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.
Thank you sir! Watching your videos brings me back to my childhood. I am to start my own boomerang restoration with my son during Christmas. It is also a 5855 1986 model that has been preserved in loft for 25 -30 years!! Just ordered new shell and original decals plus replacement battery cover otherwise everything else appears in order!!
Looks great ! Adding in the differences between the original and the re release would of been interesting to hear. Yeah I could Google it, but you pointing it out on video would be more entertaining 😁 The Boomerang is a great looking buggy, but never held my attention like the Hotshot . Can you give a hint of your rare project coming up? The suspense is killing me!
Donovan Gladden Hey, Thanks for your comments buddy I appreciate it, yes I need to add more detail to my videos. I can’t tell you the secret buggy yet lol, I won’t have it for another two weeks yet 😞
Awesome job. Want to get back into Tamiya RC,What do you think of this as a start to a small collection?. 1.Grassshopper. 2.Hornet. 3.Frog. 4.Terra Scorcher. 5.Hotshot.
Have you attempted putting the MIP ball diff in it yet?? Between building cats I'm doing a rebuild on my old boomerang with 4 shocks and just found the mip ball diff.
On my 1986 Boomerang, i do not have the amount of travel you do on your front steering. i have very little travel, is there an adjustment for this. How should i go about getting more turning radius?
FlyingAmbo They just have subtle differences and to be very honest I can’t remember with out checking 😂👊🏻. This one was pretty beat up and showing it’s age + it had the old MSC fitted.
