Two New Arrivals! Tamiya BBX and a 2nd Tamiya Boomerang???

[@CubanDes]

Think the BBX would look cool box art with Rothmans livery decals.

[@catscan64]

After watching this video I went on eBay, in the US, and found a guy that had the Bigwig wheels and the blue parts tree with front shock mounts. The wheels were about $19 US. Glenn, if you want a set I can get another set and ship them to you. I also picked up a Winger body a d wing. Thanks Glenn for the Winger idea.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

love the scale looks of the BBX

[@Con-Brio]

Love that Technigold T-shirt... Have you seen RCKicks video for a re-re Porsche 959 for Tamiya`s 50th anniversary? I think that is really the only Tamiya left that I still want. Maybe if you and all the other KZbinrs did it too...

[@owenbuttle3304]

Superb Buggies Glenn! Looking forward to seeing which you go with the Boomerang 👍.

[@n22pdf]

Look forward to seeing the BBX build and the Boomerang, idea for the shocks is great on the Boomer should look awesome 😊 Pete

[@MadBeeRC]

Tyre lettering is must on them both!!!! Haha you know Glenn! Lovely buggies! One a past classic and one a modern classic! The Boomerang is interesting definitely preferred the BigWig towers over the silver! I would love to see the Winger with the Boomerang decals and obviously the twin front shocks and super shot wheels/tyres it would be like the Super Boomerang! That would look amazing!

[@paullinnett4620]

Winger in boomerang box art might look cool with either blue star or vanquish wheels may look cool

[@markconnor269]

Looking forward to seeing the build video's mate 👍

[@damienmctasney4679]

Yes Glenn loving the winger idea buddy.....gotta say I loved your white body winger all them years ago, it was absolutely gorgeous. I would love to see a nod to that stunning car Glenn....maybe same body with your ideas for the shock mounts and shocks.....would look lovely with some white Vqs wheels buddy. Can't wait to see this project get underway Glenn. Take care and happy RCing

[@martingordon22]

Thanks for the mention, Glen 😊. My BBx has stalled a little as the painting season has finished here in the UK, but I'll pick it up again soon. I do have a Winger shell looking for a home though....🤔

[@peterchan8150]

Absolutely chuffed at the shoutout Re: my Grasshopper BB01! Great video as usual! :)

[@wadebeaumont7570]

I really liked the look of your white winger body with the bigwig wheels. I’d be going down that path again.

[@Pablo668]

Very cool Glenn. I've nearly finished my BBX. There are a few fiddly bits with the build. Some Tamiya mode;s are like that.

[@idesignyou...9257]

Loving the two news kits Glenn especially the new BBX! 😍

[@AddamsPlayground]

I am sure whichever way you end up going it will turn out looking great!

[@peterhootonrc1498]

Hi Glenn I had to pre order one of these when I first saw it as well and like you thought of mounting a wing. Still yet to build mine, time is short but the kit sits on top of my wardrobe and I get it down regularly just to look at it. I’m still just a kid at heart!! Lol anyway looking forward to seeing the build. Best wishes and take care

[@madsrcbuggy]

What a cool couple buggies, and a nice ramble, it's been a while since I watched one of your videos... I had never heard of that Winger before, it looks really nice! For the BBX, that Grashopper tribute is awesome. The best one I have seen so far is Fil's (Poorboys RC), just simple subtle change, painted it khaki instead of blue, very nice! My own plans, well, first of all, I don't have a BBX yet, but I bought RC Team Chonmage stickers recently, so it'll be a black and white, but with those stickers all over... And inspired by Nanni RC, I will paint the cage, but will be neon yellow, it'll be great! Looking forward to seeing more to these two beauties, what you do with yours!

[@rcicons4915]

Awesome kits buddy. Looking forward to the builds

[@Chris78MalibuSilver]

The BBX is a great build and handles amazingly. Enjoy!!!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the boomerang

[@alvarodeelias1727]

Hi!! I painted mine in dark blue metallic with box stickers and looks classy and more modern than the plain blue

[@Geo_art_RC]

I'm looking forward to seeing your take on the Winger. The twin shock front looks class and gives it a real industrial look in my opinion. I would go with a darker body and wheels and chrome graphics to enhance that industrial feel! Whatever you do will be great.

[@rcicons4915]

I also have a bunch of Avante drivers

[@ChrisTeamOnyx]

I want to build a Boomerang and paint it pink like how I use to race 30+ years ago

[@lionelplunkett9428]

G'day Glenn it's that time of the year my birthday has just been it's almost Christmas so I got myself some goodies I just got a Super HotShot and a candy green Grasshopper but originally I was looking at the Boomer but Super HotShot was cheaper than than Boomerang I'll get one one day. I'm going to paint my Aboriginal art earthy colours yellow CVA will look the ducks nuts I recon but I still have to get me a Boomer. Cool video mate 👍👍

[@jamesneylon7335]

Do the white winger, I reckon

[@southcoastskate]

Marui Ninga Winger .....

[@llkooldave6492]

cant remember who did it but the BBX looked very nice in metalic green. might get me one of these because it can be upgraded and the gearbox can take some decent power (with the old school looks). be good to see your build video to make sure im getting it for the right reasons. Nice one glen

[@amc_sounds]

For the Boomerang, a reverse colour scheme would look ace. So blue as the main colour with grey, red and white stripes. For the BBX almost the same reverse concept. So orange main colour, blue and red stripes. Oh, and all metallic too, to really make them pop. But whatever you do I'm sure it'll be ace 👌

[@lo2713]

The BBX is a great build, and drives pretty damn good, i had visions of doing mine in a Rothmans livery 👌 but ended up box art and then had to move it on 😭 i think its going to look the nuts with a good wing set up. And im sure you will pull it off and knock it out the park 👌

[@justinsmagula9579]

Candy green winger or boomerang that would cool

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Hmm, for the BBX I'd be tempted to do an FAV tribute😉 And as for the Boomerang, I used to have one with the Winger body, just did it black from what I remember, and for my money it's one of the best looking bdoyshell's ever made, that flowing look is awesome! I'm sure whatever you decide to do mate, it'll look fantastic👍👍

[@dennisharold8934]

Boomerang in trf blue/white/pink w alloy dampers (I’m a sucker for the trf paint scheme)

[@emc2163]

BBX in Monster Beetle Red with the white, yellow blue stripes and gold rims!

[@supocarta74]

Should have called it the sand serpent 😊 and put it as Optima style...

[@adrianharrison5208]

The winger in white looks awesome 👍 I am not a big fan of wings on Baja themed RC buggies, just because the real thing would not have one and for some reason that's a big no for me. Stupid reason I know but I can't help it 😂

[@rcicons4915]

I believe I have a winger body from tbg or penguin you can have.

[@bradkalman2353]

Box art for both .😁

[@CustomRcGarage]

No shortage of rc

[@brianargo1659]

I would do it white with blue decals

[@zacharydalton412]

I would use Tamiya lame flake then the white for the winger. Cadillac has a color name Dimond white I believe, should look great. For the BBX ,don't forget the slipper clutch 😅. As for color.... maybe 1 of Tamiya's color shift paints 😮.... or get some MCI Mariu decals and do a tribute buggy in matte black... Wish they would put out some of their own RC models again 😪 🙄

[@coygtrc]

Hi, just throwing an idea but maybe hotshot gold wheels on the winger with a dark body ? Have a nice Sunday 🤝

[@liamRC5487]

I done a Rough rider tribute

[@Alan-cg8gx]

BBX as a Wildone or Fast Attack Vehicle my Winger was Blue and White.

[@th45h1zn1t]

Another cracking video. Do you know if the original Tamiya box art is available to buy or download? Would love the Hornet, Boomerang, Frog, Sand Scorcher, Hot Shot, Porsche 959 and the Fox. Thanks for keeping the Tamiya dream alive

[@richiedoran6251]

What about Boomerang winger

[@russellbisset3621]

Go gun metal gray with silver fleck😊

[@fawshaw3361]

Ello maaaaate

[@catscan64]

Didn't know about the Winger body kit. How hard are they to find?

[@TAMIYALegends]

Dead easy my friend (TBG) on eBay do them 😅👊🏻

[@catscan64]

Just got it in the mail. It shipped from Canada to Chicago customs in USA. It was then shipped to Guam then to Honolulu, Hawaii. Finally, it was shipped to Portland, Oregon then to me in Vida, Oregon. This body has some serious miles on it. 😁@@TAMIYALegends

[@alfredyost7972]

Hello glenn, I got a Tamiya BBX kit. I plan on building it early next year with a buddy of mine. I want to build mine box art. I have Tamiya paint PS-4 blue and also PS-3 light blue. I am trying to decide which to use. The PS-4 is box art paint. However, the PS-3 might look good too. Thoughts?

[@Naptime48]

could fill the front shock space with some lights?

[@rcinhand9671]

I should have done a Frog tribute, so it would match my Frog and DT-03.

[@63niceguyeddie]

Glen do you paint the Boomerang wheels white or leave them as provided by Tamiya?

[@asimchaudhry]

hey whens the bbx video landing? i know its going to make me buy one lol

[@fc3sboy1]

Unfortunately due to the blue plastics it is really limited on colors that will work. White , black , blue , gray or gun metal and maybe yellow is about the only colors you can get away with maybe a deep root beer brown also but I don't think any hobby paint companies make metallic root beer paint. So having said that the pink wheels are out. Dish wheels that maybe a costume paint job on them to match the body color with some lettering or what have you. That would be sick

[@trebor1841978]

Suppose you could always dye them black, which is what I did with the arms on both my Thundershot and Terra Scorcher as I didn't like the look of the blue.

[@DIFFLOCKERS]

Hey mate ! Im looking at getting my first Tamiya 1/10 for onroad tarmac racing can you recommend anything ? im looking at the tt-02 chassis gt4 celica cheers man.

[@traxxasfans]

Hi mate are you going to run the bbx ?

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah but not until next summer 🥶🥶🥶

[@KenToonz]

I don't understand everyone's fascination with box art. Why would I want my car to look like every other car?

[@countmurcielago9802]

Glen am put off the BBX them top mounts for rear shocks look to weak and if they break it’s ruined the should of manufactured a better design

[@leemollison7508]

I have a BBX, The cage material is soft flexible and durable, the mounts will not snap off at all. When it's all bolted together it is strong enough to do the job required of it. The cage material will not like sliding on tarmac upside down though, so high speeds I would stick to off road....😂 car all in all I'd say is fairly durable, stronger than any 80s and 90s Tamiya design.

[@countmurcielago9802]

@@leemollison7508 good to hear what your thoughts are on it. It didn’t really look strong I might rethink putting it back on my to buy list.

[@davidturner2365]

Put a battery in your avanti clock 😂😂😂😂😂

[@TAMIYALegends]

🤣🤣👊🏻

[@davidturner2365]

😂😂😂👍👍👍

[@diamond66ist]

I have to admit i was a bit underwhelmed with the BBX build , its ok but the hype that preceded its much delayed release led me to higher expectations , not one piece of alloy aside from the battery holder pin , a very flexible roll cage , just very average in my opinion .

[@uroprop]

No need to go boxart on the BBx.go wild
