For me, this is simply one of the most beautiful and iconic 4WD buggies from the 1980ies! So happy Tamiya re-re-released this again last year, 2017.
Build, tests and first run coming up very soon!
If you missed some footage of the box itself (which really is a piece of art in itself) check out the last short video where we "unboxed the box" (!): • One more box from Tami...

Nordic RC Visions Statement:
This video features homemade footage of my own radio-controlled unit, the Tamiya Boomerang (Tamiya 58418), from my personal RC model collection. All rights reserved.
In 1988 I bought my Tamiya Boomerang from the Ala Moana Mall in Honolulu. Built it with my Dad back home in New Zealand. Wonderful memories. Thank you.
Awesome Tamiya memories, Matt! Wish I had discovered Tamiya back then in the 1980s with my Dad :-) Oh, well, I had a lot of fun with my Nikkos and Taiyos, and now I'm catching up. Thanks a lot for watching, Matt, I appreciate the feedback. Love to hear when these videos bring out great memories :-)
Cool did the Ala Moana Mall have a hobby shop? Hobby shops are a dying breed, especially in shopping malls. I remember going to hobby shop mall when I was a kid and they had a built/unpainted Clod Buster in the window. Great memories.
Beautiful classic racer
Definitly agree! Such an iconic beauty. Thank you very much for watching, koni san!
Another great video buddy 😎👊🏻
Thanks a lot, bro! Pure pleasure opening a Tamiya kit ... for us Tamiya addicts ☺️
Nice unboxing. Great video , looking forward to the build. 👍
Thank you very much, Let's Play RC!
Wow your videos are beautiful! Work of art!👌🏼
Really appreciate the kind feedback. Would love to get better, abut at least I spend a lot of time on the editing. So glad to hear that that time is appreciated! Thanks!
Great unboxing, I remember when my friend got a Boomerang back in 1987 I wanted one so bad (still do) thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you very much, Shayen! I remember I wanted Taiyo Jet Fighter back then (I didn't know hobbygrade/Tamiya existed). I eventually got one, but it's nice now, 30+ years later to get the "real one" :-) Thanks a lot for watching, my friend.
What a beautiful and thorough unboxing of such a classic and beautiful Tamiya, Mikael! Love your style, gonna enjoy future videos of this one my friend! :-)
Thank you and thank you for the feedback, Mark! Much appreciated, as I really spend a lot of time editing and doing the text files for these. I know it's not gonna be one of my most watched videos, but I do what I like to do and spend time on what I like to spend the most time on :-) Thank you for noticing. Most people will probably find such a video boring :-) Looking forward editing the rest. Love this classic buggy :-) Worth to spend some time on.
I know what it takes to make such a video my friend, and to do it as well as you have takes commitment, effort and time, and I truly appreciate that. I found it compelling to watch :-)
Yeah, I can imagine that your recent video took a lot of time to edit - finding/re-vieweing all the old shots and then editing it all together. I loved that video and appreciated the hard work you put into it too :-)
Hehe - editing buddies! :-)
Nice kit, great video Mikael! 👍
Thanks, Charlie! Time for another classic :-)
😉 Nice! don't throw it around to hard....get it LOL!
Thanks, yeah, I'm definitly not gonna put this into a the mud, like you did with your Hotshot, he he ;-)
😉LOL! yes that was so wrong!
I love this car. Thinking of picking one up myself here soon. Thank you sir!
Thank you very much for watching, Ben. Hope you get one! Love the Hotshot family. Such classic 4WD buggies. And this one is one of my favorites :-)
Such a great kit, very nice choice 👍😎
Thanks, Steve! Love this buggy.
Excellent unboxing Mikael. Loved how you edited the scenes. It must have taken forever. Big thumbs up my friend.
Thanks a lot Rob! Yeah, literally forever! And it's probably not gonna be one of my "most popular videos" he he. But it's all worth it when a few other Tamiya enthusiasts, like you, comments :-) Much appreciated, my friend.
This is my second RC car bought in 1990 when I was 12. With plastic bearings and application of grease on dogbones it wears very badly after a number of off road runs.😂
Cool you had the original from back then. Must have been a quick and cool buggy back then (still cool though). And yeah, these really need metal ball bearings.
I see a year 1986 to 2008 on the chassis. Very nice kit!
Yeah, the original is from 1986 and the re-release 2008. It’s nice they add these stamps. No one can sell a re-release chassis as a original with that ☺️
Boomerang is always my favorite 👍👍
One of my absolute favorites too ☺️ Thanks for watching, bro.
Hej Mikael! Tamico had 3 in stock yesterday evening. When i went home from evening shift, all gone! I managed to get one elsewhere almost half the Tamico price 😉
Great vid! Love the music 😁
Nice, my friend! Uhh, they went quickly! Hoping to see the finished build on Instagram 🙂 I got this one on sale from Tamico back then. I think a little above 100€ 🙂
Wow, it's built already? You don't know how much I miss building a kit. I wish I could build one but my space is limited. I do have plenty of Rc vehicles though. Bash on!😎🤘
Yeah, this one was build on evening times, with no filming. I have a hard tome finding time to build and film. So I also got a few RTRs this year. But I got some nice pictures of each step and some footage of some of the steps. Wish I had more time to build too :-)
Nice unboxing. Made me go look at mine again lol. Soon, I promise (as in this winter lol).
Would be cool to see ... next to your Bigwig, he he ;-) Oh man, yeah, got quite a few NIBs too. I also need to do something about that :-)
Nice unboxing Mikael, One of my favorite buggies that I still need to get..lol Looking forward to seeing more of it bro!! I would do the dual shock frt conversion thou adds to it handling better :)
Thanks, Chris! Yeah, it’s such a classic look. Just love this. Reminds me of being a kid in the 1980ies, with the Taiyo Jet Fighter in all the toy stores. Nice to get the ‘real one’ 30-40 years later ☺️ Yeah, definitly heard the Dual shock mod improves the performance a lot, but I think I’ll keep this one stock. There’s a lot of other buggies in the Hotshot family that comes stock with the Dual shock, like the Bigwig, Super Hotshot. Or I’ll maybe build a Winger some day with the Dual shock. So this (and some day a Hotshot) gonna be all stock and 1980ies mono shock fun 😂 Thanks a lot fir watching, Chris! Hope your vintage racers are coming along.
@@NordicRC Anytime bud, I love your channel and the way you do your presentations.. If I ever do start a channel I would love to get your input on doing things.. Oh yeah I remember walking into toy stores any staring at the Nikko and Tyco/ Taiyo cars trying to convince my parents to get me one..lol Sometime I'm going to have to get a Boomerang and a Super Hotshot for my fleet of cars!! A winger really Mikael now we're talking rare!! My racers are getting there thanks doing a complete teardown and cleaning on my RC10 graphite as I type this waiting for a goodies box to come in the mail..lol :)
Could be awesome seeing your fleet in your own channel! That’s really what youtube is for me. Sharing the hobby. I think the best advice is just ti make videos that one enjoys to make ☺️ Good to hear they are coming along. But yeah, takes some time when one would like to do it right. Yeah, a Winger would be nice. Not a real Winger body though. I think TBG made one too. And MCI Racing has the decals. And then a re-release Boomerang ☺️
Big. Like 18
Thanks a lot!
Nice video dude 😉 that is a beautifull châssis !
Thanks, bro! Yeah, it definitly is. Such a classic 1980ies look. Love it 😍
Nice. Preaching to the converted, but put bearings all the way through it.
Yeah, and a steel pinion. Thanks for watching again, Pablo!
Love the editing Mikael. It flowed together nicely. Was that an MSC cover I saw near the end ? Thumbs up my friend : )) Sorry for the late comment. I am struggling to keep up with everyone's uploads.
Thanks, Derek! Don’t get youtube-stress ☺️ Watch the videos you want to watch. There are no obligations here. Just enjoy yourself 😃 Ohhh... yeah, I actually had one edit where I showed the MSC cover up close ... but the video had to be cut down shorter ... just hilarious to see the MSC cover still in the rerelease ☺️ Thanks a lot for watching, my friend.
Best chassis of the bunch.
Yeah, having only tried the Bigwig and Thundershot, I for the first run with the Boomerang, definitly would prefer that one. I think, with dual shocks in the front, it would feel almost like a modern 4WD Tamiya. And I love the looks too 😄 Thanks for watching, Mal.
I like the single shock quirky.
Yeah, definitly a fun runner as it is :-)
