The 4 year hunt is over!

[@RCRetro]

I love kung-fu...I barely noticed it. Glad you were able to finally get this for your collection. You deserve it buddy. Enjoy.

[@mattmclafferty6265]

Thanks Keith, another enjoyable video.... re the Mad Wolf, I say lifes short, build it!...... Gauranga

[@jason.bochniak]

The Mad Wolf looks cool as hell! It’s like someone left Tamiya and went to work for Bandai the next day! Love it!

[@RCBirds]

Awesome purchses. These're very cool items. I saw many of them for the first time. I'm curious about your experiences with tis unusual gear set-up. So best wishes, you'll find another. Thanks for sharing Keith.

[@rolandlabriejr690]

Definitely keep it for your new in box kit collection it’s one I’ve never seen before but will definitely start looking now thanks for sharing

[@Jaysqualityparts]

Everybody was Kung fu fighting 🎵. Great stuff Keith thank you.

[@CraigOverend]

It looks like the designer really wanted to seal the entire driveline from dirt.

[@lo2713]

Another awsome haul 👌i dont know if i could build it, like you say. The pressentation is amazing 👍

[@MadBeeRC]

I get NIB collections but this buggy is very interesting and unique! That transmission set up looks fascinating Keith! Never seen this before and for me personally l would just have to build this!

[@Pablo668]

Interesting kit. Can't say I've seen one before. I speak for myself here, but you don't have to worry about wasting my time. I'm sitting here watching guys on the internet talk about their RC cars. I obviously don't have anywhere to be. As far as new in box kits, I could never own one. I'd be constantly at war with myself over building it or not.

[@neontetra1000]

That mad wolf looks so interesting . You really need to build that. That could be your most interesting video by far. It looks to me like Bandai might have had Tamiya produce the kit for them . The packaging , printing font etc is all so similar! Would love to see it built !! I’m sure everyone would as well!

[@alvincheung4657]

Wow, that's a nice kit and going onto my list to look out for... Great find! Bandai is still very big in the hobby arena and these days you find them mostly in stores with the Gundam mecha model kits. I saw a Bandai 1/16 RC Tiger tank being listed on sale recently but it sold later, so I'm not surprised to see this 1/10 2wd buggy. Haven't seen one before or realised they had these though, and it sounds like they even had a 4wd one. Unfortunately, seems like the sales didn't catch on though... Since they are still around making other plastic model kits, perhaps we can petition/request them for some re-res of these 1/10 2wd and 4wd kits...

[@tbrowning9643]

What a cool find! Never heard of that kit, awesome!

[@AFaceInTime]

Great job with the voice over. I enjoyed this video quite a bit. Well done!

[@coygtrc]

Didn't know this one. Great buy 👍🤝

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Wow, what an awesome looking kit, I vaguely remember the Bandai Mad Wolf, not sure where from though! Shame about the shock oil leakage. Bandai did a 4WD kit called the Interceptor, I'm sure I've seen a video on that one on KZbin somewhere. Oh, and the 'kung fu' dubbing was brilliant ;)

[@scootergti]

BanDai is a high quality model maker. A ton of the Star Wars space cruisers were made from that manufacture, kit bashing..... This kit is definitely news to me. Thanks, great video!

[@MrMelton77]

First time I've ever seen a Mad Wolf.

[@JF-RC]

Hey Keith, a very shrewd purchase, I sure overtime such a piece in your museum of the RC car world, will not only keep that WoW! Factor, but also the value will appreciate further. Although, I know you’re all about the nostalgia factor primarily, but there is always the financial factor that runs along side this very addictive hobby. Lots of extra parts too. Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊😎😎

[@paulwalker3246]

Another great video, just reach out if you are still looking for TRF201 spares, I've managed to build up a pretty good stock of most of the parts including all the hard to find items you mentioned in the video. I do love a Buyee unboxing :-)

[@DavidVidaurri]

That mad wolf is super awesome ❤

[@BazFairbrother]

The Honda S600 had chain drive to the rear wheels in real life, full size👍🏼

[@RC4X4]

Wow! You always come up with something I never even seen or heard of. I bet those are super rare. Yeah, find another one to run. Hate to even build one from new in box.

[@rustyrumpott4831]

Bandai Intercepter also exists

[@AddamsPlayground]

Very cool to see one NIB and it is a very unique kit for sure! It definitely has a very cool and complex rear end to it! This was definitely from the era of everyone doing there own thing and trying to get a firm foothold into the exploding RC market. Sadly some of the cool and complex engineering that went into them were also there downfall. It is a super cool kit to have and I would sit on that one for quite some time! If you ever do build it it should be when you have plenty of time to enjoy it and take it all in while building it! Lots of great goodies as well from buyee!

[@Geo_art_RC]

I knew Bandai made stuff like action figures etc but not RCs. That's really cool!

[@68burnout]

Cool as hell! I know Bandai only from their static model kits and figurines. Awesome car.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Bandai made a few RC’s. I didn’t know they did their version of the monogram lightning.. great find!!

[@christophercoconis2575]

Yeah,They had a few buggies. There's the Mad wolf, Interceptor,Dune buggy are the ones I know off the top of my head..Besides that???

[@simonburke4078]

Cool kit Keith 🙌🏻

[@AsurasWrath164]

Never knew Bandai released a rc-car. Bandai still is a very huge company producing toys, video games and media in Japan. A lot of their toys and video games are available internationally.

[@HaydadRC]

Well done Keith! I never knew about this car but it looks like a museum piece!👍😊

[@LukesVintageRC]

Awesome kit buddy. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I remember the monogram tornado, and lightning at toys r us. Always wanted them and would eye them every time I went there to buy models.. wonder if these were sold in the USA

[@chriswatson9519]

Wow that drive train on the mad wolf is mind blowing awesome find keith

[@reitplace4765]

Very cool... 'Enter RC ICons' hahahaha Kit is killer. THey make the Gundam models I do . They make way better plastics then Tamiya.. Another great kit.. THanks for sharing Coffee with Keith complete.. Really appreciate your videos brother I learn something every time even on the Dubbed versions hahahhaha..

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

Very interesting looking Kit 😎👍🏻

[@martinhsrc6699]

The Madwolf is super cool. Please build it on the channel

[@simonbodill]

Love it that was actually quite funny 🤣 great work around 👌🏻

[@Andym1159]

Nice Bandai 👌🏻 and that has to be a gem? The presentation of the kit is up there with the best….I remember Bandai for computer games and some figures/toys etc they must of tried to have a go at the rc market? A great kit to add to the collection and nice to see and know one, so 😎👍

[@kenblockx2010]

A VERY COOL VIDEO THIS ONE KEITH , well done

[@tm5123]

Bandai is a massive company these days, dwarfing tamiya in revenue, and probably on par with plastic model production. Pretty cool to have a piece of their history that's apparently their one toe dip into the RC world :D

[@tm5123]

I had a bit of a look, apparently Bandai made a ready to run type 4wd 1/10 RC buggy, called the intercepter, and its even got cantilever front suspension, it looks really cool. I think its a in a category between toy grade and hobby, anyway, the suspension on it really cool. :D

[@paulclancy1371]

Cool car. Great vid👍

[@agevan6735]

Haha awesome vid, Cheers Keith!

[@ddmdrive]

The people making this kit clearly were looking at Tamiya. The presentation and the box art could almost be Tamiya! Box art work and how it's laid out is pretty much the same!

[@BazFairbrother]

"Everybody was RC fighting"

[@carlkeig5640]

Great video Keith, I didn't know BanDai made a kit RC car, mad looking gearbox, hope u can find another one to build. Do you know where to purchase the mirror finish TRF decals,there exactly the same as the ones you have in this video but instead of them being white there mirror finish, I'm from the UK so maybe there just hard to find over here 😕

[@r.j.collins1010]

Adapt and overcome buddy

[@UlisesBatalla]

I love your TBLE+M01 12TURN. I RIGHT NOW AM RUNNING THAT COMBINATION EXCEPT WITH A 10 TURN IN MY MF - 01X FOR THE POOR BOYS SPEED CHALLENGE. I HAD TO DO SOME LOOKING UP ONLINE BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE MAXIMUM AMPERAGE DRAW OF THAT SPEED CONTROLLER WAS AND I WAS SO SURPRISED, AND DIDN’T REALIZE THAT IT WAS 100 A. SORRY ABOUT THE CAPITALIZATION ON ALL THE LETTERS. IT MUST’VE JUST GOTTEN STUCK THAT WAY. I WAS USING VOICE TO TEXT AND DIDN’T WANT TO TYPE EVERYTHING OVER AND IT JUST WOULDN’T STOP CAPITALIZING EVERYTHING.

[@prophetate]

Hahaha old Kung fu movie 😂😊❤️

[@harlyquin]

0:00 thats an interesting noise

[@kenblockx2010]

BANDAI is more into GUNDUM now. Very high grade Gundum kits that they have

[@bradkalman2353]

I think you should build it and run it

[@kenblockx2010]

Bandai should start again in RC cars and make the same quality or high grade quality rc cars from back in the day.

[@tm5123]

I think they are fully into the Gundam etc kits, probably not worth it hopping back into RC, they have their own niche. Kinda like Marui who just make BB-guns these days, and some random scale stuff.

[@dennisharold8934]

They have a 4wd 1/10 kit-
