I fondly remember my Astute and Super Astute. The Super Astute was a real step up.
I had a dyna storm in 1995. Later an associated. Tamiya is Nice great models.
I just built my super astute on my two days off from work (roll on for normal days again) the body I did light gun metal and runs a 10t brushless and 2s ! It's a bit of a rocket but suprisingly controllable! Good vid again looking forward to the second instalment👍
I think this has to be one of my favorite videos now it is I like in the beginning and how you were jumping around and then the music oh man that was awesome
now thats something new on your opening...kinda cool dude..
That really is a very special RWD Tamiya, Gavin. I have been looking at this one for some time, just costs a few pennies - Nice going my friend. BTW I did reply to your Tag video and explained that I was one of the first in the chain! I know notifications ain't working properly at the mo. All the best mate. :))
I had one back in 89, Mark. As Gavin said, it was a bit fragile....
CRP and Lunsford Racing made some stout replacement parts for it, which then made it strong... But HEAVY! 😖
They were very limited then, I doubt any still exist today...
I Raced a Team Associated RC10 B1 in the Semi Pro circuit... But I absolutely LOVED this Buggy for just bombing about at a local dirt track! It was awesome for practice.... It HANDLED just like a pro Buggy, not as precise, but it didn't hurt as bad if you stuffed it, as opposed to my $350 (IN 1990!!) Pro car!! 😲
This rere looks bloody FANTASTIC!!
Cheers 🍻 Mate!
Mark Bryan RC Ah, I thought it was just me having notification problems! Good to know. 👍
Dont know if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown :)
@Jason Ty Yup, been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Really enjoyed the dancing part 🕺
You are most welcome lol. I left the camera recording and found the footage when editing up hehehe. It was lovely and sunny yesterday in the UK so I can the window open and the music on.
That's one THICC motor plate💎
Absolutely love your video's, but I admit I did laugh when I saw your servo! I have just bought a Super Astute to build (no idea of the issues until I did some more research) and literally one day before your video slapped my own head and realised what I needed to get was something that I'd never had before. I went with the Savox too as it was the cheapest available and seemed like a good choice. I also had to go with PS-57 as I couldn't get PS-1 and buy the extra ball races! Great work sir. Cheers.
I'd love to see a video showing the progression of Tamiya buggies, especially ones that might be somewhat suited towards racing... like what different ones followed the Asute, etc... I'm looking to build a Neo Fighter for trying on the track a bit, but also wondering if there might be a few others that would be suitable for the track some...
Looking into possibly trying to get a Sand Viper, Dark Impact, Zahhak, etc...
Good video
Awesome Car 😎👍🏻
Hiya Gav. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for this video, very informative, and "influential". I've not long received a Super Astute kit, it's one I always wanted as a kid, but like most of us in this age group, I could never afford one.
I've already built and painted it, but like you I don't have the right servo, or even an ESC or motor. Now thanks to your "influence" hahaha I now know exactly what I need. I'm going on the www to search for those much needed electrics now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a running video of the Super Astute.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Cheers

Nice job I'll put one together a couple months ago.
It’s a nice easy build and I really enjoyed it.
I ran an Astute in a comp once but it was not good so i got an RC10 :)
Astute and S Astute are my all time fav Tamiya cars.
I had the original at launch, the only real weakness was the rear hubs. They had toe in / out adjustment but where they attached to the hub they would snap off. The answer was fitting madcap rear hubs without the adjustment. Wish I still had it !
Gavin, what a fantastic bit of Kit!! 😎👍👍 So far it looks as well thought out as the Original, which I had in 1990 (first Astute). I mentioned in a comment below to my good Friend Mark Bryan, that CRP and Lunsford Racing made some stout replacement parts for it, that I'm certain wouldn't exist today.
Still, what a NICE Buggy!!
Though in TYPICAL Tamiya fashion, all that goodness - and they FAILED this Kit with those SLOPPY Rod Ends!! 😡😖 Nobody need cost savings like THAT on a top Kit.
Regardless, I predict that it will be your BEST driving 2WD Buggies!
Please stay SAFE! 😷

That's a nice buggy and thanks for another great video. I just don't get the price Tamiya claims for it. It is quite expensive in my opinion!
My first buggy. still got it but with a random replacement wing. always had problem with rear shocks grinding on the body shell. other than that it is a great buggy.
Hey Gavin I got the super asute and the buggy champ coming any advice on building them?
What's the flashing red reflection on the plastic trees?
I was wondering that. Probably just a recording light?
I have an autocue and the red light is a reflection on the glass from the inside. I need to cover it up as it can be seen in the footage I know.
That thin plate flat chassis does look very fragile. I'm guessing it's not going to take much punishment?
Nice buggy this, I'll have to get one. Have you thought about doing a Bruiser Gav?
Yep 100%, one day. 👍🏻
In my re re I fitted a standard steering servo, but you need 2mm spacers between the servo mounts and the servo, I used a futaba S3010 ,just fits,and i mean just , also fitted a Technigold motor too.
You got a full size servo in, nice. Well I’ve ordered one now but that’s for letting us know.
Super 👍👍👍👍
How did you mount the tires? The rears are impossible to mount!
I mounted them but they are far too soft. The rears stay compressed for a few seconds when squeezed! I’m adding sponges.
Is this fully ball raced?
Yes but it has some bushes in the arms that I guess can be replaced.
Great video thank you. I’m in Australia and I’m wanting to get into building and cannot buy a kit as no retailers have any in stock. Do you know if Tamiya will be releasing any kits like the hornets or boomerang?
Tamiya have already rereleased the Boomerang and the Hornet before. The boomerang is getting harder to find NIB now so you beat hunt one out ASAP 👍🏻
What servo is in the old astute ?
Why are all of this iconic buggy car are fragile.. smh.. (astute / avante)
why do you always just to Tamiya cars..just curious...
I have Traxxas TRX4, Schumacher CAT K1 Aero, four Kyosho Mid vintage cars, RC10 Gold Pan, Kyosho Optima Turbo and I’m about to get a Kyosho Tomahawk. I’m also looking for a Kyosho Mid SE. I get the cars I like, but Tamiya cars are popular and a lot easier to acquire in the UK. In my childhood it was all Tamiya and Schumacher.
I like the videos but that music is enough to drive someone insane. Stop playing that type of music and focus on the builds. JMHO.
