I've NEVER Had So Much Fun with a Tamiya. EVER!

This is the Tamico 15yr Anniversary 'Limited Edition' Tamiya Dancing Rider. Only 333 were made, and this is probably the only one that's been converted to Brushless.

I absolutely love that you troll the hell out of the people that talk crap, makes my laugh every time.

[@TomleyRC]

haha, I love it... although more recently I have unfortunately upset a few Karens, but I'm sure they'll get over it

[@rogueFactor]

@@TomleyRC Karens make the world go 'round... a little faster than it should.🤣

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I don’t have a desire to own one of these, but they really remind me of the Honda Gyro 3 wheel scooter from the 80’s. They handled and looked almost identical

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, you can still get the Gyros, and the latest are electric I think

[@Daytonafox1]

This needs a Domino's Pizza Livery!! Tempted to get one now.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes!

[@Northbourne12]

Do a race with the other KZbinrs it would be good to see on a track, with it’s turning it would make it very funny to see 😂

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, would be fun haha

On the 20th day of Christmas Santa dude gave to me. A Tamiya dancing rider rc . Three wheels a wheeling .

I do believe my 3D printers going to be busy. Thats a funky rear and its given me a few ideas. Oh'dear

[@TomleyRC]

Yes :)

[@TheRCScotsman]

When I first saw one, I wasn't too convinced. You've converted me! This looks really good fun. I reckon a spec racing series with a grid full of these things would be utterly brilliant!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I had never considered one, but man... so much fun!

[@PRESTINERCs]

​@@TomleyRC With only 333 made, how can they really be racing them right now? Maybe in the future if more are made? I don't really know but I think it's pretty cool and they need to make more of them. Maybe this was to see how they would sell, before making a lot of them... Just a theory and thanks for all your videos!

[@Mardy72]

​@@PRESTINERCs The 333 were this limited edition one with different stickers, wheels and chrome body.....they sell the standard one as well and there were plenty of them

I'd like to do one in the old school Honda F1 colours

haha... not sure if it's the last time though

[@b08m4rt1n]

Looks like you had the most fun playing with your Willy in years.

[@deanwellerassociates]

looks like it could give all the delivery scooters around Thatcham a good race. Perhaps a fake Pizza delivery box to house a FPV cam? Enjoying the series mate. Cheers

[@PhilipCockram]

Theres a full size 3 wheeler called the Carver , Richard Hammond did a road test on it a few yrs back .

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

That blue on the gloves and helmet.... Oh My !

[@MysticRiverRC]

LOL, this was epic! It's a bit bigger than I thought it would be, but still as cute as a button!

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, so cool

[@muskokamike127]

The hamster did a review on a 3 wheeler on top gear and it was a blast, the leaning over in the corners etc was (as he said) like flying a fighter jet. I think it had a toyota 4 cyl in the back. It was a riot when Jezzer tried to get in.

[@TomleyRC]

I've been eyeing them up on eBay and Japanese actions haha. Although not the one they did a video on.. .the cheaper Honda Gyros

[@TidyRC]

Wot episode and series was that I don’t remember it? I remember the episode when they were racing and Richard had a three wheeler. Didn’t review it tho. It was just a bunch of challenges

[@muskokamike127]

@@TomleyRC when they did the review I thought "I'd drive the hell out of that" but at $25K USD or over $30K cdn, that's a no, not for a toy/play vehicle. I ride a vstar 1100 in the summer and this would be an all weather version of a motorcycle....

[@grrfy]

It was the CarverOne .I think they just make EV versions now.@@TidyRC

[@JT-wf8cc]

I have been waiting for this video since the first vid of the RCadventcalender!

[@TomleyRC]

It was so fun to make

[@michaeldorich4485]

The cool factor on this is quite high. It's very unique and just makes you and your viewers laugh and smile. It was a great choice for the advent calendar. As you know this is a version of the dancing rider. Each year at Tamiya's world championship race in Japan there is a fun class like the comical Grasshopper, the Lunchbox, the Volkswagen bus, etc. One year it was the Dancing Rider. To see 10 of those racing on the track was great. I think that would be a hilarious KZbinrs race.

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

That is cool and these things are really cool , I get why Harley likes them too , I’ve always meant to look into getting one , even a china version .

[@michaeldorich4485]

@@RcPlayer-tt2vw Tamico has the regular Dancing Rider for about 80 Euros.

[@SharkysGarageRCandMore]

Love it, would love you to get another one (non limited edition) and do a rossa build on it !

[@anthonygalvez5400]

I think this would be a great race between yourself, Kevin Talbot and RCKicks!

[@GeorgiaBoyRC]

Love the music. Forget the haters. Although, they do give you great opportunities to troll back at them. Best British RC channel! Best Rc Channel. In my opinion

[@TomleyRC]

haha... thanks mate. I love a little trolling now and again haha

My main camera and lens too. And the SmallRig. You're making me ponder getting a pro mist filter.

Tbh I can 𝙉𝙊𝙏 wait till the holiday season is behind us. I enjoyed it a lot when younger but after the loss of my oldest brother followed by my father the following year and lastly my best friend my Boxer I've become a true Grinch unfortunately.

[@markgrochowski7934]

I'm not looking forward to Christmas now...I don't want the videos to end. :(

[@TomleyRC]

haha... I was only saying today to my Wife... 'it's gonna feel weird after xmas not having a video everyday'

[@markgrochowski7934]

I have an idea for a video. Your top 5-10 RC vehicles to use when you're not filming. What vehicles do you and your family use just for fun? If you dont want to video this, please send me the answer. Thank you.​@TomleyRC

[@nunocarneiro464]

That driver is a proper Brit, white as a sheet of paper 😂😂😂😂

[@mattster197]

I love mine. I replaced all the parts with INTEGY aluminum. Its heavy but with the super sport motor it runs great. fast and its fun to drive.

Always make sure your Willy is OK after a crash

Tomley, making this time of year more tolerable since 2023. Thanks KP

A very cool RC modelcar. It's actually based on the Carver. A small car invented here in the Netherlands. It was also featured on TopGear.

[@josephscott4997]

lol I saw that🤣

I had a go of one these with brushless in it sometime back it handled well

[@geordiegingerc3517]

Your latest content has helped through a tough period. Keep it coming

[@Jephph13bREW]

This is one of my favourite tamiyas to drive around. FYI, these are self righting since I noticed you kept walking up to it to right it once it fell over!

[@truenopanda86]

Tomley!!! Frame the paper from the Dancing Rider!! I would in a frame with lexan or glass. Cheers mate!

Lol, got one of those little trikes by rc pro for Christmas from my son and i freaking love it. I have other cars and monster trucks but these little trikes are fun too.

[@rcinhand9671]

Those are fun. By the way, just rock the steering, and it'll stand itself back up. No need to go after it!

[@kerc]

That's some pretty clever engineering in this thing!

[@carlbModels]

most amusing! with some development, two wheels at the front (still leaning) and suspension forks with softer tires... could become something really amazing. Nice video 👍🍺🇬🇧

[@TomleyRC]

oh.. interesting, that could work

looking forward to Phils brushless 4WS Squash Van build N' Bash.

[@gabormihaly667]

The Barbie doll is exceptionally good for this one thing! 🤣🤣

[@hanger9uk665]

Phil, you missed the coolest feature....you can self right it if it falls over. Using the steering the plastic bar puts it back on its wheels.

[@aaronbrenkus9126]

For window masking I recommend either frog tape or spray mask, both work great for spray-painting around clear stuff.

[@danielsantos8625]

“HI IM BARBIE! I can be anything you want! Even a projectile weapon!”🤣

[@Salhdfhsjh]

looks kinda cool

[@frednel4326]

Man thats verry cool bro, some fatter tires on the back and a front bumper cage would look cool and be better for handling and protect that front wheel from impact 👍, that little boddy is amazing too and would be cool if it had a tail fin lol👌

[@adamwolfy4826]

Willy should have had a purple helmet 🤭🙈🤣

[@TomleyRC]

I mean... I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered that haha

[@Chunky246]

They do race these in Japan (as they do with all the models). They look epic all racing together. I thought those arms at the side let it self right using the steering? Masses of hop ups for these too.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I realised after about 5 rolls overs that you can self right it haha

Very cheeky little RC, love it ❤

[@malcolmsmith4833]

Hey great channel, Love the advent calendar ,watch every one 😊

[@mikehorb9485]

Music is fantastic. Put a little rhythmic high hat on it, maybe some deep front note attack 808 drum kicks, and then some sort of outer space “woo waahhhh weeeee wooaaahhhh wooooo” over it. Seriously though, I like your normal music choices, they’re cool songs, I check them out sometimes.

[@sharksrcbash]

I thought I was going to hate it, but I actually really like it. And it's on sale for $72.22 I like that too. Thanks for the review Phil.

Great driving montage. I reckon you can always tell if you are super stoked on a car if the montage is either amazing or terrible- you either really get into capturing it moving well, or are enjoying the driving itself so much the filming comes second!

I notice you're still using the Insta360 Go2. I bought one yesterday to use on my RC's after watching your review recently. (Bit late to that party). Maybe I should get a Dancing or Dual Rider to go with it. They look like a lot fun and are so different from my other RC's.

[@TomleyRC]

It’s a great camera for the on board shots. Mines a bit battered and bruised now, may need to replace it. ‘Tack Black’ from Amazon is great for securing it on stuff.
