I massively cocked-up when applying the mirror decals on the tail, had them on upside down. Just here to tell you that if you're extremely careful and have a steady hand, you can (just about) remove them and reapply.
The Avante is a little more fun to build but the Egress is a nice easy build experience that’s for sure and it’s not a frustrating build in anyway. If you get the chance to build one I would recommend it. 👍🏻
That soundtrack to the chassis build was so 80s my blazer spontaneously turned pastel pink and its sleeves rolled themselves up to my elbows of their own accord.
I mean, the Egress wasn't exactly cheap when it first came out. It was around $300-some dollars (I can't find an exact price because when I look up "Egress original release price USD" Google keeps giving me store links for the rerelease), which adjusting for inflation would have put it above $800 of today's dollars, so _technically_ the rerelease is cheaper than the original. Problem is, buying power hasn't kept up with inflation, so while the rerelease's price is lower than the original, it makes a bigger dent in the pocketbook.

Hi Gavin! Yeah I’m a box art guy BUT… I think you really knocked it outta the park with the gun metal! Really looks nice! Me personally I’m going to pass on this one as I’m waiting for the hotshot 2 in its original form. Not a blockhead guy and I’m hoping they do the OG version of it as well like they did with the wild one. Do you think we will get a OG version of the HS 2? Thanks!

I think your colour choice is better, im still not sold on it. I was all ready to get one. Then you hear about the fact its not really special. So think i’ll grab an Avante black 😎
Looks nice in the gun metal :) I’m going with a twist on mine as well with the paint job when it finally arrives, it’s been on a journey ;) looking forward to the build as I’ve never built it had an egress before as usually there not on my radar, personally and so far I think it looks as good as a normal egress . Nice work :)
I think the original Egress looks better. Such a shame, they could have done so much better with it. Black with gold stickers and pink wheels, oh and a unique motor.

Hello, do you still scratch the body on inside before you paint. I saw you doing this in another video. Didn't understand what you were using to scratch though. Also do you use water to place stickers ? I've seen others do this. Would you do a few layers of gun metal then white and finish with gun metal ? Cheers
Yes I use a kitchen green scourer to key the body but GO EASY! If you do it too hard you can see it when painted. It's just a light key. I sometimes use water to fit decals yes. If you are painting a body with gun metal then no, I would just put a good 5-7 layers down and that will do.
Best vintage RC for box presentation, lovely build experience, part quality, vintage looks, vintage racing relevance, driving ability and reliability would be the Kyosho Turbo Optima.
Man I finally walked into the hobbyshop today and there is was lol. I started it tonight gonna do it like original. Mci decals are ordered lol. Oh I hear that tamiya just discontinued this? 🤔🤷♂️
Yes the price did feel expensive for what you got and I’m sure it had an impact on price. I’ve seen some deals around that make it a bit more reasonable
Interesting that they added the window masks for this version; the standard one just uses decals for the windows, so I had to make my own masks. It would look too much like the VQS in black; especially in my case as I dyed my VQS wheels rit "frost grey", which looks exactly like those wheels.
Another thumbs up on the color choice. There's too much of a good thing. Every R/C car can look nice in black. But after awhile all you have is black cars. Gotta break it up with some other parts of the palette. Like those rally cars that are grounds for a nervous breakdown.😜

I know it’s a right pain. I remove as many as I can but it’s not long before more pop up. The scammers are bloody obvious to be blunt so most people just report them now thankfully as it helps. I’ve talked about them in a few of my videos. The thing it’s this is happening more and more on RUclips. It’s Gavin, not Rick 😜
Hopefully somebody does this car box art, so we can see how it looks. You let me down Gav 😕. Adam do the windows right please. The whole point of this car was to look different from the original Egress! To paint it any other way is pointless.

It’s really a gorgeous car! Hun metal was the way to go!
" Hun Metal?" No its PS23, not MP40 ;) You see what I did! Not just a pretty face Ladies and Gentlemen. That's got to be worth a subscribe? :)
@@RCKickschannel got to love texting with cold sausage fingers! What ever that color is, it’s fantastic!😂
I have painted several rcs Tamiya PS23! Such a good color
I left the under tray clear to see that lovely chassis 👍
Yep I did that on my XLS. Also I’ve seen people paint around the carbon chassis on the under tray as well.
Absolutely love how you show each step with the respective diagram from the manual. Thanks Gavin!

The gunmetal colour really suits the build. Looks awesome!
Ended up not building mine as they rereleased the original. Kept my black one as NIB to appreciate the kit.
Same. I just look at it in the box lol. I need to build it though
You did it justice by painting it gunmetal gray. Everything just goes so well together.
If the Avante is the best Tamiya build buggy, then the Egress comes in really close. Look at that carbon chassis! 😍
The Avante is a little more fun to build but the Egress is a nice easy build experience that’s for sure and it’s not a frustrating build in anyway. If you get the chance to build one I would recommend it. 👍🏻

Agree it’s great built. Nice to see a twist on Box Art Gavin 😊
I like the color twist you did! It nicely goes with the rims!
Thanks :)
Looks awesome really like the colour 👍👍🤩🏅 I wish it a bit cheaper though 😊.. may still try and pick one up maybe if they come down a little
I would think you might see some discounts, especially in the US. If you are in the UK this is less lightly unfortunately.
Great color choice 👍🏻
Thank you 🤗
Turned out gorgeous 😊❤️👍
Thank you Jonas! 😊
Will tamya finally go away from plastic gears, and giving o-rings instead of bearings and screws for a Phillips screwdriver ???
I bought the Avante black edition since I did not have an Avante in the collection. But, I did not open it yet.
Congratulations 👍🏻
Gevin, you are the right person to ask, do you think Tamiya will come up with Anate 2001 Rere??
I don’t see why not.
That color with the blue stripes looks super cool👍 and they match the wheels perfect. Don't change a thing. And maybe add some tire writing.
I love if they would release the HILUX monster racer.

Nice. I painted my Avante Black Special in gunmetal and it looks great on the "black" cars.
You make very nice video’s this is no exception 👍. Keep up the good work 👌
Thank you very much DD!
Cool build, like the gunmetal, I have an Avante in that colour. I’m in the middle of restoring an Egress atm, jeeze it takes a lot of bearings.
I'm a huge fan of Tamiya but they need to get their act together and start making these premium price kits with hex screws. Love your channel
The Japanese really love their jis screws! Because of that I don't mind lol
I enjoy my dumborc x6p. I get receivers for

Gun metal is my favorite too. Good match with the decals. Looks great.

I like it in that grey. Top Job!
Another great building video. This will be definately the reference for building an Egress. Thanks Gavin 👍

Thanks Andy. A good build experience to be had for sure.
Go box art! No one else has for some reason 😕.
Black shell and neon yellow wheels would look pretty great or a mirror finish body 🤪
I think the original Egress looks better. Such a shame, they could have done so much better with it. Black with gold stickers and pink wheels, oh and a unique motor.
I agree more could have been done with this one for sure.
@@RCKickschannel I meant Tamiya could have done more, not you Gav, you’re awesome and gun metal was a great choice 👍🏻
For the price they should have put metal drive gear in and not plastic
I sooooo regret selling my 'standard' NIB Egress... silly boy!
Love the gun metal. Looks great
I would think we will see a reissue of the normal Egress at some point.
@@RCKickschannel i really hope so. At the time it was the best decision though
Great Build Gavin

@@RCKickschannel Fantastic! Can you fit a Javelin roll cage(body) on a turbo optima instead?
@@ioskaioska5166 Yes I think so.

Congratulations on getting yourself one. I don't have any info on it being discontinued already.
@@RCKickschannel yeah that's the word on the streets ova here. 🤷♂️🤔
Now I under stand the price!
I think the Egress price isn’t as bad outside of the UK but the UK price is hard to justify.
Can this addition run a brushless sensored motor 13.5t ? Or is transmission too old ? Thx
Should be OK if you go easy.
Still with the Phillips head and flat head screws? Wow for the money those should of been titanium hex head screws.
Yes the price did feel expensive for what you got and I’m sure it had an impact on price. I’ve seen some deals around that make it a bit more reasonable

Beautiful looking buggy Gavin. I wonder if the black wheels would work with it?? 🤔
Well that ended abruptly...
B.b.b.but its a Black edition not a gunmetal edition
Any kit can be a black edition, its called PS5 paint ;)
nice but this car is not a vintage or a rerelease because they never had this model back in the days so it should be class as a new model.
A colour change isn’t really a new model as no new parts have been created over the decal sheet.
