Growing up with Tamiya plastic kits with plastic bushings and friction dampers the transition to Kyosho, Yokomo, and Associated was light night and day.
All I have to see Kyosho/ Chain drive and I get my "O" face on. But dude, oh man, " you don't get this on Tamiya Legends" Tore me up! HOWLING was getting my lunch ready for my all nighter shift. Pretty sure the neighbors heard cacklin. Oh Mercy! That chassis! That's a STUNNER. But,... We need to add some T-Shirt to R/C Kicks merch Gavin, scratch the chassis. Today I scratched the chassis. Wanna see my scratches? (Picture of underside of RC car.) I love Tamiya Legends. I found him on a link you posted I believe. So about that Fiat Abrath 1000.
We don’t have any place to run pan cars. I used to have the Kyosho Buick Stocker that had a similar floating rear pod to the CRC but it had a plastic chassis similar to the Tamiya Frog which made it quite durable bashing around
Ordered a couple of the carbon chassis kits for my own car builds. Car looked great, I also have the same concerns regarding painting the body shell fins and not flooding them with paint and getting runs 😢
@@RCKickschannel It might be airbrush time. And there is a learning curve, but your painting really good and might be time to get one and use a scrap body or a waste basket and just start learning. Don't let it frustrate or intimidate you own it. Like learning anything.
Darn it I wasn’t meant to be spending any more money on my Fantom Gold Edition! That H2RD carbon chassis just looks so darn good I’ve had to push the button on it. I’m blaming you, although it has to be said it’s great value for money compared with the alternatives ❤️
Good choice and for the money its so much less than the Kyosho version. FYI it's not a nightmare to swap out the full chassis once built, so if you fancy building it but don't want to hold out for the carbon chassis, you can.
You can probably use a brush to get into those fins. Spray a few light coats first then spray some paint into the lid and get in there with a brush. Is it just the angle or does the drive chain rub across the top of the battery holder?
Yep, the chain rubs on the top deck and the battery. This is by design and you have hard low friction plastic stickers that you mount on the battery and the top deck. Works well but looks strange at first

You win the comment of the week award! Congratulations. 👆🤣 The more I think about this comment, the more it opens up my mind to a totally new human dimension. 🤯
The carbon makes the car so much nicer so most would want the upgrade. You keep the stock chassis obviously and it's easy to revert it to stock like I did with my other Fantom CRC-II that I sold.

Ouch burn! I like tamiya legends
Love your content,
especially when you totally burn Glen.
That chassis is gorgeous, like an RC slot car!
While I have one Kyosho kit for every ten Tamiyas, I will have to admit this is typical Kyosho; absolute perfection, right out of the box.
HahaI love that there is a little price tag on the box, just like in the 80’s 😂😊❤️❣️👍
Thanks for getting this one on the show Gavin, I was debating whether to get one or not. I now know the answer. What a beautiful car!
My pleasure!
Had one as a kid, must say, the design aged well!
Lovely simple design and a pleasure to build and drive.
That is gorgeous. Wow.
I think this is a prime example of 'Sod the body, it ruins it'
I'm more of a buggy fan, but that is 🔥🔥🔥
Lovely work Gav 👍
100%. I did see someone mount the car in the deep frame next to the body. It looked fab
Simply stunning!

So about that Fiat Abrath 1000.
Hi Gav I painted my fandom body with tamiya ps42 first and then ps13 it came out perfect just like box art
How to manage the wing/fin section, any tips. Was also thinking translucent orange backed with silver could work.
Was about to pop til you changed the song abruptly 😄
Yep, you’re not wrong about this car it’s stunning - facts is facts!
Got both to build as well, can’t wait 😊
Everytime i order a Kyosho re-re I whine about the price. But then you start to build it and every piece is just so beautifully made.
Dash ESC in Gold is Perfect..
That looks amazing!
What a stunner 👌👌👌👌
Classy, Gav. 😉
Hey I needed four rolls after that reveal ❤
If it helps I have a few Savox gold case servos, some are burnt out but look new so it's if for a shelf then your welcome to have one
Put a servo on the steering wheel on the sand rale that would be cool 😂😂👍👍👍
Saucy video Gav 🇺🇲 🇬🇧

Ok so second watch - love this video Gav!!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Gavin take your Kyosho ESC to a Local Plateing company I am sure they would match the gold on the motor to plate ESC.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's going to be a challenge thats for sure

mmm those alloy wheels look familer😏 😏
Fwoooooahhh
That’s the kit the guy owns.
Wow, that chassis is a thing of beauty. I will be strong and not get one though....

Also Hobbywing xr10 pro is a nice small esc there is a 1s and a 2s version not sure on the size difference
Its a looker allright 😎 i am supprised they didnt include the carbon parts. It is an anniversary edition after all 🤔
@@MyFart21 so it looks better on the shelf 😂
Power HD make a servo full metal case with gold accents
Well done Gavin, i think you need to detox a few days now from RC, just kidding, i think you want more kits like that.....
This is what my comment a few months ago was about. I’d hoped you got one and added all the dings and 🗣️💨s. Looks championed. ✨🏆🎥🏆✨🫡🫵
I’m confused with that one, what stops the chain cutting through the carbon fibre?
A plastic protective strip. The tension isn’t strong on the carbon
Don't worry Gavin, You can put the bog rolls back in your bathroom, I didn't shit myself watching the video.
Heheheh
It's a shame they used the old Kyosho chain drive 🤦♂️ Beautiful car great design but the chain drive should have been a belt IMHO 🤷♂️
Will the chain rub the chassis the whole time?
Yep that’s how it’s designed. You get some low friction armour tape to apply. Sounds bonkers but it works well
@@RCKickschannel sounds really bonker, but as long as it works it's fine. I've never seen something like this before, that's why i wondered.
That Kyosho Fantom was very nice, but it's not much for what you're paying for it. Each to their own I suppose....
20 too 30
What red sandrail rc is this? Thanks

Bro bro ..rc porn ..mate you give great content and a good funny every now again..cheers mate
I really want one of these but I want one to be rally-esq because I have only rough roads around me and no tracks. You think that’s possible?
😅 THAT'S LIKE TAKING A FERRARI TO THE DIRT BIKE TRACK... IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK...
Big tires@@whattheheckmars3448
What is a ball diff vs a gear diff?

Gav just looked at hrd chassis is it not more expensive??
Way cheaper, I just placed an order after seeing Gavins video and all the parts shipped to the UK for £53
The price was in HKD in the video.
That chain is incredibly dumb 😂
Looks dumb like you say but I'm amazed how well it actually functions.
That poor instruction manual. It will never open the same again
Heheheh
It’s tiny!! I don’t understand why they couldn’t have included the carbon chassis for the price!! Lovely piece of kit tho ❤
Should have really
Waffles are a breakfast food here in the United States so the fact that you call yourself that sounds strange! 🤷🏻♂️
Try this one out. When someone is being stupid, say “ You’re a right spanner”
Why are you doing the editing? Is Charlie OK? 😂
He put his fee up too much, so we can’t afford him currently.
🚬
4:12 shots fired at Tamiya Legends.. why lol 😮😮😮
I’m sure that Gav and Glenn are good friends and it was just in jest 😂
how’s this guy making masturbation jokes 30 seconds after his daughter is on screen
You win the comment of the week award! Congratulations. 👆🤣 The more I think about this comment, the more it opens up my mind to a totally new human dimension. 🤯
Well that’s one way to demonetise your channel 🤣
LOL
hello doesn't changing to carbon etc take it away from being collectable. or do you keep all the original bits in the box to keep the original stuff?
The carbon makes the car so much nicer so most would want the upgrade. You keep the stock chassis obviously and it's easy to revert it to stock like I did with my other Fantom CRC-II that I sold.
