![{NEW} TAMIYA BBX FIRST RUN AND THOUGHTS [BB-01]](/img/tr.png)
One more thing, it's your master piece you decal it up they way you want, and if you ask me, YOU NAILED IT
Ralphie
Appreciate it!
I've been building Tamiya RC and 1/35 scale models since 1979. One thing that has never changed with Tamiya is the use of screws and the complexity of their models. This kit will shortly be in my collection it has peaked my interest since I first saw it.
When deciding a paint scheme I chose my colors and after cutting out the body i save the big scraps to run tests on the color and the sheen of the finish.
Second time I've watched and found some more great tips from you and the best part is your knowledge of the modal at hand.
I don't race so the setup of my modals is what's suggested in the manual. keep it up my brother this vid works for me THANKS
Thank's I just got mine for $255 US but didn't know it was that high tec glad I caught this video very informative I want the slipper clutch so I'll look for one today.
I knew it was a real racer not a toy but as I said did not know it is so high tec.
Perfect video.
Ralphie
Slipper clutch not needed my friend, Id recommend the gear differential over the slipper clutch
This looks nice, tamiyas best in a loooooong time!! It looks like they put a lot of thought into this one. nice showcase!
it is an rc modelers toy for sure!
T🎉
Beautifully build.
I like this video!
Thanks Rex - great passion for the hobby which is evident in the way you talk about these things. Cheers for the breakdown on this car. I'm saving up for a kyosho Javelin so probably won't get this one, but I enjoyed the clip
It was a great video to get an overview of BBX.thank you❗️
I am also going to built this on next month. let me check detail
of many functions.
Oh wow the yellow looks really nice!
looks really nice a lot of people say the tamiya camel yellow is what was used in the original rc10 box art
Very interesting to see the details of the BBX up close! nicely done Rex!
Love the Colour too!
thank you, is there anything else i can check out for you in the next video?
Damn, that looks so good in that colour. Thanks for the video. Great information.
Thank you
Great video of the Tamiya BBX. And the yellow looks dope on it. 😎
Thanks a lot
Best BBX video out the. Good job.
Great video Rex. Looks awesome and looking forward to seeing your running impressions
Thanks! when the next orchard showdown
First video of yours I’ve seen. I sub in the first 15seconds as I liked the style of video…. I ordered mine a few days ago and now the long wait (30days) already decided the colour, same camel yellow and it looks great. I’ll keep it as Tamiya intended to start with before mod though. Thanks for sharing
Very cool, thanks for going through it and pointing some stuff out! I am looking forward to getting mine... eventually! I still have no idea if it is coming or not so I am just waiting! It looks really cool and so far everyone has said it runs really well. I should have gotten the slipper but it should be fine for my light driving! I don't think my track has enough traction to warrant one anyways! Looking forward to seeing you run it and I hope the 1:1 cars get sorted out soon! That is never fun juggling rides around!
thanks Addam! 🙏 slipper is not needed at all, just peace of mind
Awesome video! I really want one of these kits...
It seems even better than I was expecting! I'm so excited for this thing! I haven't seen it available around me yet but hopefully one will pop up soon! Until then I'll enjoy it vicariously through you 😉
i hope to get another video but its been busy or raining sadly
Good job, great vid!
Great informative video and a great looking buggy.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice! Love the colour scheme. Looking forward to building mine.. hopefully soon.👍😊
okkkkkkkk you got one!
Good show man
Excellent review!! Can't wait to get my hands on the BBX
I hope you get one soon! this buggy is certainly a Modelers toy, very nicely designed to replicate a real world buggy instead of an rc buggy. thanks for stopping in! 🙏
Nice job! Can't wait to see you run it.
i hope to get to a track soon, thank you for stopping in 🙏
Great in depth intricate review
Big GTA fan here also🤘
I would transform it into a dragster arranged as it is
Very cool details on this buggy. I like th slipper adjustment and the easy way to adjust caster at the front. As soon there are more hop-ups I'm in. It's just for my (maybe unecessary neds), I want some more off-road looking rear wheels and a wing.
thank you dirk!
Great video brother! I am looking at getting one
Excellent name
You hit on some.cool stuff. More detailed that other vids of the bbx
I appreciate the feedback 🙏
The Martini sticker is classy! Good call on skipping the BBX. I like the Camel Yellow. Well done! Subscribed to your channel!
thank you 🙏
Great interesting vid !! Those shocks looks like earlier TRF without the threads for spring collar. Looks good!
thank you for the feedback 🙏
Great video review. I like the look you went for on your build...
old school look, love the 80's buggies
I love it in that color.. nicely done.
thank you 🙏
UPDATE:
**paint used was Tamiya PS-19 Camel Yellow
**you can also adjust rear toe by using shims at the front mounting location of the trailing arm.
**the motor and gearing choice was not good, i went with a 10.5T brushless and 21 tooth gearing
Love that color choice 😉
So much detail. Nice video
Thank you!
Sounds like a well thought out RC 👍
this buggy is certainly a Modelers toy, very nicely designed to replicate a real world buggy instead of an rc buggy. thanks for stopping in! 🙏
Amazing detailed overview, Rex. Thanks for the great video. I can't wait to order mine!
PS: I do miss your old channel's name. It had more of a personal touch, to me.
Im glad you spoke up about the name i need to know. thanks for your constant feedback! 🙏
Nice overview Bro' one of the best name in RC vehicle 🎉😊
You have a daughter who drives?! I thought you were in mid 20's! Good for you
LoL, I’m currently 37, i have three kids
Excellent video. Lots of great information. I like your color choice for the paint. Hmm, I might need to get one of these.
im glad you found it informative, this buggy is certainly a Modelers toy, very nicely designed to replicate a real world buggy instead of an rc buggy. thanks for stopping in! 🙏
just got mine today
cant wait to build it
ordered a speed control and brushless motor set
i see already the after market parts are coming on ebay, bit pricey but i suspect they will get cheaper if buggy sells well
the shocks look great too
I dont usually recommend off brand aluminum. I hope you have fun!
I like it 👌 the yellow is one i use for my Warhammer 40k Imperial fists 👊 army! Awesome job 👏
Warhammer guys is where i learned my few painting skills on plastic, watching you guys paint was incredible
Love your videos brother miss u looks like a kyosho fast attack vehicle 🤣👍very nice 👌 looks great 👍
love your builds! i need a 3d printer! and somebody to show me the way
Excellent video, just liked and subbed. I'm so keen to get my hands on one of these, greetings from North East UK.
welcome and thank you very much! 🙏
Thanks for the video! You've EARNED my like. You gave a lot of good information. I was browsing a hobby shop website for plastic scale models and this (BBX) happened to randomly show up. I instantly fell in love with it because I used to run the Tamiya Wild One and Fast Attack Vehicle in the '80's against my friends Frog and Hotshots and Hornet. I love that Tamiya has quality cars that look real. THey're durable, high performance, and they really look great in scale. Without realizing how new this was I thought I must have this. This car will bring me back to the hobby!😀
I have an RC-10 and my two Tamiya kits in storage and I will be resurrecting them soon, maybe this year, but This will be my only new car. I've been watching other videos on this BBX and RC-10 and some are boring and uninformative. 😴🥱You taught me quite a lot about this car. Keep up the good work and thanks for not wasting my time. If there's one thing you can improve on the video, I would say its the sound quality. It seemed low and difficult to hear. 😀😀
One of the greatest comments for me so far, constructive critique and amazing feedback 🙏
Love the colour choice 👌 kinda wish i had gone orange with mine now 😎 its a great buggy 👌
cool of you to hook andy up with one
@@rexrcs yeah, knew he wanted one and need to shift mine as i had another buggy come up for sale 😁
I need one of these for my collection
Wow , this is really nice. Too nice to bash but looks like a tough machine.
this buggy is certainly a Modelers toy, very nicely designed to replicate a real world buggy instead of an rc buggy. thanks for stopping in 🙏
Hey Rex, you are right that this is different from other Tamiya’s 2WDs, I don’t expect it to be priced like a Kyosho Dirt Master but it is still pricey. They priced the re-re ThunderShot just right.. and that’s a 4WD. Anyways, price is subjective, you did an awesome job, looking absolutely gorgeous. 👍
the pricing seems off and drastically changes depending on where you are it seems, the US seems to have the best pricing (relative to pay) at just over $200
Glad you found a BBX, what a machine! Unfortunately, the estimated release date in my part of the world is September...
whats the pricing like where you are? its drasticaly ranging depending where you live it seems. i hope you gget it sooner 🙏
@@rexrcs It is priced around 319 GBP (545 CAD / 407 USD) but the better option is to order from Hong Kong where the price is only 217 GBP, the kit is ready to ship and will arrive in 2 days. Shipping is a very reasonable 17 GBP.
@@BlackSeaRC mine was less than $400 canadian
@@rexrcs That was a great price! For comparison, the re-re Fighting Buggy is being sold at 379 GBP.
In the UK with radio gear and batteries it’s £435 which converts to $735 Canadian Dollars.
It certainly wasnt $735 canadian, much much much less
Great video. I like the points you covered. I am thinking on getting one. I have no problem with anything about the buggy, perhaps not even the price, the shipping fees are steep though, but I have to admit, I haven't looked locally yet. Tamiya can be thin on the ground here in Aus. Oh yeah, buying most things sucks in Aus dollars.
I see that pricing drastically ranges depending on where you live. USA seems to have the best price (relative to pay) at just over $200. from what I am told, aus has crazy high prices, higher than canada even
@@rexrcs yeah, our dollar is kept low because we export a heap of commodities. Distance is an issue and there is a bit of price gouging going on.
That looks like it would be fun to race against the Astute 2022.
probably be fun to race anything! although this is more of a modelers style buggy, more scale design with chassis, other buggies are usually all similar race buggy tub chassis design
Looks awsome! what is the color code you have used. Thinking about going yellow too.
Your thoughts about the this chassis and your td4, which can be 2wd
Good detailed overview. That has the same gear box cover as the XV01? Shame it needs a low profile servo . Looks fantastic like the colour to mate 😊👍
i didnt even realixe the gear box and cover like ta06 and xv-01. thanks for stopping in! 🙏
@@rexrcs dunno about the gearbox but the cover looks the same . Very bendy 😂 so when u screw it on it bends outwards. I’ve looked and looked for a metal cover to no avail . Or even a solid plastic one 🤷♂️
I just seen it someone selling it for $120 sealed in box... hopefully I can run on over in the AM to pick it up
What?!?! GOOOO NOW!
The only problem with that Model is why did the company use the old design of a buggy it’s 2024 and still old school with modern upgraded parts, kudos to the alien key screws though
fully exposed rear shocks you spotted this right... I broke a shock cap very early 😅
Hey Rex! This video format was really good. Especially following up your fast build one. Quote of the week: "I want the shiny back"...
So, would you recommend a brushless set up ( for a civilian, not a racer ) in this model? If so, which? If not, a sport tuned maybe?
Cheers!
I would recommend a lower kv, , after running mine some more I think 10/5 (i had it laying around) is too much for the buggy, i shouldnt say too much, just more than needed. a 13.5 is good, if going bruched maybe torqu tuned with 27 tooth pinion?
@@rexrcs Noice! Sounds good. Thanks dude!
Subbed.. after building and running it .if you were to build one right now what would you do right off the rip as far as which motor, pinion and whatver elese you would change from what you first went with ...
Thanks
Hmmmm. Great question. I have now put in a 4000kv motor and the stock pinion gear back in. Thats what I wpuld recommend today, high kv motor with stock gearing
That’s cool…. I somehow knew it was the Bb01.
Its the same plastic they used on the TNX nitro truck, pl6a i think.
I'm new to the hobby🤗, what do you think on buying them pro built ready to run out the box,from tamiya?can everything still be upgraded and changed when you buy them like that?are they just as good as if you would build it yourself?great video👍
The only thing is they dont build with bearings, Id tear them down to install bearings, or get a kit to build myself. Otherwise yes they can be upgraded also, they are just built versions
Funny how the ball diff use to be a high end hop up, now the ta06 oil filled gear diff is the high end hop up for this chassis and other chassis as well.. it’s literally reversed
Yes, when i cam back to rc with a ball diff on carpet track i was looked at funny hahaha, i understand now, high grip calls for gear diff, loose calls for ball in ideal conditions, and nowadays theres so many high grip situations compared to before
@@rexrcs that’s true. I’m guessing because of lipo and brushless power is pushing cars harder.. way back in the early 2000s it was all about a rear smooth ball diff and front one-way for TC 🙌
I just picked one up from hobby hobby in streatsville for $329 cnd. The slipper was &75 way too expensive right now. with all the otter stuff I picked up I dropped $620 I had to stop somewhere. I do plan to upgrade it to the max down the road.
Honestly, it doesnt really need anything to be fun and capable, $620? How? Did you buy a radio system, batteries, an expensive servo and speed controller?
@@rexrcs car, new esc, motor, bat, tire glue new screwdriver set. Plus good old Canadian taxes. You know what it’s like trying to get out of a hobby shop with any money left.
@@kevinjhonson5925 🤣 i know very well indeed. I often use my rc batteries to spice up my kids ride ons lol
@@rexrcs I’m going to try that track at computer elite I drive by it all the time I’m about 40 min from it. I had no idea it was open to the public until recently.
@@kevinjhonson5925 yes, very reasonably priced, let me know when you go maybe I can make it also
Hey, was thinking on getting one of these or a kyosho turbo scorpion... if you had to choose one would you still go the tamiya?
Tough choice because i like them both for different reasons, im still currently testing the BBX, and it seems to suffer from understeer on loose surfaces for now. Tough choice indeed
In the BBX Manual Tamiya forgot 2 x MC7 Screws in Step 39, did you notice that
I did not, i will dbl check
Does a Traxxas or Axial slipper clutch work with this OR do you need a Tamiya one?
Im sure the material can be changed but I think the rest is proprietary
Going to pick your brain Rex ..I'm thinking Hobbywing 13.5 sensored motor, 10bl120 ESC...with a 25t pinion...will the ESC fit without the cover? Thoughts? Still waiting for mine to come in GGGGRRRRR
yes 13.5 is enough, 25 or more will be good for pinioon
not much room for esc with fan
@@rexrcs does an esc with fan fit tho?
Would you tell me what orange paint you used? Was it Tamiya Polycarbonate PS-24 Fluorescent Orange? Any tips for painting with that color? Thanks!
Ps-19 camel yellow. If you want it to stay bright, back with silver or white. For a stronger mustard color back with black.
Spray many coats lightly is better than few thick coats, thin coats also dry faster.
I always soak my paint cans in hot water 15min prior to painting, makes the paint come out nicer from the can. When youre almost done, spray the can upside down so the inner tube empties and less likely will have clogs in paint can for future
@@rexrcs Thanks!
Where’d you get the Martini decal for the front?
It came on a sticker sheet for some other car Ive done a long time ago, dont remember which one sorry. Mci has some
Any idea why I can’t find the yellow livery your car has anywhere?? All I see is the blue buggy😢
I used my own choice of paint, and many of my own decals
Prolly buy one state side and drive it back, save $100
Does it include the window netting?
Yes it includes a small sheet of netting
Super yucky that the TA06 transmission it comes with doesn't have a gear differential out of the box. I wouldn't bother trying to run the stock ball differential at all, the gear differential would be something I'd order with the kit.
Is it possible put a video camera on it? So I drive it like a real car
Im sure you could, lots of fpv setups available
Tamiya tried to make an RC10?
🤣
it's 400 dollar kit and they don't include the slipper clutch...sigh...
yeah...USA prices are nice
Using a word "toy".. well..meh
Over priced
Whats the price in your area? Ive seen around the world $220-$435.
@@rexrcs Im in Australia , they are around $500-$550 AUS D if you can get one .
@@diamond66ist thats too much
Im buying a BBX and making a modern version of a FAV
