A couple legendary RC's right there, pal. That Lancia Rally is a thing of beauty! And the Manta Ray, no matter what people say, I think it's stunning! One of the finest of the Tamiya Character Car lineup!
I couldn’t agree with you more! It is a beauty and one I always wanted as a kid. If I could have had one of those back in the day I would have been untouchable in the street!!!
Awesome car Craig. The Carson ESC's pretty close to the beloved 1060, do you get better motor limits for upgrading. Like the Lancia, too. But wouldn't dare to run it with all the nice details.😂
As you know Dirk I can’t help myself but run these RCs!! I cannot wait to get them built up and smashing round the Orchard!! RC Birds draw mug will be back in action next season pal 😁
I am glad the Manta Ray thing worked out, it was not going to be as exciting without the decals on it! LOL! You will love that one on the track, it is my new favorite one for me! The Lancia should be a fun build. I have never been keen on the looks of them but I did not grow up with them so that probably has a lot to do with it. Have fun building the both of them and I hope the weather cooperates and you can get the MR out for a drive, I think you are going to enjoy that one!
Hey Addam, I was really frustrated off camera after filming that!! I didn’t want the hassle of sending it back and it is getting so hard to find a Manta Ray again! I am hoping to get started on it this evening all things well and good! The Lancia was a rally car I grew up watching and I love that it is a hard shell. Can’t wait to build that up but it is probably a few builds down the list at the moment. The OR is looking a bit wet so we might not see a full run until the spring now! I am keen to see how it compares to the TFEvo!
What a great score, well, after the discount from the Manta Ray at least! You know I have both of these kits and I can tell you that you will definitely love both of them! But I have to tell you my friend, I think you got a bit of a poblem with the tyre sniffing... I think I counted at least eight seperate sniffs on thos one video. Sorry to say, that's definitely an addiction, pal! Great idea for the rally-off at the OR. You know I'll be tuning in for THAT! Cheers brother! 🍻😎👍
😂🤣 Love a good tyre sniff bud!! I know you love these models and I will be following along with Mark when I build them both pal. Not sure when I am going to tackle them yet as I have a few projects on the go at the moment!! You were right about that Lancia kit though! Great value for money that one 🙌🏻
Ooh Craig, a double whammy unboxing video from you, i am super-impressed 👍 How about a beautiful shade of Tamiya Silver to match the chrome wheels for the Lancia or possibly Gun Metal to match the darker grey parts for the chassis. Either colour would look ace with the Martini stickers 👍 I would have just painted it in Lunchbox Yellow 😆😝🤣
😂🤣 I am looking for some inspiration Peter!! I am thinking of doing the Manta Ray in a metallic blue or maybe black. The Lancia I am undecided at the moment. Perhaps yellow is a good choice!
Well,that certainly worked in your favour mate! Great unboxing and tire toots.....BMX shop from the eighties was the perfect analogy,i can smell it now! Two awesome models there,your guna love the TAO2 chassis.....it drives so well,and that body is gorgeous!❤ Im still trying to source a new chassis for my BMW 318i TAO2 to complete the restoration .....already bought a new body and decals,but finding a new chassis is impossible! If Tamiya dont re re any TAO2s soon i may have to buy a whole kit just for the new chassis!😂 So good to know the kits are still available! Looking very much forward to the rally content mate. Great video!😊👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC cheers James! I have been on the fence with the Lancia for a while and then finding one at a cheeky price I could not resist! It looks like it is going to be a great kit and I am sure it will look good when I start working in some more rally content. The Manta Ray has been on the cards for a while. I missed out on a few the other year as it was one of those models from back in the day that I loved. I was gutted as I missed the initial run on the rerelease but now there is one coming to the fleet 😁 It will go well in next years OR I am sure of it! Good luck with the TA02 hunt pal. You might just have to get a full kit? Would the Manta Ray chassis not work??
@@theoagrc Glad you managed to get the cars you wanted mate,its always nice to tick some off the want list. As for chassis,they are slightly different mate,they are different widths,and the manta ray has the honey comb inside. They would fit,but it wouldnt be correct.....and that would really bug me!! I get quite anal over my restorations!😂 👍 👍
Thanks bud! The 037 was one I wanted for ages but just never got round to pulling the trigger. It is going to be a fun build and a chassis I can’t wait to rally!
Thats a bit rubbish to just send out a return kit ? But sounds like it worked out for you in the end 😁 that lancia is sexy, it was on my list to santa last year. I got the Audi quattro instead. But that was my second choice 😂 looking forward to seeing the rally cars out on the track 👍
Thanks Richard! I was really frustrated by the whole decals issue but actually is has worked out for the best in the end. The Lancia is going to be a really fun build and I am looking forward to getting into that one. I am really enjoying building some rally cars at the moment 😁
Hey Paul, Addam was on it this morning!! You did but I managed to score one in the UK at a great price! Super nice looking chassis and I love the design on this one. The Lancia is very similar but with that cool hard body shell 😎
Hello,
Nice Vlog,was interesting thumbs up from me, have a nice day!🍀
Greetings from Seven🖖
Thanks Seven! Glad you enjoyed my musings 😁

The smell of a BMX shop! Love it!
Cheers pal 🙌🏻 It was the best 😁

@theoagrc nice announcement😉
Nicely done Craig! That Manta Ray looks like a great kit at an attractive price!👍😊
It really was a great price Jeremy! I am looking forward to getting it built and out on the Orchard 😁

What a combo!! Great additions! Too bad about the decals, but you got it sorted! Looking forward to seeing the Lancia together! Cheers
Cheers Mauzy! Thankfully those decals can still be sourced!! The Lancia is going to be great and look good against the other rally cars 😎
nice rc cars, can't wait to see these run on the road
Thanks pal! I am looking forward to getting them built and out on the track

You were right about that Lancia kit though! Great value for money that one 🙌🏻
Great video, buddy!! Shhh... Santa will be giving me the Manta Ray I bought this year.
🤘🏻 Yeah dude 🎅🏻
Nice Unboxing, Craig. A bit of a bummer on the Manta Ray, but all in all not a bad deal 👍🤝
I will get them sorted out Gabriel! Decals are on the way and then the fun can commence 😁
Bloomin heck these Manta Rays are popular at the moment! Bezos owes you
I made him pay!!! Manta Ray was a great price! I hope Tamiya can give us a few more priced up like that!

Nice new additions to your fleet Craig! Too bad that Manta Ray decals is missing. Hope the retailer makes it right somehow.
I got them to put it right Sean! Decals are inbound 😁 The Manta Ray is a Tamiya classic and I can’t wait to build it
@ its an excellent chassis. You’re going to love it.👍😁
Well,that certainly worked in your favour mate!

Wow! An 037 kit for that price makes it all better 👍 ..curious to see how it does on the course👀

@@theoagrc Same!

@ win win 😁 if santa dont get me one, i may have to treat myself in the new year 😂
Some proper kits ! Much better than RTR shit
I hope it was not Yodel that delivered the Manta R to you😂
Awesome tyre sniff 😁
Nice to know I am giving the kit guys what they want to see 🙌🏻 Can’t beat a good tyre sniff 😁
Addam beat me. Not my morning!
Hey ,Didn't I tell you about that sale a couple weeks ago!
Hey Paul, Addam was on it this morning!! You did but I managed to score one in the UK at a great price! Super nice looking chassis and I love the design on this one. The Lancia is very similar but with that cool hard body shell 😎
Great rc cars 🤗
Thanks Luke 🙌🏻
