Fun to build and run, but leaves alot to be had...
Great kit, had alot of fun building it! The oil shocks do have weak springs (out of the box the car sags a little), but I plan on upgrading those anyways. The kit also comes with plastic bearings throughout so def pic up a set of 5x11x4mm bearings (10 pack like $13 on Amazon). Other than that, one of the better kits I've put together in a while. The plastic parts are really thick and look to be really durable so time will tell. The gearbox has thick plastic gears (.08 mod) that look like they can handle brushless power all day! For what its worth, this kit is great value for money. Will update after some more use! *UPDATE- The oil shocks that come with the kit are not great. The springs are soft and the shock oil is light so the chassis bottoms out on everything! I already have to buy a rear skid plate because of that. The esc isn't accomidating either because it only works with tamiya brushless motors or <27t brushed motors (no fast brushed motors with this thing). Then the motor mount only has 2 adjustments for a 17 and 19 tooth pinion, with no adjustable mount even an option! This kit has potential to be amazing, but its almost like Tamiya is limiting it so it can't compete with there more expensive models. Its still fun, but in stock form it just feels held back.

Awesome kit for beginner! Fun build experience for my 10yr old.
Super fun and easy to build for my 10yr old (with help). Tamiya has very thorough instructions, and the pieces fit very well with only a little bit of dressing on the burrs left from the parts trees. Definitely get a set of bearings from the start and also turnbuckles so you have setup options. This car is quick for a beginner and very smooth and controllable right out of the box. Would I take it to a track, probably not, but to have the build experience is invaluable for a young driver over the RTR stuff. over the first few months, it has had some spectacular crashes and always come out driving. He drives hard, pegs the throttle and like to see it fly over the jumps at the BMX park in town, and this car has not seen the repair bench yet. Great product Tamiya! Would recommend or buy again in a heartbeat!

Great bang for your buck!
Great car, really fun to build, just wish that it came with transmitter/receiver, paint, servo, and a battery/charger. Love it, and easy to build, great job, Tamiya! *Be sure to order ball bearings. They make the car much faster!* Overall, I think it's worth the money!

It is a Tamiya.
This is a fun and simple Tamiya kit. Like all Tamiya, it has detailed instructions with 1 to 1 scaling. I did do a few hop-ups out of the box, such as Fast eddy bearings, carbon fiber shock towers, and the Tamiya Sport tuned brushed motor. It dose come with a hobbywing esc for brushed motors and torque tuned motor. I did buy shocks as well but ended up using the stock cva shocks that came in the kit as they tuned the best for the car. It is not super fast with the brushed esc and motors but can be easily upgraded to brushless if that is what you are looking for. I'd say the most difficult part of the kit is the decals. All in all it is a wonderful kit for beginners or rc enthusiasts.

and you'll probably want to get some rubber hosing and cut out some bump-stops for the rear suspension so she doesn't bottom out
Had my reservations about this. Been decades since I got back into this hobby. What a tremendous value for money. Nothing fancy, but well engineered and super-sturdy, with a lot of potential for customization. It comes including a speed-controller that can be used with brushed and brushless motors (sensored or sensorless) down to 10.5T (which would be overkill for this chassis without some additional minor modifications to the drive train components) I in fact OVER-powered this chassis with only a mildly modified motor (Tamiya BZ 23T brushed motor) - but that speaks to the lightness and robust nature of the kit, and my lack of practice properly prepping the chassis. You will want to use some thread lock on the screws (just the under the head, no more!) that the suspension arms pivot on, and you'll probably want to get some rubber hosing and cut out some bump-stops for the rear suspension so she doesn't bottom out harshly - but then you can beat the ever-loving crap out of the thing. Also - would recommend some washers to negate the slop in the wheels after assembly (it's a kit targeted at the beginner level - so the tolerances are pretty wide. Everything fits, but some of the running parts of the drive-train may do better long term if the clearances are tightened up a bit.) This is an EASY recommendation for an RC modeler of any experience. Just plain fun.

Great starter kit and car
Great starter kit and car. Very tough which is good because we've been crashing it a lot. I think the springs are a little soft as it bottoms out very easily even set to the higher ride height setting. But with the oil filled shocks and high torque motor it's fast and fun to drive. It was a great summer project with the kids and I think they've learned a lot.

Tamiya make the best RC kits, easy to build with good instructions. This took me about 3 hours and I am a novice RC builder. This is a build it yourself kit so don't buy if you are expecting a built RC car. It's fast enough with the standard motor but might upgrade at a later date. Came with oil filled shocks which is a nice touch. Would recommend for newbies and older kids. Or middle aged men like me who wanted a toy to race my kids Grasshopper.

タミヤ最高! よく走ります。四輪駆動のTT-02Bに比べれば加速や安定感では劣りますが、シンプルに操る楽しさはコチラの方が好きです。 タイヤOP.1185&1186を換えました。換えたフロントタイヤの丸みが好き🩷リヤタイヤもダートで滑らしたいので、こちらの方が私に合ってます。 その他オプションパーツ数点(ベアリングOP.1579、ダンパーOP.1567、モーターOP.68、モーターヒートシンクOP.831)
