excellent tour guide and hopefully it does not run into any troubles out taking us along! I love the look of the beetle and it looks perfectly at home tootling down the sidewalks and in the shops!

[@RCsoandso]

It does seem to suit the more urban areas, I think it’s a great size and looks at hope it towns and cities 🤔👍

[@chiefengineer4330]

And D-void were definitely the best band that ever played there, all 5 people said so

[@RCsoandso]

I didn’t go, I think I had work 🤣

[@RFVCXR200R]

I still have yet to take my rally Beetle out yet. I RC vicariously through you guys.

[@RCsoandso]

You will enjoy it running, get it out, it’s a fun drive! 👍

[@chiefengineer4330]

We had many many great nights in the Tivoli, it’s a shame the rock nights stopped and we got old

[@RCsoandso]

A time gone, many many many years ago

[@AdrianPrince-f8l]

Still do rock bands…it’s going at full strength now…

[@All_RC_Fun]

Very nice tour. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@RCsoandso]

It did a nice job on the streets 👍

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I want one of these. So cool.. great video fellas

[@RCsoandso]

Highly recommend this model, the MF01X is fantastic, but I’m a fan of the Rally Beetle version 😂

[@dogsandwich77]

I live Southern California, about 30 miles north of Mexico. Down in Tijuana, VW Beetles ARE taxis!

[@RCsoandso]

In honesty I saw an old advertisement of a VW Beetle in this colour scheme being used as a taxi as inspiration. Are they original Beetles or Mexican remakes as I understand they do make an original shaped one there 🤔👍

[@dogsandwich77]

They produced the original shaped Beetles there until 2003! Its strange to see so many seemingly new (production) Beetles still around. When i was a kid, my dad owned three of them, and so have I. In fact, i still have a '66 Beetle. And of course, I have a Tamiya Rally Beetle coming in the mail!

[@RCsoandso]

Well if you are a Beetle fan you will love this one, it has a great charm To it 👍

[@rocpile]

The model looks exceptional. Great location indeed, thank you for the video.

[@RCsoandso]

It did bring a dash of colour to the town, it was fun to make 👍

[@shelly6482]

Our towns look dead now like the end of an era.

[@RCsoandso]

I do think that smaller towns have suffered with lack of investment. I am sure that these types of places will prosper again. I think Buckley went down hill since the Spar took over and stopped doing Corned Beef Pasties 😂🥐

[@BURP39R]

Struggling here. I can't think if this depressing music is a rip of Bergerac or Shoestring. I'm delighted how unhappy I am. Sorry if I'm getting sidetracked by misery. I'm not much happier.. In being unhappy 👍

[@RCsoandso]

Bergerac Top Trumps Midsummer Murders any day of the week. I love the grimness of the early 80s, even when set on sub tropical Jersey! I think my all time favorite is Minder (the Terry McCann years) there is something so bleak about Great Britain around this time that I revel in!

[@BURP39R]

@@RCsoandso you know where you are with miserable telly. Shelley. Hywell Bennett being utterly depressing!

[@RCsoandso]

@@BURP39R That was a fantastic show!

[@BURP39R]

@@RCsoandso I just watched 4 seconds of another RC channel from over here. He was getting that excited I thought maybe he had an insert up his hoop. I had to switch it off. I know you're old enough but not sure your region may have got it. Did you ever see "Get Stuffed?" it was on really late and was a super shit cookery show. It wasn't funny and everyone was trying way too hard. That bloke was like that. Like the tit with the fastest couch. Colin thingy. Needs his hard drive checking.

[@RCsoandso]

@@BURP39R some people are weirdly excitable, I do on occasion wonder who is normal when they react this way, as I do not seem to ever get giddy! I do remember Get Stuffed, when I used to stay up and watch WCW I would have to get through that Vietnam drama before the Wrestling, then after they would show Get Stuffed, where they would go to a Happy Shopper to buy Fish Fingers and a Pot Noodle, and try ever so hard to prove, maybe to themselves, that they were a crazy student, living in filth 😂

[@RCBirds]

Great running video. I learned a lot from your intro. Have a great weekend guys and fingers crossed for more subs. Like your license plate

[@RCsoandso]

I’m glad you like it, and more subs would be lovely to get, slow and steady though! The license plates I found on eBay, not a bad price either 👍

[@Lanterns_light]

I chuckled at the license plate

[@RCsoandso]

@@Lanterns_light I think it makes the car 🤣😂

[@Lanterns_light]

Buckley’s chance mate

[@RCsoandso]

Now that’s a down under reference if ever I heard one 🤣😂👍

[@EMPTYPOCKETSRC]

The Rally Beetle is lots of fun. Good job guys!

[@RCsoandso]

It hands really well and is quite nippy and agile, ideal for the tours 😂👍

[@bradkalman2353]

They buckled up Buckley.😂

[@RCsoandso]

👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

Interesting tour guys. Did you hang around until the model shop opened? That colour combo you used on your Beetle is similar to one that was used on Sand Scorchers back in the day as an alternative to the blue and white. I ought to drive my MF-01x more often as it's a solid little chassis as you say. Great to get to drive inside the shopping centre at the end. Good stuff 🙂

[@RCsoandso]

Well we didn’t pop in the shop as the opening hours were much later, but fun fact, the day this video came out…it moved 🤦‍♂️ I have seen the sand scorcher in similar colours, I’m half tempted to paint mine box art though next time. Driving through the indoor shopping centre was fun and seemed to entertain the staff in Iceland 🤣😂👍

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Nice run guys, soundtrack worked well to. Love the paint job! If we done anything like that out this way, I'm pretty sure we would have the 'thugs in uniform' on our case in no time!! 👮 😂 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@RCsoandso]

Glad you enjoyed, I find it’s best to get out early while they are still snaffeling their breakfast 🚓🍩😂👍
