- In this video I unbox and build the Tamiya Rising Fighter (Item No. 58416) released in 2008. I also swap the standard 540 motor included with the kit for a Tamiya Super Stock BZ motor, and I also use full ball bearings in the car during the build. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching.

Yep! At 7:10 I said turn the receiver on, I meant Transmitter. 🤪
Thinking of getting one of these for my son as a first build for him and me I have to say.
This one is perfect for a first kit. Easy to assemble and you don't even need to paint it as the body is moulded in blue. Grab a set of ball bearings for it before the build though as the plastic bushings are just awful! 😁👍
Order placed and bearings added to order.. looking forward to Christmas day. 👍👍
@@jasonwells9976 Good stuff! I know your son will love it. Enjoy the build! 👍
No wonder they called it the "rising" fighter... just look at that ride height!
Great work, she looks a real treat.
It is quite high. Usually I'd think that's good for a buggy but I think in this case it will just make it more unstable than other "hoppers". Will see I guess.
Thanks mate! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed No worries!
Nice shirt 🤘
Very good Job it looks like a red arrow but a blue one
I bought one of these for my nephew for Christmas, still haven’t build it yet but figured it would be a good starter buggy for a 4 yr old .
You're an awesome uncle, Eric. I think it will be a great first buggy! 👍
Don't worry about that roof sticker... the first god tumble and it is going to get messed up anyways! I just built mine last week and that was the first thing to get messed up! The first scratch is always the toughest!!!
Oh yeah, I hear ya but I do like them to look good when they're first built. Not really sure why though, it only leads to heartache... After that first hit, it's all ON! 😁👍
Perfect video! I love it. Driver is also well done. Funny it's like he has a 360 degrees moustache. Imagine you are new to the hobby, this kit is perfect, cheap and lots of value.
Thanks mate! Haha, not my best work of the driver. His eyes are very ordinary too lol. For sure, this one is perfect for the beginner! 👍
Your videos keep popping up on my feed!! 😊😎
Good basic bit of Kit. I want one, but again, MODS! That Rear end is jacked up TOO high!!! 😵 Don't know what Tamiya was thinking... But I do like that Gearbox better than the Hopper. Much better Diff!
Lol well I'm glad you watch them.
It's a "hopper", it's really a waste of time trying to make it handle good. I just enjoy them for what they are! They're really just designed to be fun for the beginner. Of course Tamiya could have done a lot to make it handle well (basically build another car l😂) but that would also put the price up, which would kind of defeat the purpose of the car. 🤷♂️
I just bought my 2 boys a Grasshopper and Grasshopper II. I was going to go the Hornet route as my machine, but after looking into the Rising Fighter and the current low cost, it got me thinking otherwise on the Hornet. I think this video sealed the deal on my choice to get the RF! Thanks for a great video and for helping me make a decision. 😎🤘🏼
That's great, Zack! I can see there's gonna be some family racing going on, awesome! The Rising Fighter will be a great match for the Grasshopper and Grasshopper II. You guys are gonna have great fun! 👍
"You can either paint it or not paint it.......Whatever". I love the attitude. You simply don't give a sh#t. Thumbs up for awesome contents.
Haha, thanks mate! 😁👍
@@RCHobbyShed Love your contents, man. So different attitude compared to the other build channels !!
@@00seismic38 Thanks mate, I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I do my best to be myself on camera. I'm the same person off camera, except I swear a lot. 😂
I see some guys carry on like they're a game show host or on playschool 🤮. Just why? I don't get it. 🤦♂️
Anyway, thanks for the comments. I appreciate the great feedback. 👍
That buggy looks like it’s ready to flip itself over for no particular reason. Awesome vid as always.
I think you're right there too, I can see it staying on it's wheels too long either. Thanks! 🙂👍
@@RCHobbyShed ... its wheels ... 😉
@@SpeccyMan Very good! 👏👏🙄
I also typed can instead of can't too. Didn't notice that, did ya! 🤣
@@RCHobbyShed Can't say I did. 😁😁
Looking forward to the bouncy video! Boing! :)
Haha, that's exactly how it will be too. 😁👍
Top job, Mick! Should fly with that motor and a LiPo! I have a 21T motor in mine and it's quick enough - a great cheap little basher that's as tough as nails, the handling is crap but it's a ton of fun, I'm sure it will put a smile on your face as soon as you are allowed out to run it. Another great build video, Mick, hang in there and all the best from Mark in the UK! :O)
Thanks Mark. Yeah I think it should be fun. Haha yeah no doubt it will handle like a bag of sh*t but that's half the fun of these hopper style beasts. They're talking about extending the lockdown past Thursday, I guess we'll wait and see. I have a few more kits to build if they keep us locked up for months lol. Thanks mate. Cheers! 🙂👍
@@RCHobbyShed Oh mate, I hope it's not too long until you are free again! Fingers crossed!
@@MarkBryanRC Thanks mate, hope it’s soon! 👍
You can't beat the Rising Fighter for a starter kit! These were on sale a couple weeks ago for around $75 and I couldn't resist getting another one. I'm thinking about doing a Grasshopper theme, either a Rising Hopper or Grass Fighter :)
They are a great starter kit for beginners. Oh nice, a Grasshopper theme would look great! Grass Fighter has a nice ring to it. 👍
Great little build episode nice one 👌
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂👍
Sweet little hopper kit, turned out really nice. Will be fun to se how it runs with that BZ motor and a 2s Lipo.
Thanks mate. Yeah I think it will be fun on 2s! 😁👍
very cool my friend👊😎🤟👍🇬🇧😊
Thanks Leon! 🙂👍
Nice work Mick , I enjoy these builds , this really looks good. Think it should go well to with the electrics you used. Very enjoyable video, thanks mate.
Thanks mate. Agreed, I think it should be fun. If it isn't then maybe brushless! 😁. Glad you enjoyed it mate! 👍
The idea of watching, was to find out 1 the kit 2 performance out the box.
This car reminds me of my Jet hoppers I use to have ...
I think so too, they are very similar looking. 👍
✌🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Very Nice for a basic Kit its come up looking great Mick, and im sure that motor will be Cruising on a 2S lipo , that chassis is a little similar to the fighter rx the way the rear couples up to the chassis just the shocks are spaced a little different, yes defiantly will be looking for the running video on this little hot setup, and i agree they could leave more motor visible for cooling as well as a better visual for the Tamiya super stock Motors :-)), Great Video Here Mick .
Thanks Andrew. Yeah I think it came up looking good. Should be a bit of fun to run it, yeah 2s will help for sure. I guess the way they made the gearbox made it a little more solid, but I wish they'd have left the motor more exposed. Almost a waste of time putting a nice motor in if it can't be seen! lol. Glad you enjoyed the video mate! 👍
I swear Nikko "borrowed" Tamiyas homework when they created the Bison F10 buggy. The layout looks very similar. Think the Grasshopper is a similar design chassis as well.
Oh yeah, there was a lot of copying going on back then. Well, no different now I guess. A lot of the older toy grade cars are very similar to hobby grade in looks, only smaller and cheaper. The Taiyo Jet Racer 4wd, AKA Metro Bullet for example. It's like a Boomerang and a Bigwig had a baby. 😂👍
Yes Nikko did hate to put a butt here Nico was my favorite toy brand they also their cars are in most respects semi hobby grade and they did make some hobby grade ones they were my favorite toy brand company for RC I had plenty of their cars I wish they would re-release all the old ones that were so popular.
As the public knows lockdowns are useless makes things worse.
Great looking buggy. I never seen an antenna in rear. I'd love to build that buggy!
Thanks mate. Yeah, Tamiya finally put the antenna in a better location. 😂
I think you'd love it mate, I can see you would go brushless and 3s. 😁💪👍
@@RCHobbyShed LOL it would do wheelies all the time!
@@jdpasl 🤣👍
another great video brotha! hey,if you don't mind me asking, what are those jeeps up on the shelf i seen when you were painting the driver??
G'day Bill. Those are Marui cars. CJ-7 Golden Eagle's and Toyota Land Cruiser's. Some of my old favorites. 👍
Do you recommend the hd3001hk servo. These days where everyone puts in digital metal gears? Is it just good enough for non racers or do you feel the difference even for 'simple fun' drives.
Most standard servos will be fine if you're just driving for a bit of fun, especially in a buggy like this one. If you've not used a high speed servo before you might not even notice how slow a standard servo is. I usually use standard type servos in these "hopper" style buggies and never have any issue with them. I say go for it! 👍
Thanks, Ill definitely try one. I have a t3-01 waiting for build. Maybe it be an interesting candidate.
What have you used to hold the ESC wires. Is it in the kit?
I just cut down a wide cable tie (not in the kit), made a loop and drilled a hole through it. 👍
I've been going with core RC brushed motors. 21 turn in my cat xls. 15 turn in my Traxxas bandit. And another 21 turn in my still to be built kyosho turbo scorpion... At around $20 are nicely priced.. metro hobbies in Melbourne stock them. Not sure if stocked in other shops in Oz.
I have seen those Core motors, they look pretty good for the money. I believe they have a 15t as well, great bang for the buck! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed recently got that 15 turn version for the secondhand Traxxas bandit I bought. Stock gearing though. May go higher in gearing. once I know what temps it runs at..
Jessica, the Core RC 15t motor has an inbuilt cooling fan built into the can and it runs without any overheating problems. I run 15t's I most of my builds and they are a reliable motor. 👍
Fun things these Mick and so cheap but very cheerful too but tamiya should of called it a Grasshopper 3 though!😉 I had mine down the beach a while back and it was a hoot the thing blasts about nicely on the damp sand! I use a 21t motor and its pleanty fast enough! I didn't go box art l actually did do a Grasshopper 3 theme just to be different! I chopped up some hopper decals and messed about with them and slapped them on and it looks pretty good! Its in my tamiyaclub showroom!😉
I know its a buggy more for beginners and kids but its actually nice to drive something without a care and the thing can take a bit of welly and its fun! and that's what its all about at the end of the day! Great vid again mate👍cheers James.
Oh yeah should be a fun little beast for the dollars. I agree mate, Grasshopper 3 would have been a better name and maybe in the classic colours. I checked out your Rising Fighter on Tamiyaclub, even left a comment. Look at me go ay! lol. I very rarely go on there, so every time is like the first time. 😂
That's right mate, sometimes it's good to do a simple build. I like running the hoppers, bad handling and all, it's just plain fun!
Thanks mate! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed lol you have one friend now mate on your tamiyaclub acount!😉 l left you a reply comment back too on my RF page👍Yeah its a good club but its not quite the club it was some years ago but l still have several rc buddies left on there so keep my foot in the door!
Thanks for the comment too Mick👍 and yeah the RF is a fun thing to bash about with no worries how badly you treat it or drive it! Just fun with no strings!
I am looking forward to the next beach trip but folk everywhere again now! I think l will have to get up very early but not too early lol😬. Cheers Mick keep the great vids going😎👍
@@mad-beerc3818 Woohoo! lol
I'll go check it out.
I guess facebook and YT hasn't been good for the group, it would have been very active before all the social media came along.
No probs mate, excellent location for running it.
I know what you mean about having to get up early to miss the people. I guess it's same for you, but over here even getting up early doesn't work as all the dog walkers are out lol
Thanks mate, will do! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed lol yeah if only we could have our own private beach now that would be great!
Mick l was late to the YT party to be honest but very true what you say and for sure the club is not the beast it once was! But in all fairness I am really happy I got involved with YT l do really enjoy the stuff all you guys do on YT etc and you can see all the guys I am subscribed to proves that! People like you are keeping the hobby out there and gives guys like me another way to stay in touch with like minded individuals regarding the Hobby!
We do have a couple of clubs down here near ish to me but its all modern stuff! The closest vintage clubs or events are way up country!
So yeah its great to be able to be involved and to see lots of interest is still out there for the best hobby in the world😉👍
All the best mate.
@@mad-beerc3818 Oh yeah It would be nice to have a lot of land and a beach would be a bonus. We need to win the lotto I think lol. I remember there was a few groups around like Tamiya Club, I was never really active on any of them but would go for a look every now and then. Yeah it's all quite different now, and I've met a bunch of great people like yourself on these platforms. I often wonder what the next thing will be, I'm sure YT, FB and Insta probably won't be around forever. Same for me mate, most clubs are on the other side of the city. The closer ones are still a 1 hour drive in heavy traffic. Always searching for good spots to run cars and buggies... It's never ending lol
Oh yeah, I agree mate it's a great hobby!
Take it easy mate. 👍
Can I get the part number for your Gens Ace Lipo pack? Does it fit in this chassis?
My Gens Ace pack is the GA2S-4000-45C-H, BUT it doesn't actually fit, so I'll be using something else too!
Maybe with a low profile servo it may be ok. The battery itself does fit in but there's not enough room for the wires. I wrestled with mine for 5 minutes before deciding it wasn't worth the effort. I think I'll just use a small 2200mah 2s LiPo until I find one that fits better.
These cars are much better if you use shorter cvas on the rear as it gets rid of that awful stance. Also grab one of the chassis braces on from ampro
Do they suggest to paint the body?
They tell you what colour to use but they don't really suggest it either way.
Hey bud. With the Tamiya motors. With the paperwork /manual it mentions with continuous running change from plastic bearings to metal bearings or something. Any ideas?
Hi Matt. I hadn't actually noticed that in the papers. I guess they're saying since they're a hotter motor it's best to use ball bearings in the car instead of the plastic/metal bushings. Plastic bearings especially tend to wear extremely quick and can sometimes melt depending on how fast your motor is. It's always best to use ball bearings when you build your car, they're quite cheap these days and the car will run much smoother. Hope this helps. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed yeah for a pimped motor you'd think they would install bearings. Then again who doesn't want to walk around with a bottle, needle and oil and lubricate things before a run!
Hey do you think this thing handles better than the original hornet and what shocks can I buy fourth of friction campers I assume the TRFbut those cost a lot does anybody make a blue shock that will fit those that are oil filled?
I think it will handle much the same as a Hornet, maybe a little worse because it's quite high off the ground. Have a look at some Chinese shocks on ebay. I don't know the names of their brands, but they have plenty of oil filled alloy shock that will fit, and much cheaper than TRF shocks.
The sizes you'll need are 70mm for the front and 90mm for the rear. I measured them from the centre of each mount hole. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed with oil filled dampers would it handle better than a hornet?
@@bradkalman2353 Possibly. Neither will ever handle great though, it's just not in their design. It will be a little less bouncy with the oil shocks, but the unsprung weight in the rear (which causes it to bounce on the tires) will always be there.
@@RCHobbyShed hey do you think the CVA shocks from the new fighter Buggy RX would fit that and how much would they be? And you think the Gray colored shocks would look good on it?
@@RCHobbyShed you have to admit the first two fighter buggy rxs especially the second one probably handle the best of the newer hoppers.
That wheelbase looks shorter than a fighter buggy RX.
You Done a Magnificent build and nice attention to detail mate!.
That motor looks sexy!
Good to see you using a stick radio!, Goes with the old school Tamiya theme👌.
A bit of Aussie engenuity with the custom motor test stand🇦🇺.
The Wild One in the background🤤My favourite!.
Mate that white cabinetry really makes the rc's stand out perfectly, it looks like an rc parking station at your place.
Who's the Gerbil Gobbler that gave this a thumbs down!.
After seeing your video I'd buy one, can't wait to see it running mate👌🦘🇦🇺
Thanks mate!
Oh yeah it's a nice looking motor, it's a shame it's mostly hidden in this buggy.
I like that 2HR, it's great to use and no frills. I use that one when I want feel like I'm in the 80's 😂.
Haha yeah, I usually hold everything to the bench with double sided tape but I got lazy.
Love the Wild One, I had new a vintage one years ago that I sold so to fill the void I got this new built rere.
Thanks, I wanted it to look like a nice display. I'd love glass cabinets like a hobby store but this will have to do me, at least for now.
I wish I new who that dirty Gerbil Gobbler is. Been going on for a long time now, obviously a subscriber and I'm guessing another channel because who else would feel they're gaining something from it? I just yawn and move on, at least I get their view! 😂
I think it should be a bit of fun, it's gonna bounce all over the shop but that's half the fun with these "hopper" style buggies.
Cheers mate! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed
Yeh I noticed in the past video's you used double sided tape, now this, I keep learning new tricks, thanks for sharing👍.
Imagine glass cabinets!, I'll keep dreaming lol. I have a few on a shelf with a beige wall but doesn't do anything to make them stand out, I reckon whites the best I've seen.
Yeh I don't get the thumbs down thing, if a person doesn't like something just move on,Yep I'd bet it's another channel too.
I've never given a thumbs down in my life.
I like that buggy, never was interested in it before but I'm going to get one, it a classic looking buggy.
@@outbackrcaustralia4895 No probs mate. I'm glad you get some ideas from my videos.
I've always dreamed of glass cabinets, but first I'm gonna need a big house lol.
I have the LED's under each shelf which really helps, when they're turned off it's very dark and gloomy. If you add LED's it will make a huge difference to your shelves.
Yeah the thumb down comes and goes, they hit 5 in a row then go away for a week or two then hit a few more videos. It's been going on for well over a year, so it's somebody with an agenda. Whatever their agenda is they're failing at it though, after all this time I'm still not going anywhere. Especially while they're butthurt about my channel, I'll just make more and more videos🤣.
It does have that classic look about it, no doubt the handling will be very classic too! 😂
How old is this kid the one I saw is going to have the same speed controller.
It was released in 2008. 👍
And yet I can still buy a brand new inbox kit at my hobby store so are they still making the kit?
@@bradkalman2353 I don't know if they're still making it. Mine was all stock. 👍
Really? Super Stock BZ into this? You must make video, the motor will rip it to the parts. 😄😄😄
Haha, nah it will be fine. It's only a 23t motor. Should be fun! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed It will be fun, we must see it.
My one didn’t come with a receiver
That's right, they don't come with a receiver or servo. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed oh thanks bro I was getting confused 😂
@@lifeislonely3809 All good mate! 😁👍
@@RCHobbyShed 😁😁
I can get this buggy for like 94 US dollars at my hobby store.
That seems like a reasonable price. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed I like to be able to email you because I really would like to know what the length of shocks are on again of the rising fighter if things go according to plan I will be buying that kit too after I get the grasshopper to black edition.
Tamiya lost its touch on this one. Looks like a shitty turbo hopper from tyco
I agree, it is very toy looking. 👍
Tra le più brutte Tamiya mai create
Yeah it's not the best looking Tamiya! 🤣👍
