    A resistor cover is a must for the re-re boomerang. Fills on that gap between the body and the wing.

    Hint for you... Put the hotshot dogbones in the front and it solves the binding issue 👍

      Yes this is right - I did it with mine

      Yep me too 😊 I think its a bit wierd that this is a common problem with an easy fix but Tamiya haven't changed the dog bones in the kit🤔

    Sweet looking Boomerang and a great tip to help relieve the stress in the plastic arms.

    Great tip heating up screw pins! So many cracked suspension arms back in the day on my Boomerang and Bigwig.

      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Agree! I’ve replaced many! But fit this tip definitely helps

    Some great tips the Boomerang is hard to get here in Malaysia when I go hone to Australia next time I will pick one up. In about to get a Hornet and give it the ali chassis and mod it up and give it a good bashing. I'm more of a nitro guy but starting to enjoy the electric buggies as I get older.

    I had the same sticky front shock feeling like the rebound was just not there! I did not think to try and swap the o-rings, I will have to give that a try! It is a terrific looking buggy and they drive great. Have fun with it and I am looking forward to seeing what you have coming up for this year!

    Very helpful tips! You can use hotshot dogbones in the front. They are 1mm shorter than the stock ones.

    @Superutubeking Před 7 měsíci +2

    Great build , do you keep the boxes as these tamiyas are highly collectible

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yes, storage full of boxes! They take up a lot of room!

    I think the rear drive shafts, are longer than the front. Great looking buggy 👍🏻

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I initially thought I had them mixed up. But all 4 are the same length and same part number. On the hot shot cars they are longer on the rears.

    • @rcalltypes8230

      @@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA Strange what’s happening then, hope you find a solution 👍🏻

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci

      @rcalltypes8230 it’s a common issue with this family of cars. But I think once used a few times things wear and break in a little.

  • @Alan-cg8gx
    @Alan-cg8gx Před 7 měsíci +1

    I think Thundershot universal shafts were used back in the day, though I never had any for my Bomerange.

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci

      Yeah I believe the Thunder shot and Top force are 68mm length and are better suited

  • @schuttrostig5729
    @schuttrostig5729 Před 7 měsíci +1

    I found the front stabilizer quite ineffective on mine, probably should swap it to the hotshot stabilizer. Also on all my hotshot/boomerang style kits i had trouble with the left side of the the rear gearbox, the bearing hole for the diff seems to be to small. And i think the springs are to soft as well, but adding the spacers will not make the springs harder but only shift the running poistion. For stiffer springs would need some springs with higher springrate, and i am not sure which tamiya springs are best to use there.

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci +2

      Yes the front sway bar is pointless. Everything aside it actually drives very nice and is nicely suited to the stock 540 with a 2s Lipo. Not fast but definitely nostalgic fun

    • @slidey1788
      @slidey1788 Před měsícem +2

      The front bar holds the shell in place

  • @daytch9485

    Nice cars but it loooks like the same old brittle plastic that cracks or snaps

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yes nothing much changed design wise. But they do change plastics on some kits

    Adam are you going to do video on super saber?

    • @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA
      @RCACTIONAUSTRALIA  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yes 👍🏻 it should arrive in a few days and it will be my next build. I’m looking forward to it, as I have a great vintage one in the collection
