I turned 50, 7 years ago so I treat myself regularly now to make up for all those years. Definitely getting that 87 ultima to go with the optima mid 60th. I just need to find time to sit down and build!!! Thanks for sharing Gavin 👍
Just got one .its such a nice truck on rolling hills and low profile grass and hard pack dirt .so many buy these and dont understand these are scale drivers not bashers ..I keep mine immaculate like all my R/C cars ..Just got back into it a year ago i am up to 40 new cars vintage and current ..
@@lauracolesanti3419 i’ve had mine a while i’ve still not used it been upgrading a few bits and adding scale i will only be running on 4s when i do get to use it lol
So glad i follow you so i know what cars to buy my Fiance .He turned 50 10/27 i got him a Tamiya Sand scorcher and Optima Mid 60th .I was wondering if i should get him the Yokomo Yz-10 and the Schumacher procat classic for christmas or some other recomendations .he has 40 cars and i think 9 kits to build .running out of ideas .got Sand scorcher ,Avante black, egress black ,top force evo and Td04 still unbuilt then has optima mid and mid 60th and laser sb unbuilt .any ideas ..he has ultima and optima gold ,tomahawk built .thanks sorry for the rant !!
Oh and I will be getting a Super Astute for sure.( For some reason the prices are actually GREAT here in Australia) FINALLY something not $800+. So happy they are doing it as prices for them are completely stupid, and I mean if I get a car I wanna build it!
@@perfectsplit5515 Tamiya has been including ESC's in their re releases. I have a Subaru Impreza running brushless without issue. I used the Tamiya Aluminum Propeller Shaft, Hi Speed Gear, Ball Diffs Front and Rear and Motor Mount. And a few other Tamiya Mods and it runs fine. I also have a Monster Beetle Re Release running brushless with the Mip Ball Diff. It can pop wheelies lol. You have to look at the options in the back of the manual and plan accordingly for what you want to do. Stock or Brushless with option parts to handle it. We just need Tamiya to release it.
Yep, same as me, 50 in Oct :(! LOL If you are going vintage racing a Cougar is great as is the Kyosho Ultima JJ. For a build experience, the kyosho Optima Turbo is best in class. An icon vintage build in the Tamiya Avante but its not a great RC to drive vs others but OK in the garden.
Happy birthday to you too Gav, I have various vintage including 2x Hotshots and 1 3/4 Porsche 959 (the 3/4 being new old stock) the newest being a Baja Champ)
Well as much as i love the new ultima, its gonna have to wait for me, allready pre orderd the jammin jay rc10, the super astute is on my hit list. And still waiting to see if schumacher drop a xmas special. But if i smash in some overtime. I may be able to get the new ultima 🤔
I don't have the JJ or the special Mid... but I do have a Turbo Optima and the normal Ultima, been looking to get another Ultima to use with a Tomahawk body, but the Ultima kits haven't been in stock at my usual sources.... I may just have to get this kit!!! But I'd do away with the wheels and use the 2.2 Turbo Scorpion wheels or some other 2.2 wheels , and not be doing the Teal color most likely ... As for RC10, I don't have any yet, looked at the Fan RC kits, amd might do one of those eventually, or might use Fan and AE parts to restore an old RC10 if I can score one for a good price... Kyosho really did a great job with the Legendary Series so far, and I hope they keep em coming... Cheers
The body is going to be a separate item, as the holes and cut lines are going to be different. Whether it's a different shape... Doesn't look to be, although it seems to be cut fairly shallow compared to the Mid Worlds. I found it easier to pick a close colour for my Mid WC and just paint the wheels in that colour as well. I used Absima Mint-Green.
I do have a Legendary series Ultima, might see about getting the bodyshell like the new one to make mine look at least similar as I can't afford the whole car....
Right I've just seen and bought a super Astute from this conversation I didn't know you can get one UK your looking at a design classic that can take a 15double
Thanks for the news. Not interested in both, my wallet is happy. Waiting impatiently for the Turbo Ultima and TOMS... 😉 Tamiya dropped the 956 on grp.C 1/10, that's already not bad (+ an awaited batch of Super Astute) 🤔
I don’t have an ultima so will probably be getting this over the optima pro for Christmas. Was considering a super astute given the prices have dropped but mehhh I don’t know. RC10s don’t do it for me something about the way they look puts me off. Oh no I forgot about the Yokomo dogfighter!
IT's still not the UlTIMA PRO or the ULTIMA PRO XL, it's a different version of the re re Ultima from a while ago.... If they start like that....what's next?
@@perfectsplit5515 totally different chassis - but I think it’s milking it doing it the same way in this turquoise color. Bit more originality would have been nice
Lets hava a vote rckicks what is everyones favourite Tamiya kit rc. We send a message to Tamiya hes still well and alive. I kick off, Super Astute 90's With schumacher tyres I can beat ...Dont ask for a 959 they will charge $800 for a piece of 1mm glass and thats just the gears
I'd like to win the minty green Optima Mid Pro. I've got some Tamiya models but no Kyosho yet, and I've already got shoes with minty green laces that would match it, but don't really match any of my other models :(
I would also love to see Team Losi put the JRXT AND JRX2 back out. I have a Junior T is my basement that has never been run. I think they missed the target with the Mini Versions. They were legendary as they came out and dominated against all of the Buggy to Truck conversions that were out there. They were the reason the RC10T was born and the Stealth Transmission. Wish Traxxas would revive The Blue Eagle or Blue Eagle Ls. Would also like to see the Tamiya King Cab and Hi Lux come back with upgrades.
lol MAYBE for a present for yourself. People will be wanting the chassis for their Turbo Ultima's I feel even tho no good pics of it it appears to be a bit darker. I'll have to pass on this I think. I want something actually different as in maybe a Ultima 2 series car or a Pro would be sweet. I have a JJ and I have a brand new Turbo Ultima (which I find to on par to be the best looking 2WD.)
Right ok this is Tamiyas greatest and what we want to complete our dreams ok the 956 someone said, the 959 you can never drive this car the technigold should be taken out immediately. Trust me I had a Celica grb. Right the Astute, super Astute, Dyna Storm these are Tamiyas best racing machines maybe they raced a Lazer zx. Never a topcat. Tamiya will never go racing TRF but they did start the hobby respect
They realized plenty of 80s/90s kids have money and yearn for a slice of their childhood. But then again modern 2w buggies suck for other reasons. The Ult does look good though. -U10
Why won’t Kyosho bring back the Sideways it’s on the Ultima Chassis. They are clueless. Bring back the Big Brute, Double Dare and Hi Rider Vette. Tamiya and Team Associated gets it that why they have been successful. Bring back classics that people want. Also the original USA 1 on the Double Dare chassis and Nitro USA 1 on the Burns/ Inferno chassis and not the mad force chassis. Jmo.
Nothing left for tamiya to re-release 🤷♂️ they already brought out al the best stuff. Tamiya is crap in comparison too other brands anyways. My thoughts only haha 😛
@@RCKickschannel yes but this looks like a desperate attempt to milk re-res. How about an actual NEW re-re? And BTW, I have 87 kits in my collection so I’m pretty close to the ideal customer.
I finally "understood" this body, it's theone of the Optima Pro cut differently, I find that this cut and these colors don't suit it at all, it seems to want to imitate a turbo ultima body without being one!
As they describe it, it's the 87 World's spec with all the options that Kyosho team drivers used on their Ultimas at the event, including the fibre reinforced upper deck and bronze countersunk chassis. The only difference between those cars and this is that this has the Optima Mid body instead of the Tomahawk bodies they used back then.
Can you buy Lee pains in the US and do you have a part number?
I turned 50, 7 years ago so I treat myself regularly now to make up for all those years. Definitely getting that 87 ultima to go with the optima mid 60th. I just need to find time to sit down and build!!! Thanks for sharing Gavin 👍
I pre-ordered RC10 Jay Halsey Edition more than a month ago and it finally shipped.
I just picked 1 up today. looks cool.
i’m turning 52 this year just before christmas so i’m getting a traxxas udr i’ve been after one for ages yes mate
Me 2, would LOVE a UDR!
@@RCKickschannel i’ve got the mojave 6s and that’s a real beast of a thing i’ve been after the traxxas udr for ages im hopefully getting it very soon

I am 52 and have pre- ordered the Jay Halsey RC10 yesterday...😂
Can that paint by purchased in the US? Seems to be so many better paint options elsewhere
A bombshell would be Kyosho making a currently competitive buggy. Another re-release is predictable and expected.
when its available i ll order one- for me one of the most desired Ultima next to the Ultima XL...
Na for xmass im waiting for the tamiya group c Porsche 956
So glad i follow you so i know what cars to buy my Fiance .He turned 50 10/27 i got him a Tamiya Sand scorcher and Optima Mid 60th .I was wondering if i should get him the Yokomo Yz-10 and the Schumacher procat classic for christmas or some other recomendations .he has 40 cars and i think 9 kits to build .running out of ideas .got Sand scorcher ,Avante black, egress black ,top force evo and Td04 still unbuilt then has optima mid and mid 60th and laser sb unbuilt .any ideas ..he has ultima and optima gold ,tomahawk built .thanks sorry for the rant !!
Could you tell me were can you buy the correct colour paint as I will be ordering the ultima
Oh and I will be getting a Super Astute for sure.( For some reason the prices are actually GREAT here in Australia) FINALLY something not $800+. So happy they are doing it as prices for them are completely stupid, and I mean if I get a car I wanna build it!
Yep the Super Astute price is really good in the UK as well
I'm waiting for the Kyosho Triumph
Me 2
I’ve planned on winning the JJ Ultima in the Raffall so I’ll only need to buy the RC10 😉
Good luck.
I can dream on too 😂
Awesome! Where can I get that premixed color for the WC?
I was really hoping for a Cougar 2 release by xmas.
I’ll be getting both/all/yes…. Take my money Kyosho and Associated!
Same lol
And Tamiya please bring back the Porsche 959!
Could the MSC of the Tamiya Porsche 959 handle the high current of modified motors?
@@perfectsplit5515 MSC's barely handled the current of stock motors... and ESC's are cheap.

what happened to the re-edition of the audi r8r
No clue. It was announced by Tamiya but hasn't hit the stores.
Not buying any of them but waiting to pick up the originals that have gone down in price because of the re releases 😂
For Christmas I just want Iosi Minnie monster truck
I do have a Legendary series Ultima, might see about getting the bodyshell like the new one to make mine look at least similar as I can't afford the whole car....
J Halsey, no contest 😮😊
how does one come to buy some of that paint?😄
Try the Kyosho Mid Facebook group
You missed the 1/12 Kyosho Plazma rerelease... am shocked!!
Right I've just seen and bought a super Astute from this conversation I didn't know you can get one UK your looking at a design classic that can take a 15double
Yep, we are getting the Tamiya Super Astute again in the UK. ETA is currently 6th Dec 2024

Absolutely want one.

Damn you Kyosho. You are killing my private economy. :D
Same LOL
For Christmas, I hope for the Agama N110😅
Back when buggies actually looked like race cars and not alien spacecrafts!
Just preordered the Jay Halsey replica yesterday! And already own the JJ replica. The turquoise is just not my thing..
I wonder what is the difference between the JJ Ultima and the Ultima Pro.
@@perfectsplit5515 totally different chassis - but I think it’s milking it doing it the same way in this turquoise color. Bit more originality would have been nice

Tamiya super astute for christmas
Good call and a good price
C’mon Tamiya. Rere the 959 and Celica already 😊
Anyone have a link to the guy who makes the paint? I am about to finish my Optima Mid '87 60th Anniversary.
I'd like to know this too, I have the individual colours ready to mix but a can would be useful too!
Also interested in the paint. Have purchased 4 different spray paints in that color, because I have no airbrush machine.
Kyosho wins out for me
Awesome!
ill be honest. this JH RC10 is the first rc10 I really like...(no offense RC10 lovers)
The wife might leave me if I buy this. I have the standard re-re and not sure she'll understand why I must buy another version :/
legit thought a nuke got dropped
YES!!!!
Ohhhh noooo kyosho,and TA my wallet cant take anymore!!!!! So many kits not built either, will i panick buy? Probably😂😂😂
Team Losi has been a major let down. I think a lot of people would love to see 1/10 scale JRX2 and JRXT.
