- Man, oh man, is the Tamiya Super Sabre a sexy son of a rig! 4WD, spaceship meets '85 Toyota Camry body, and tires so knobby they'll knock you harder than your mom did when she caught you staying up late watching the "fuzzy/blurry channel" after everyone went to bed.
The cousin of the Boomerang, the Super Sabre boasts a pre-painted and trimmed silver body, red accents, and of course, a mono-shock up front. Fil's favorite!

Two great things about you, you love R/C and you love animals.
Great video!!!
Ralphie
Hey Ralphie, thanks for the excellent comment, my man! I really appreciate it. 👊🏼
Aww you have the best partner there for a long build. Shout out fellow cat dad! Good tip about the servo too.
Haha yeah my fuzz-ball helpers love joining me for a good build. They're especially good at chwing in decals, and going for naps in the kit box. 😴 🐈 🤣
Nice motor choice, approved!
Haha thanks pal! I think it looks pretty sharp in there. 🤩👌
Nice build and tips. it came out great! have a nice day
Thanks for watching, Joe! Oh, we need to sticker swap soon! Shoot me an email when you get a sec! Poorboysrc78@gmail.com
Sounds good!@@poorboysrc
Great video and build. Nice to see your helper grabbing a little camera time. 😊
Haha yeah she loves to help, especially during a new build! 🤣
Yeah! Am I really first!!!! Commenting as I watch, nice driver!!
Woo hoo!!! #1 comment, my man! 🎯🍻
I like the way your cat watches everything your are doing, it will be building one on it's own soon.
They love joining me in the hobby room, especially during a build. They'll spend the whole day up there with me sometimes. 🤣 🐈
I still feed from the box Fil when building! Iol old habits right! Great vid pal.
Right on pal, everyone has their own method, and that's what makes this hobby so great. Thanks for watching!
Ah, that was a very enjoyable build to watch, Fil! I do like the look of this buggy and the pre-cut and painted body is perfect for this time of year when spraying is hard to do! loved the tips thrown in along the way too, my man! It should run nicely with that motor, hope to see it running soon! Have an excellent day, dude! 😎👌👍
The pre cut and painted body makes me so happy, Mark. It's such a treat! No if Tamiya would only pre-cut the decals... Ah, maybe I'm asking too much? Lol!
Talk to you soon, brother! 👊🏼😉
What an awesome build. I really do need to get a few of these kits. It has been so long since I have built one!!! Yep cats are the best wrenching buddies!!!! Our two cats do the same, it only sucks when they see a part that they want to play with and run off with it or dump the screws on the floor!!!!🤣🤣🤣
My big cat likes to sleep on that same table I build on. He knocks stuff over, throws screws around, while the little one grabs the antenna straws and goes bananas with it! Lol! Too funny! 😂
Great build Fil. I like that you stopped for the crucial things and explained them. Time to get the buggy on the run
Thanks Dirk! We've got some horrible weather coming our way, so I don't think I'll be able to get the Super Sabre out for a while, unfortunately... :(
You do have things laid out, me just one bag in a pot at a time and rummage for plastic parts. Trouble is build so many Tamiya I do tend to miss little things. Nice motor but the stock pinion 🙂the shimming of the motor is why I think the Thunder series is better. So funny the cat wanting to join in with you, I had a cat like that. I have to say I love Tamiya futuristic body shells.
Yeah my fur-ball companions do love getting in on some new kit action, lol! Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
dude you are a riot. I did the eyeballs on the man in my 2016 Bigwig and I said the same thing this dude looks like higher than a kite.
Hahaha, welcome to the "we can't paint tiny eyeballs" RC channel! Lol! 🤣🤯
it is a great looking buggy and I am glad I am not the only one color coordinating motors and wiring! Yours does look a lot better with the RZ in there!
Hey, as long as we stand together, matching motors to cars, and color coordinating our RC's, we can't be defeated, right?!?! Hahaha! Cheers pal!
Enjoyed the build. I use to mud race a 4WD truck, I found that by running the front tires backwards helped with the steering. Just something you might want to try. Thanks keep the videos coming!!
Huh, that's very interesting! Thanks for the tip, and thanks for supporting my channel! 👊🏼😉
looks great,awesome build
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Love it!!
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Great build 😊 can’t wait to get mine done, hopefully this weekend
Ah right on, what are you going for in terms of motor/esc?
@@poorboysrc either RZ or Sport tune and a trustworthy HW1060. I’m also looking at putting in an Avante driver cockpit for something different if it fits. I’ve also got a set of the silver HS2 BH rims
Nice 👍 i do my builds a simular way, have a few tubs to tip the bags into. And a few extra to put things in that are needed in that step.
Right on. It's always interesting to see how others approach their builds.
Don't forget spare chassis's and bumpers if you drive it 😀😀😀
Haha, I know, right? Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Looks like a fun build, and the finished car looks great!
I don't have a SS yet but it's high on my shopping list.
I'm going away three weeks for work and plan to bring a Dynahead, a Boomerang and a NovaFox to build at the hotel.
Can't sit in the bar and drink beer all the time (i'm told) 🤔
That's one awesome build list! That'll definitely keep you out of the lobby bar, haha! Don't forget the bearings for the Dynahead! 🤣👊🏼
@@poorboysrc thank you!
I have all 76 😱 bearings and two servos. 👍
Probably cheaper to drink beer... 😁
Hi, you made the right choice by putting the 15 tooth pinion with that engine, previously with a 21 turn absima I had used a 17 tooth steel pinion but then I put the 15 aluminum pinion back, I think it's fine for these engines .
Yeah I find the old saying "under gear and over motor" to be a good rule of thumb. 🤗👍🏻
Fil, not even a minute in and your build process is freaking me out dude!! One bag at a time and everything stays in the box until needed…. What are you doing to me brother 🤪
I’ll post again once I have had a lie down in a dark room 😁
Edit - Looks awesome Fil! Love that RZ motor. It is going to rip pal 🙌🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Too funny, Craig! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hey, I had to ask what everyone's process was, and apparently we're on opposite ends of the bag opening spectrum. Lol!
Put on some Enya, grab a nice cup of tea and get the fire roaring. I'll do my best to not stress you out too much! Haha. 🤣👊🏼🍻
Great presentation Fil, a delight to follow along with!
I've said it before, but your cat is awesome..... it's obvious the bond you have.
It's weird how interested they always are when building a kit, all of mine have been that way.... Usually either sitting on the manual, or knocking the components everywhere with their tail!
A mild to moderate meth addiction.... Love it! 😂 😅 🤣
I have exactly the same issue, with the eyes, not the crystal!
I painted my 959 shelf queen's eyes at least ten times-
First he looked Chinese, then Downy, then like Frankenstein..... before eventually looking like he had consumed copious amounts of speed! 😂
Why is it so hard to do eye balls? 🤔
Anyway, Kudos to the superstock RZ..... possibly my favourite modern brushed motor!
27,000 rpm, loads of torque, great top end, and lay down brushes.
My weapon of choice in my turbo Optima, Top force, Top force evo, and RC10b6. 2.
Like you say, it's a perfect choice for many 4wd buggies.... that thing is going to shift man!
Also, couldn't agree more with the servo.... I got sick of many of the 6/7 kg servos not self centering under load, and now always fit a 20kg.
Its not worth cutting corners on the servo if you plan to run the model.
Was really impressed with how well Addams performed around the track, especially bearing in mind how old the design is, they look like a fun drive.
I'm guessing with all these new kits you have been building recently that you are secretly assessing their potential for next years speed run challenge? Or maybe the platform has already been decided?
Speaking to many of the other channels it seems it was the highlight of most peoples year last year.... and I would have to agree!
Looking forward to her first run mate, cheers for sharing! 👍 👍 👍
My furry friends love chillin' with me in the hobby room, it's so awesome! They make a mess, and wreck my stuff, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Glad to hear you're not on meth, hahaha. At least we're all in the same boat painting drivers 👀 lol! What a mess!
I've definitely got some ideas for the 2024 Speed Run Challenge, but not decided 100% on a chassis just yet. I've gotta keep throwing smoke at you guys so nobody picks up on any hints I may drop inadvertently. Lol! 💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc
Agreed fella, can't beat a good pussy.... Just feed them, give them a stroke and play with them and they will always pay you back ten fold!
😂 😅 🤣😸
Yep, my hard 'partying' days are pretty much done and dusted, favouring a few ciders and a little bit of tyre sniffing to fill the void now as I get older..... and of course this marvellous hobby helps keep me out of mischief.... well kind of! 😉
As for the speed run car.... I have a few potential candidates short listed in my head that you may go with.
I think part of the reason the last two were such a success is because they were cheap/basic/easily obtainable kits that didn't have the best handling in stock form!
They also both had a great source of hop ups and cheap spares available.
All I can say is it's a good job you're now a full time poor boy.... because if it's anywhere near as popular as last year you are going to have your work well and truly cut out! 😂
Have a great weekend Sir. 👍 👍 👍
Hey nice build, that looks great Fil! I do like this chassis. Cool that your cat got involved 😁 As to build method you are super neat compared to me. I just throw the bits into a tub and leave the parts trees in the kit box and just have a bit of a rummage on each step. Nice work on the build and the vid mate. Best wishes 😁
Thanks for watching, Pete! 👊🏼
Yeah, man, great video again, I enjoyed this a lot! It's not a kit that I am interested in, but I did hear a lot of good about it... Great idea with the higher powered servo, it's a good tip to include in a build video.
Yeah, the build process you asked about: I started doing something a bit different after I did the Kyosho Dirtmaster. So the last three kits, I have cut all plastic parts off the parts trees and put them in a bowl, and threw away all the extra plastic (it's a lot!)... The challenge is then to figure the shape of the pieces and compare to the manual and assemble it right, so far went alright that way... Apart from that, I'm really messy, I use up all the space on the living room table, ha ha!
Have a good one there, buddy, I am looking forward to your Durga videos!
Interesting process, Mads. I like how you explained it, just cut all the parts off and fishing for them in bowls, haha. That's awesome dude!
How do you like your Kyosho Dirtmaster? It looks like such a great buggy! 👍🏻
Nice with the RZ motor 😊 I usually open the box, use it to store the build and take one bag at a time; something I don't do, is building over the manual, too scared to smudge it 😅
Ah, very interesting... I make it mandatory to smudge every manual, lol! I even use the lids of the box to paint the body, so there's overspray in them. I have NO idea why, but I just do... Lol!
Sweet layout. I like the wrap around style work table. I'll eventually graduate to something like that for my hobby room. So, I've not build nearly close to as many as you, or some other YT rc peeps, but when I do build, I like to have all my tools and greases and hardware parts bags to one side, other tools and instruction manual to the other. Everything else I keep in the bottom half of the box on a tray beside me to access the parts trees etc. Cheers
Ah, very interesting. It's neat hearing about how other people approach their builds. Thanks for sharing. 👊🏼
I must get one of these. Done as number 26 cause that’s mine and Grayson’s birthday number.
Oh sweet, and the kit comes with both those numbers, too! 👌
Great job Fil 👍 I'm torn between the boomerang and super sabre 🤦🤷 if you could only have one what you pick mate 🤔😁
Thanks Mark! - You're asking a tough question... Haha. My money would be on the Super Sabre. I do prefer the very styled/angled body and the red/black/silver just looks incredible. Even better in person. I walked into my Hobby Room today and just stopped and stared at the Super Sabre... It's not common an RC can do that.
That coffee kick to start fair got you shifting thru that build!
Must try that myself.😂👍
Super Sabre turned out very nice.👌
I'm not nearly as well organized at building. Don't have any four legged furry fiends to help out either.
Yeah it was funny, when editing myself I thought "jeez, what the heck am I on???" Lol!
I love the build process, it's taken 30 years to develop it, but now that it's here, it's here to stay. Give it a whirl some time, it's very enjoyable! Even better with the furry friends. :)
The furry fiends in my neighborhood tend to leave unwanted packages on the racing line in my back garden. 🙈
I'll appreciate them from a distance, thank you! 😂
She looks great mate , I saw some where, that you can get a tt01/02 probshaft with hotshot cups for the car
Yeah I've heard some guys saying that, very interesting mod. I'm a cheap bugger, so I'll see how the coat hanger holds up, lol! 😆
@@poorboysrc 🤣🤣🤣🤣 almost a dutchy 😋🤣
I like this bugg I want one of these and it's brother the Boomerang. I'm going to Japan in April for work and grabbing a BBX at the big Tamiya store I'm Tokyo as here I still can't get one.
Oh man, you're gonna be like a kid in a candy store! Prepare your wallet for that trip! Lol! 🤣👊🏼
I ordered an upgraded prop shaft and cups I think they might be from a Hotshot.
Good call! I'm hoping I don't fold this coat hanger in half off my first big jump. Lol! 😆
Nice video. I was wondering why you didn’t use bearings the whole video until I got to the end. lol I would have waited to get them before the build or used them from another model at least for the gearbox lol
Yeah I hear ya pal! I was all set up to record, then realized... Wrong bearing kit!!! UGH!!! So I followed through with recording, and I'll drop the bearings in tomorrow (they just came in today!).
Thanks for watching!
Awesome car. Shame they come with the white wheels. Defo should come with the silver as per box art.
Yeah I agree, the silver is nicer. I've seen one guy that had aluminum wheels and they looked SO good! 😳
@@poorboysrc yeah I have the aluminium ones on my Hotshot 2 so will get another pair for this build too. Looks so much better.
@@Soney_Manic where did you get them? I agree, they look ridiculously good on these buggies!
My comment keeps getting deleted. Minsu Cho on face book does them. Also custom wheels. I had some Bigwig ones with mooncraft lettering done. Very nice
How many cat hairs did you get in your stickers? 😂
I don't even count anymore. Lol! 🤣🤣🤣
nice looking buggy! was wondering what do you do with your extra parts that come in the kits? do you keep them organized (ex. 3x10mm vs 3x8mm) and keep them all together from all the builds or do you put them back in bags and put them in the original boxes? give the cat some treats for all the help and support! also, nice to hear your wife enjoys R/C's. now to find a girlfriend with the same interest.
Great question! If the parts are vehicle-specific, I'll keep them in the box and store the box away (I keep all my boxes in my crawl-space).
As for the generic parts (screws, washers, etc...) I put them in my parts bin on the table. I have the drawers categorized (Tamiya, metric, imperial, etc...) so it's easy to find a screw when I need one.
As for the cats, they love being on camera and helping their cat-dad with a good build project. They're so awesome!
And my advice with the GF situation, you may be surprised how many of them actually enjoy RC. You just need to get that radio in their hands, and let them take the wheel. When I met my wife she would come down into my hobby room and be like "what the hell is all this???" -- I told her, this is me, this is WHAT I DO, and it's NOT going to change, lol! She heard the message loud and clear, and has been a supporter of my RC hobby since we met 8 years ago. :)
@@poorboysrc now..that's being what you call.."being awesome to each other." cheers bro.
@@garykee1 cheers pal! 🍻
Fil, I swear to Satan...you have the exact same setup as me. Only I have black mats instead of green. Bought the tables at Costco and put them in a L shape with my computer in the corner for manuals etc... Too kool brother. 👊🍺🍻The new logo is really good too.
Haha no way, that's too funny! Great minds... 🤣🤣🤣
I'm actually looking to get a darker color mat, too! The green gets so dirty so fast. I might have to copy your black mat idea! 🤔 👊🏼🍻
Yeah the black is great I highly recommend it, and since you lay your parts out on something bright like I do, you won't have to worry about seeing the parts. If you drop a tiny black screw on the black mat though... Well, hope you have good eyesight! btw, did you get the hamster I sent you? 🤣🤣🤣@@poorboysrc
@@roloreoandy9867 let's just say that if we drop a black screw, it's gone into the RC abyss forever. Lol!
The Hamster arrived safe and sound. I'm currently fattening him up for an extreme adventure! 🤣🤣🤣
@@poorboysrc So... you're going to feed it to the cat then? 🤣🤣🤣
Hi All. I just built one of these. Fun wow. But there is a bump in the front drive train which seems to be that the angle of the dog bone into its receiver is too great. It seems built to spec from box. If I raise axles it runs smooth.
Anybody experience this?
This is a very common occurrence in many Tamiya kits. If the suspension is at full droop (say resting on a bench) the dogbones bind in the drive cups, causing an awful vibration.
It will go away when the weight of the kit is placed on the ground. Don't worry, it's not just you, you didn't do anything wrong, haha. It's just part of "the Tamiya way." :)
Another great build
Great motor choice
But i'm concerned you put the cheese pinion on your fab motor. I hope you switch it to a hard one
Yeah you know what? I never think to get a steel pinion until it's too late... These alum/cheese ones just aren't up to the task, are they?
@@poorboysrc No those alu/cheese pinion will disintegrate with such a hot motor as early as after 1-2 run. For a silver can they last longer since it not got the power as your RZ
@@aviano72 Where do you get your .06 mod pinions from? I have a hard time finding them?
@@poorboysrc Whenever i order hop ups and other things i usually use RC Mart, they have all you need. And it takes 5 days before i get my order. (i'm in Norway)
RW Racing makes great ones but i can't order them after brexit :(
@@aviano72 ah, nice! I've used Rc Mart in the past, but their shipping to Canada these days is INSANE! I haven't bought from them for a few years now because of this. I'm not sure why it's so high, I can buy from other shops in China and Japan with no issue...
Mild to moderate crystal meth addiction..... 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, honestly, they look so bad! 😳😳😳😳
@poorboysrc I have seen some that look like they have just had something shoved where it don't fit but I only do black spots so at worst they are cross eyed 🤣🤣
@@dannyseville2543 Hahaha, so many dodgy drivers out there, pal! Then there's these guys that shade the skin tones, have veins in the eyes, and make them look like a HD photo... Ah, I wish I had that talent and patience.
Great video by the way, :)
This is my very first build, and RC car, but I couldn't help my self, but buy this Tamiya Super Sabre.
The question I had was. What do I need for this build???
I have a controller, 2 battery sticks, and a fast charger, but is there anything else I need to make it a smooth, great build on my first attempt
Great pick for a first RC! 4WD buggies are so versatile, you'll love it!
So you're going to need a good steering servo. I always recommend hitting up your local hobby shop first to see what they have in stock. You do not need to spend $100 on a servo, either. Brands like Injora, Power HD, etc. All make excellent waterproof (which is a must, IMO) servos in the $20 range. If your LHS doesn't have any, then Amazon is a good #2 choice.
Your controller should come with a receiver, so you're good to go there.
Did your Suoer Sabre kit come with a speed controller? Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. If not, I recommend the Hobbywing 1060 or 1080. 1060 is a bit cheaper, and has less functionality, but works really well. I use them in 80% of my RC's. Both are waterproof, too!
From there you should really co soder ball bearings. Tamiya gives you plastic bushings in every kit, which wear out fast, and can wreak havoc on your drivetrain. "Fast Eddy" brand bearings are pretty much the best bang for your buck out there. If you can't find a set for the Super Sabre, remember, the Boomerang is the exact same car, and I'm sure Fast Eddy will have a set for the Boomer.
And that's it! The body comes pre painted and trimmed, so no struggles there. Learn to drive it on the stock motor, and when you master that, look at maybe getting a Tamiya Super Stock BZ, or something similar for a little more speed.
Have fun with the build! If you get stuck, just email me at poorboysrc78@gmail.com 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc I've read somewhere that I will need a ESC
@@markproctor6264 have you opened the box yet?
@@poorboysrc still waiting on delivery. Just wanted everything there, so can get a good start
@@poorboysrc and can I ask one more thing. Witch Injora Servo do I need to get. There is a few different ones, :(
Is your cat trying to get some subscribers. 😮
She loves watching cat videos, so she figured she'd get some of her cat video followers to come watch me put decals on an RC buggy. 🤣🤣🤣
Such a great looking rear end on that buggy 🍑. My favorite variant of the Hotshot family, scream’s 80’s exotic sports car and everything that comes along with it 😂👍
Absolutely!!! Couldn't agree more! 🍑🍑🍑🤩🤩🤩
@@poorboysrc 😂👍
