Always great with your chat, to accompany your unboxings, Mark! I think Rob's comments are hilarious sometimes, "No asbestos here", he he! It's a cool buggy! It's totally my style, but for some reason I've completely missed it, and probably won't manage to get me one anytime soon. But at least then I can watch it on RUclips, he he. Wonderful with these donations, what a great dude this RC Junkie!
Hi Mads, got to agree about Rob's comments, he has me in stitches most of the time! 😅 but yeah I think this buggy is totally you! Pity you missed it but I'll share mine with you on the Tube! It really is amazing the generosity of people in our little RC community ❤ and RC Junky is a great example! Definitely a great dude 👌 Cheers mate! 😎 🤝👍
I used to have the Super Astute I upgraded from the Astute, I used to race it back in 92 at the local club in Worcester at Perdiswell Leisure centre. It was a great car. I will get another one now I've started a collection.
Hi Gary, great to hear you are a seasoned Astute driver and are now building a collection! I hope you can get one of these lovely buggies again! Best of luck to you! 🤞😁👊👍
I love it Steve, yes an awesome donation and a fantastic buggy! Agreed, those neon stickers are going to look fab when it's finished! All the best - cheers! 🍻😎👍
Very cool channel donation and a nice unboxing especially opening up all the bags etc. Super astute ate capable buggy’s once you address a few things on them although it was a big improvement on the original astute. Looking forward to seeing yours. I have one to start building hopefully tomorrow, didn’t bother with an unboxing this time though. Good luck
Hi there Andy, always great to read you, fella! Thanks for the heads up! Awesome that you have got one too, I must keep an eye out for your videos about it so I can tap into your wisdom! Have fun with it my friend! 😎👊👍
What a beauty of a kit, Mark! Bearings, slipper, chassis under tray, this thing is gonna be a beast! Looking forward to the build, pal. The wife is, too. She loves watching the David Attenborough of RC! 😂👊🏼🍻
Oh yes pal, this kit has a lot going for it! Should be a real performer with that special motor in it too! I'll make sure to put my best talking voice on for Bre! Cheers my mate! 🍻😁👊👍
Super cool donation to the channel!!! You are going to enjoy building up this one Mark, it is a really nice kit. Just mind the small e-clips are for the shocks despite what the scale drawings indicate! LOL!
Thanks Addam and yes a wonderful donation from RC Junky!!! I absolutely 💯 love ❤ it! Don't worry pal, I have taken good heed of your sage advice 😉 This RC community we have here helps in so many ways! Thanks and all the best my friend! 🙏😎👍
I know Mark, I'm blown away by the generosity of RC Junky! Fingers and toes crossed you can save the pennies and get one as well 🤞🤞 All the best pal! 😁👊👍
Cracking donation, and a sweet kit. I had one a few years back but stupidly sold it on 😭 so hoping i can grab another before they all dissapear again for good 🤞
I was very lucky to get one for Christmas this year, I think this is the first video of this latest re-re of this kit. Not many videos out there so really looking forward to seeing this one
Hi Adrian, awesome that you got one of these beauties for Christmas! Have you built it yet? There are a few more videos of this kit popping up now but there won't be too many as it's a limited release! Enjoy your Super Astute! 😁👊👍
@@MarkBryanRC I did not realize how limited in number it was, feeling very lucky and blessed my wife bought me one. Yes I built the chassis last weekend, I was surprised how different it was from other Tamiya kits I have built in the past and how light it feels, its going to be a joy to drive
Your wife did the right ✅ thing for sure 👏 👌 Great to hear it went together nicely and from what I've heard this is one of the best handling RWD buggies! Fingers crossed 🤞
Lovely donation Mark, I look forward to your build, and now I urge for a donation of a sand scorcher kit for Mark to build, as for my personal taste it's a iconic tammy that really is so cool, I've owned two the first one was 42 years ago!!! Yes I'm an old fella, I do intend on building number three, anyway thanks for your upload mate 👍🙏🐱
Thanks a ton, Cat! 🐈 I think you can tell how I feel about this amazing donation! 😍 Oh yeah a Sand Scorcher is also a thing of beauty! As cool 😎 👌 as they come! If you had one 42 years ago then that must put us both at a similar age! I'm still trying to get used to being old though 😂 I hope you get around to build number 3 soon! Thanks for the chat and catch you later mate! 🍻😎🤝👍
Ooh yes what a smashing donation that is! Does look well specced as you say what with the slipper and planetary diff. I don't understand why planetary diffs aren't used more because it seems to me that they work better in that you aren't transferring the power through 90 degrees twice like with bevels and they would seem to be easier to make? Anyway this is one that I haven't got nostalgia for because it's from the era when I was out of the hobby but loving the late 80's/early 90's whacky graphics and the whole thing does look designed to race. Enjoy the build mate and wishing you a lovely weekend 😁👍👍
Oh yes Pete I'm so chuffed with this kit thanks to RC Junky! The spec is awesome as you say and I agree about the diff and how bevel gears waste a lot of power when transferring drive through 90 degrees. I would imagine this will be pretty nippy with the straight gears and that lovely motor I have! I missed this back in the 90's when it was released as the Astute. I may have to go box art to do those graphics justice! All the best mate and a lovely weekend to you too. Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Thats so great you got the awesome Astute (Super) 💯 It is one of my all time fav. Thanks to RC Junk!e Love that servo too. I put them in all my cars now. I buy them in bulk from Injora. Great motor choice too ! I used to race this back in 1990-91 so i know this car very well. Still have 3 originals and the 2018 version is still in it's box from 2019 😊 The downside it got nasty press nuts that might ruin the plastic. Unless you change them to some lock nuts
Hi Are and awesome to hear that you know this car so well! I think it may become one of my favourites too, all thanks to RC Junky! Also very cool to know you approve of my servo and motor choices! 😀 I will be sure to take a good look at those press nuts! Cheers my good friend! 🍻😎🤝👍
Back for another fix of ribbed tyre sniff magic! Haha good man! Hey what a beautiful buggy this is and so generous! Fantastic gift. l hope you actually go boxart! Those decals are poptastic!!!!! Have a smashing weekend guys. Great vid Mark and Rob, cheers James 🍻 😘👍
Oh you caught me James, sneaky second sniffing!!! 🤣It had to be done! I agree, it is a beautifully designed buggy and a massively generous gift. I think I will have to go with the white paint to do those stickers justice! Have a lovely weekend down there too, mate. Cheers! 🍻😁👍
Hey Mark, what a great gift indeed! The Super Astute does seem to be at first glance a slightly expensive, but taking another look at it, it does seem to be a good value kit, for the components. I too have purchased the TZ motor for a project, the states do suggest more torque for buggy use, might need to run it in though 😂😊😂 looking forward to seeing the finished RC, enjoy the build my friend. Hopefully, by the time you get the chassis built, the weather might improve in temperature to give you a fighting chance of spraying! Hey, you don’t look old enough for retirement just yet bud! Best wishes to you and the family 🤗😉🤗
Hi John and thanks for tuning in again! Yeah I think this buggy is well worth the price with all the goodies that came with it! Other folks have said the TZ is a good choice too! I have already run it in, it was very tight out of the box! I just smashed my thumb in the doorframe so it might be a while before I get started on this build 😅 All the best 👍 👌
Many thanks Sean and yes a very much appreciated and wonderful donation! I am looking forward to this one but I think I'll wait until weather warms up before running it! All the best! 😁👍
Nice unboxing there Mark, those tyres seem to be pretty addictive 😂. I'm hoping to pick one of these up when the next batch arrives later in the month, I wasn't originally going to get one but its grown on me. I may already have a few upgrades on the way!
Hi Tony hope all is well! Cheers pal, haha 😄 yeah I couldn't stop sniffing those tyres! I see from Facebook you are stocking up on the fancy bits! I reckon you will love this one Tony! 😍😁🤝
@@MarkBryanRC Good here thanks. Yes I've bought a few bits for as and when I can get a hold of a kit. I have the carbon bits and also a set of Universals and the metal replacement for the A1 part. Will look forward to getting the kit, I don't think I'll go with white for the main colour though.
Ribbed for pleasure?! Oh lordy!! I love the look of the Super Astute, I'd get one but I'm currently unemployed, maybe when I'm working again ;) Can't wait for the inevitable excellent build videos and some running footage!!
I just couldn't resist saying that, Barry! 🤣 Yeah it's a cracking looking buggy but a bit expensive really. Sorry to hear you are out of work, hope things pick up for you soon. All the best! 🤞😎👍
Isn't it just, pal?!?!?! I'm one lucky fella, that's for sure! We need a raise of about 15 degrees here before I'm going out RC running though mate! 😅 Cheers! 🍻😎👍
Ribbed and spiked for your pleasure!! O’er!!! Love this pal and can’t wait to watch your lovely build on this one. Get your bearings ready pal as there are loads in this one 😯
Gotta love a ribbed AND spiked one, Craig! 😅Same here pal, can't wait to get cracking on this one but with the weather we're having the first run might be a way off! Bearings ready to go mate! Cheers! 🍻😁👍
Great unboxing as usual matey! I took delivery of mine this week as well.....funnily enough,from the previously mentioned Time Tunnel models as it goes! Im suprised to hear so many people saying that its expensive.....i thought it was really reasonably priced,and would have happily paid lots more to get this one in the collection. Sooo many goodies in there for the money,and such an icon. I had to laugh when you went straight to the tyres,thats exactly what i did when i opened mine!!😂 A very pungent,and highly unusual blend of eighties permanent marker pens,and nineties columbian marching powder!😅 Robs "no asbestos" dig at Traxarse had me in stitches!😅 No Traxxas here either! Soooo glad that you are finally getting to experience the almighty superstock motors..... They are awesome,and my weapon of choice in pretty much everything these days! They are far quicker than what you would expect ftom a 23 turn brushed,they sound superb,and look amazing! TZ is the perfect choice for this kit.....im calling 30 mph on 2s on this one!! 😉 Only downside of this kit is the pesky Evil clips......but at the same time,they do bring about a certain sense of vintage nostalgia to the build,so we can turn a blind eye to them just this once. Very much looking forward to the build videos on this one mate!😊 👍 👍
Thanks once again for a fantastic comment, James! Great to hear you got one in the bag! Good old Time Tunnel! Yeah, I agree when you look at the specs the kit is absolutely worth the price... Agree about the tyres, definitely permanent marker vibes! Rob cracks me up with his comments all the time mate, what is he like?!?!?! 😂 Glad to hear you approve of my choice of motor for this beauty. 30mph would be just dandy! 😁👍 I must be the only one who doesn't mind the evil clips - or have I spoken too soon?!??! Cheers my friend and all the best to you! 🍻😎👊👍
I built one of these cars on the last re-release. It is a fun and simple build. The spur gear sticks out really far from the motor plate. It looks wrong but that is how it is supposed to be. When you build the car you will see what I mean. Thoughts?
Thanks for the info Alfred! Much appreciated 🙏 I have just injured my thumb so won't be able to build for a while 😬 I will give you my thoughts when I finally get the build videos done though. Cheers 😎 👍 🍻
Wicked, Mark! I got mine delivered this week and it’s a thing of beauty. I’ve always loved the 90s vivid colours, looks ace! What ESC do you think you’ll be using? I am not sure on the setup for mine yet, maybe the BZ like you’ve got, but no idea on the controller yet (and I really need to get into a Lipo setup, I feel!) Willl you be doing a build video on this? Hope so! 🤞
Nice one! Great to hear you got one as well! Definitely a thing of beauty from the wheels up! I'll probably slap a Tamiya or Hobbywing 1060 in it to go with the TZ motor and LiPo, should be fast enough! I will certainly be doing a build guide but I have the Tyrrell to do first! Cheers! 🍻😁👍
Hi Mark, I really want one of these too! Will you be tempted to ball-race all those suspension 'hinge pins' like the original Astute (think that's true, or was it just a hop-up?) I will if I can get one, modern touring car ideas 30 yrs ago, I love it! :)
Hi Ben, don't blame you for wanting one, it's a lovely kit! But no, I don't think the suspension pivots really need ball races. Not sure if the original Astute had them or not 🤔 Anyway, fingers crossed that you can get one! 🤞All the best 👍 😎👊
Where did you buy that superstock tz motor as i recently sold brand new one last month on ebay £34 free postage. Is exactly same spec as the bz im sure 99%
Wonderful buggy. Too bad it's very expensive and very fragile. Spares are expensive for what they are and the kit is limited therefore the parts are too.
@@MarkBryanRC Yes, the hard plastics will crack eventually. It can be modded but takes a lot of work. I have two cars and lots of spares. First drive and the steering rack cracked after a little bump and a hop. Lower arms alone are over 20€! Some new plastic parts might already have a thin crack on them. Ofc you can get printed parts but it's not worth it. Using some of the alu parts just shifts forces. Great car if you drive it carefully and now and then.
I've not heard of a limited run, I could be wrong though. My local hobby shop has said that they'll have plenty in stock, spares also. As for price, as long as it's not stupid money like over £400 that's fine with me. I've heard to expect a price of around £350 which is fine.
Cant wait for the Test drive now Mark. Youve got us on the hook kid☘️🤙👏👏👏👏
Thanks a ton Seamas! 🙏 Same here, this is going to be exciting I think! 🤩 All the best pal! 😎👊👍
Watched the unboxing while walking the dog this morning, your chat was a pleasure treat for starting the day. Thanks.
Hi and many thanks for the kind comment 😊 I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it! Hope the rest of your day is a good one too! 🤞😎👍
Oh the ribbed and spiked tires are sweet looking , good for the sand

What ESC do you think you’ll be using? I am not sure on the setup for mine yet, maybe the BZ like you’ve got, but no idea on the controller yet (and I really need to get into a Lipo setup, I feel!)
Willl you be doing a build video on this? Hope so! 🤞
Nice one! Great to hear you got one as well! Definitely a thing of beauty from the wheels up! I'll probably slap a Tamiya or Hobbywing 1060 in it to go with the TZ motor and LiPo, should be fast enough! I will certainly be doing a build guide but I have the Tyrrell to do first! Cheers! 🍻😁👍
Awesome kit I'm starting to see these kits all over the place. Did they just get rereleased?
Thanks Kev, yes I agree it's awesome! And yes it has just been re-re-released! Cheers! 🍻😎👍
@MarkBryanRC Ahh I see I don't know much about them truthfully.
No worries Kevin, ask Bob I'm sure he knows a lot about it, that guy is an encyclopedia!!!
@@MarkBryanRC I'm calling him right now.
Hi Mark, I really want one of these too! Will you be tempted to ball-race all those suspension 'hinge pins' like the original Astute (think that's true, or was it just a hop-up?)
I will if I can get one, modern touring car ideas 30 yrs ago, I love it! :)
Hi Ben, don't blame you for wanting one, it's a lovely kit! But no, I don't think the suspension pivots really need ball races. Not sure if the original Astute had them or not 🤔 Anyway, fingers crossed that you can get one! 🤞All the best 👍 😎👊
Ribbed for pleasure.. LMAO!!!! You gotta turn it inside out, feels better!!!!
Haha! Well you know me, Bob, it just slips out! Inside out!!! 🤣👍
Where did you buy that superstock tz motor as i recently sold brand new one last month on ebay £34 free postage. Is exactly same spec as the bz im sure 99%
I got the TZ from Amazon for £33. The specs say its 22000 revs and the BZ is 23000 revs.
First!!!
Gold medal award goes to Uncle Bob! 🥇 Where is Paul?!?!?!? 😅👊👍
@@MarkBryanRC I was dropping a video at the same time (well close to it) when your popped up, I was already on RUclips so all I did was click on it..
@@UncleBobsRC A case of right place, right time then! 😁😁👍👍
@@MarkBryanRC LOL
Looks an awesome buggy mark👍Started the blitzer build today too.I have some of them cut ribs on a set of wheels for my dt03 they are decent.
How much are these and is it worth it atl?
They are about 240 mate but I think it's worth it for what you get 😉 👍
Wonderful buggy. Too bad it's very expensive and very fragile. Spares are expensive for what they are and the kit is limited therefore the parts are too.
Hi Kalle! Great to read you! Oh, it's fragile?!?!?! Gonna have to drive very carefully then! 😅 Cheers! 🍻😎👍
@@MarkBryanRC Yes, the hard plastics will crack eventually. It can be modded but takes a lot of work. I have two cars and lots of spares. First drive and the steering rack cracked after a little bump and a hop. Lower arms alone are over 20€! Some new plastic parts might already have a thin crack on them. Ofc you can get printed parts but it's not worth it. Using some of the alu parts just shifts forces. Great car if you drive it carefully and now and then.
@@GTMatukka Many thanks for coming back and leaving some much appreciated advice, Kalle! I will be sure to take note! Best wishes mate!
@@MarkBryanRC This car goes to the "peeps won't mention the weak spots" -class, just like the DB-01's notorious maintenance. BLACK! BLACK!
I've not heard of a limited run, I could be wrong though. My local hobby shop has said that they'll have plenty in stock, spares also.
As for price, as long as it's not stupid money like over £400 that's fine with me. I've heard to expect a price of around £350 which is fine.
The package 📦 arrived at two very nice sympathetic guys, so everything went right !! 🙂🚗💕👌🏻🫡
Hey Ralf that's very kind of you to say! Thank you! 🙏😁👊👍
