Thanks my friend it’s been a difficult few months for me, completely lost my mojo for the hobby but wanted to try and keep the channel ticking over 🤯 Anyway I’m feeling the love for the hobby again now 😅😇😇
I am planning to buy the tamiya top force evo as I really like the design. As a kid I always wanted the avante but this in my opinion looks more modern and “grown up”. Your evo 2 is superb, but the one thing I am not keen on is the rear wing. I much prefer the original. The only thing I would change is that I would like to see pink wheels lol Great video mate 👍🏻
Ooh tbh i didn't now that the plastic on the battery retainer are different compairing to the previous kits which is a great improvement, also for the arms. I didn't hear about that from anybody until now. Thanks for that information👌 Awesome video buddy, bouth look great but the paint job on the EVO is just badass and the shell is awesome And of course thank you very much for the shout out😊 its an honor for me to see those parts on one of the best Tamiya chanels on YT👌👍💪
Great video, as usual, Glen. I like the body of your Evo2 better than the Evo, it just looks more sleek. That scoop on the top of the Evo just hurts my eyes. I never like the Top force body, the same way I never like Bigwig body. However, the inside stuff of the Evo is so sexy to my eyes, so I couldn’t resist to get one. I just ordered one after watching this and some others videos. Cheers mate!
All those people that sold their top force kits must be gutted watching this. I nearly sold mine but glad I didn’t now . Phew! Im actually looking forward to it now!
Yeah I was a little negative towards it at the beginning which I really regret now tbh. I must learn to shut my mouth on these videos! It’s not my place to feed negativity into the hobby 😭. Anyway that lesson has been learned now and won’t happen again 😇👊🏻
To be honest, I can't decide which one I prefer, I like a lot about both of them. They are both absolutely stunning, you've done a cracking job on both of them mate!! I just wish I could afford one....
If I had to choose Id take your custom top force any day=) Its so epic! I even think of putting the normal aereation shocks on my evo. I love those shocks with the white springs=)
@@TAMIYALegends I just drove my new evo just now, had a blast. The aereation shocks didn't work out. Built the high caps with 4-5mm spacer inside the rear shocks. The front has the plastic spacer as per instructions. PERFECT=) Loved the one way bearing, it wheels around so easy in turns. I need to gear up, no temps above 100f except the motor was 115f. And I even ditched the esc fan to mount it under the top deck.
@@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA Oh tell me about it 😤😤😤 I thought I’d finally found one over here. He did my 801 shell and it’s superb 😍. I contacted him a couple of weeks ago with two more shells I wanted doing! He’s now giving up paining 😭😭😭
My goodness. You had me flip flopping on this based on your previous videos but I finally completed my order based on this video. Excited to get and build it!
The TF evo brothers look cool together both are top end race cars. Would loved to raced with the evo2 it has all the right parts. I lift my hat and tip it, thank you for another trip into the RC world
I enjoyed your vid Glenn. I actually purchased an Evo off the back of this one considering its almost a walk up start to where I'd like it to be. I would have your Evo 2 except my personal taste would be to have the silver anodised gear from Bora rather than blue (i think it would match better with the body). But again my opinion, still a gorgeous pair of buggies. I hope you're well mate 🙂
Brilliant video and 2 absolutely gorgeous cars. You'll have to get a Top force Evo for your display. It'll look amazing as a shelf queen. Also, i love the quality of your video. The picture in picture is very professional looking. Lastly, that box art....HUBBA HUBBA!!!!!😄👍👍
Oh thanks for that feedback on the actual video my friend 🤩. This was an experiment, and yes I personally much prefer this style over the old style build videos I’ve done 😍👊🏻
I absolutely love the EVO rere. I used the soap and water method with the decals, which helped a lot. And runs like a beauty :) Again awesome video my friend
Its good to hear some positives from the Top Force Evo release after all the negatives from the initial release details. Id still rather it look more like yours....a little more TRF hybrid.
Really interesting detailed review mate, It's pretty obvious you've actually had a lot of experience building them. I'll have your TL- Evo-II thanks👌, love all the alloy but I'd still be lucky to own either🤤. Refreshing to hear such a positive review Glenn👍🦘🇦🇺
Great vid Glenn and great to hear so much positive energy for the new rere evo as its been getting a little bit of stick for several reasons! Love your evo Mk2 mate that's a sexy thing! I will take your Mk2 please 😉
After getting a bit of a 'buggy taste' with the little Losi Mini JRX2 I am considering to get a 'proper' vintage style buggy. I am looking at both Kyosho and Tamiya - and this 2021 Top Force Evo is one of the top contenders. But I am also super curios about the upcoming BBX.
Back from my holiday and nice to see this video of two beauties lol, although personally on your EVO2 i would either paint over the front and rear blue coloured shock mount and gearbox hatch in black, or put the original ones back on as i think there is too much blue going on including the wheel nuts, if i owned it i would also put the black egress wheels back on too as it makes it look much more aggressive.
I wonder if the new plastics are in their new Avente.... Would take your one over traditional Tamiya.... that bodyshell really does finish an awesome kit.....
The speed tuned gear set is a must to get rid of the alloy gear, just use the largest of the two spurs in the package. Its not that high geared anyways. I am waiting on some candy for my second evo build before I start. Some alloy, carbon and titanium, lol. This one will be perfectly to my taste=) Last one will be sold.
Brilliant video. I'm about to get one, do you have the part number or exact name for the aluminium motor mount? Surprised it didn't come with one at this price, and considering it was a competition buggy of the time
Love them both in their own way. Wish Tamiya USA would get theirs and start shipping out. Have had mine on order for months now and it kind of sucks to see everyone else getting theirs and we are still in a holding pattern. Maybe next month.
Both are nice... I agree, the 2021 does look more mature. Too bad TRF is dead, I moved on to other race brands that are amazing. Goodbye tamiya TRF... tears in eyes.
Hi there, Could you please help me out,,,, when building the ball diffs for the Top Force evo 2021, the manual refers to using synthetic rubber cement???? I'm unable to find this product, can you please let me know what to use,, glue, ca adhesive or?? Thanks, really enjoy your videos, Cheers Stevie
Cool buggy, I’d wish the cockpit was taller to clear the front shock mounts and make it look more realistic, but I understand what they did it the way they did.
That paint scheme on your tfe is just superb👍 the thing which I don't understand what tamiya have done with the 2021 evo is supplied the adjustable collars for the hi-caps but not the screws that tighten them they just tell you to use the spacers which in my opinion is a very crude way of adjusting the shock springs I've used my own screws for the shock collars when I built my 2021 evo!, although your evo is 10 /10 for gorgeousness I'm going for the pure tamiya topforce evo! But if the alloy upgrades were grey not blue I could be persuaded to change my mind😉
Hi I just got my 3rd Top Force and and I wanted to build a full blown of a monster EVO with a 10.5 Turn hobby Wing Racing motor, as well there ESC etc... That can run with my current TLR 22x4 . I was wondering if you can provide a list of the upgrade parts you used and got them from meaning website etc... Love the channel and I hope the SuperSaber is going to be next on the release kits : )
If only Tamiya sent enough Evo’s to go around in Australia, what a thing of beauty…I’ve heard from my hobby shop that Tamiya have only sent 36 Evo’s to us down under 😢😢…of course I’ve missed out
I’d take either one of them Glenn , I just noticed you have a different wing on your recreation I didn’t catch that before or forgot about it . I have 2 Evos ordered , hopefully I’ll get at least one .
Love the box build would not change the decals at all. But yours looks more racing. Leave the blue but what would the bigger wing look like on it. My LHS has this car and a Egress coming in can only get one. Which one is the question
@@TAMIYALegends had to relook at the Egress on the track video. They both look so cool. Not Avante cool but cool. It is that 2011 Avante I would love to have.
Both cars are looking awesome, but for me the 2021 Evo is a little better looking than your Evo2. Normally I like the blue alloy parts a lot, but this time I prefer the original. I Cant wait to get my 2021 Evo kits! Regards Peter
Not sure how to get ahold of you for regular information so here goes. I have a Monster Racer that I am running and I need rear tires. Where are you getting your tires from?
I’m just about to build my evo, I’m gonna do a mix of the 2, it’s mostly gonna be standard but with big bore aeration and blue prop shaft and cups also red alloy steering knuckles
Would love to know weight differences for all the alloy hop ups? Is there a link for Bora, as I can only find a few of his bits bits on eBay. A recent HPI build showed me the potential of modern plastics versus retro Tamiya ABS. Glad TF Evo '21 has some modernisations. Can't wait to start on mine.
Hmmmmm interesting question 🤔 I guess the best would have to be the 2014 TRF503 🤷🏼♂️. Although now it’s super rare and ridiculously expensive 🤯 But for me the DB01 with hop ups is probably the car to have at the moment 😅. Although these kits are still about they can be expensive too 🤯 I’d also throw the Egress in there too, obviously old design but it runs great 😊 Interesting fun fact 🤓 Although the brand new TD4 has only just been launched, Tamiya are actually saying it’s the best 4wd chassis they’ve ever made 😳. And they actually were comparing it as superior to the TRF and DB cars 😳😳😳 I guess we’ll see buddy 😊👊🏻
I really dig your evo2 chassis, but I like your regular evo's body shell much more. For me the font and size of the letters somehow don't match the proportions and curves of the shell. But this is of course completely subjective. You got yourself two awesome cars for your collection. 👌 If I had the '21 Evo I personally would go with the green colour of the original Top-Force combined with Evo's decals. The original box-art green TForce is imho probably the most beautiful rc-buggy ever created. Not just Tamiya but in general. And the blue Avante of course.
I agree so much. I have the rere of the avante and now the evo. Coolest cars ever. The avante is waiting for a locked spur and ball diffs front and rear. The center ball diff melted the gears.... Another one of the best buggys ever made is the egress. And in 2wd, super astute and dyna storm. Tamiya rocks=)
Great video from the US side of Ontario, i still think the price is too high for what ya get in the kit, Not saying it isn't a good looking buggy cause it is, However, for that price, it should come an alum motor mount and a clear body. just my thoughts.
Love both, thanks for showing. Recently got my evo rere, and built something like your evo 2 with the blue bits, dark impact wheels, and big bores. Must say i was inspired by your build. Any chance for a rere shootout? (Tfe, egress, avante)?
I don't like when they pre-paint the bodies. I think half the fun is making it your own and you can select your own colour. Cutting I could do without having to do.
Tamiya should really hire you as a consultant, they would be much better off for it. Sort out the little niggles before they finalise the kits. BTW, Top Force Evo must be one of the sexiest kits in box art. They need to do an Astute Evo, as the Super Astute just misses the mark looks wise
I like the painted bodies cuz I'm not good at putting details on and paint them I always have someone else do it that's the only part of the hobby I don't like doing.
Both great, I know It's so hard to know where to stop the bling to achieve the perfect look. But the original tfe is so clean, the typography on the stickers is so nice, I actually love the air intake and I don't fancy the trf shocks look as much as the more puristic aesthetic hicaps. So, sorry, but my vote for the original one...... E. G. Also in touring cars, I like the old 53280 dampers (those where you have the pink special edition for your ta02sw gt2 build) so much more than all the modern stubby chunky trf bigbore Supershort grooved threaded cluttered things... Just bought a set of gold ones for my 911 gt2 project (alloy housings only) , will put them together from single parts.. Lots of spare part number crunching... But I prefer this to buying a complete modern set from a point of anesthetics... dream of finding pink or blue/silver ones...
That's by far the goofiest messaging on a Tamiya Buggy wing ever! "Impressive Numbers" What?! Cringey and Tamiya livery is pretty damn cringey... But then again that's part of the Tamiya charm...
the paintjob on the right is so fing nice..paint guy killed it..looks aggressive/fast standing still
Fantastic thanks buddy 😍👊🏻
I'll have either, thanks!
Haha thanks buddy 😍👊🏻
Nice to see you so excited

2 great buggy’s there Glen. If I had 2 keep one I’d keep the Tamiya Evo because I love my box art!

Great build again from you glen.
Thanks Alastair much appreciate my friend 😍👊🏻
Hi glen hope your well. What did u use to stick the splins together at step 1
That is a nice kit. Great video
Fantastic thanks for watching my friend 😍👊🏻
Great video love it.
Fantastic I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤩👊🏻
100% agree. I wish they would do the old cars but made to today’s standards with more modern materials, power plants, and accessories.
Oh yeah I’d love to see some of that Jason 🤩👊🏻
Two very wicked Evo's, still one of my favorite buggies
Thanks Darren and I’m 100% with you, the Top Force is just such an awesome car 😍👊🏻

Would take your one over traditional Tamiya.... that bodyshell really does finish an awesome kit.....
Excellent 🤩
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
The speed tuned gear set is a must to get rid of the alloy gear, just use the largest of the two spurs in the package. Its not that high geared anyways.

Very nice! Hard choice, but Tamiya Evo.
Thanks again Glenn.
Gauranga.
Excellent thanks Matt 😍👊🏻
Hi.
How to get those gearbox brace's, motor mount brace, and front lower brace?
Gonna get that very soon
Brilliant video. I'm about to get one, do you have the part number or exact name for the aluminium motor mount? Surprised it didn't come with one at this price, and considering it was a competition buggy of the time
Love them both in their own way. Wish Tamiya USA would get theirs and start shipping out. Have had mine on order for months now and it kind of sucks to see everyone else getting theirs and we are still in a holding pattern. Maybe next month.
Yeah this one has been extremely bizarre, Europe was flooded with them 🧐🤷🏼♂️
Both are nice... I agree, the 2021 does look more mature. Too bad TRF is dead, I moved on to other race brands that are amazing. Goodbye tamiya TRF... tears in eyes.

Which is the best and durable solid car, tamiya dark impact, Hotshot, Egress and avande? Can't decide which to go for or is there a better model?
I love them both, I really want one to go along side my green Top Force 😩
Yeah that would be very cool to have them both 😍👊🏻
is this better than a VQS? the chassis is very nice on this one
Both cars are looking awesome, but for me the 2021 Evo is a little better looking than your Evo2.
Normally I like the blue alloy parts a lot, but this time I prefer the original.
I Cant wait to get my 2021 Evo kits!
Regards Peter
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Peter 🤩👊🏻
Not sure how to get ahold of you for regular information so here goes. I have a Monster Racer that I am running and I need rear tires. Where are you getting your tires from?
I know it's on my fighter buggy RX but I put it together the screws it seemed harder to turn the screws to get them through the plastic.
I’m just about to build my evo, I’m gonna do a mix of the 2, it’s mostly gonna be standard but with big bore aeration and blue prop shaft and cups also red alloy steering knuckles

If you go to that build video, all his contacts are in the video description James 😅👊🏻
@@Aro800 ahhhh. I'm not on Facebook. I'll see what I can do. Cheers.
Which one?...BOTH, of course!
This is awesome.
Top spec! 👍
i think it should come with a bare shell as well...... not everyone likes grey......
Totally agree I’m not a fan of the pre painting tbh 😤👊🏻
Does the new evo come with spire spike tyres or did I miss you say you put them on from old stock? Great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻
They are the newer square spikes.
But looks like he’s put spire spikes on.
Yeah really sorry I completely forgot to mention I’d fitted it with new old original tyres 🤯🤯🤯
I’d have to say both, but being at the final stages of my Borra bling topforce I do like all of the modern parts on it. LBRC gears going is as well 😉
Oh I couldn’t afford that awesome gear set or the arms at the time 😤😤😤
But I’m hoping to revisit that again at some point 😊😊😊
you ever gonna get the 4 screws to finish the front end of your evo 2??????? :D
Lol 😂
I know I’m a bugger for not finishing stuff 🤯. I actually am in the process of putting this right though 😇😇😇
Hey Glenn,
What would you rate as the best premium buggy kit from Tamiya? I’m interested in your opinion...
Hmmmmm interesting question 🤔
I guess the best would have to be the 2014 TRF503 🤷🏼♂️. Although now it’s super rare and ridiculously expensive 🤯

@@TAMIYALegends lol pretty sure they are hot shot and hot shot2 parts :D
Looking good! The EVO has me wanting one, but the Super Avante looks good!
Excellent thanks for watching and commenting my friend 🤩👊🏻
Will you be getting the evo now for your collection
If I ever manage to have some spare Tamiya tokens Steve, then yes 100% I’d get one for myself 🤩👊🏻
Yep, vintage Evolution rims and new 2021 Evo rims are the same as far as I can tell on my two.
Fantastic Gav thanks for putting that question to bed 🤩👊🏻
Great video from the US side of Ontario, i still think the price is too high for what ya get in the kit, Not saying it isn't a good looking buggy cause it is, However, for that price, it should come an alum motor mount and a clear body. just my thoughts.
Yeah this new painted body thing there doing isn’t for me tbh 🙄
I like the Top Spec but would take either as I have neither! LOL!
Haha fantastic my friend 😍👊🏻
😁👍Super Beauties!
Fantastic thanks Steve 😍👊🏻
Top Force Evo or Egress ?
Bad boy!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching 🤩👊🏻
I forgot did you get the re-release of it? And I bet you can't wait to get the td-4 super avante.
Is that a Mancunian accent?
Love both, thanks for showing.
Recently got my evo rere, and built something like your evo 2 with the blue bits, dark impact wheels, and big bores. Must say i was inspired by your build.
Any chance for a rere shootout? (Tfe, egress, avante)?
Fantastic Jasper it’s awesome putting these things together especially with the added bling my friend 😍👊🏻
I don't like when they pre-paint the bodies. I think half the fun is making it your own and you can select your own colour. Cutting I could do without having to do.
I would have your one if I could only have one of them 👍👍
Excellent thanks David 🤩👊🏻
I have the top force evo already so I will have your custom evo 2 please.
Haha fantastic Michael 🤣👊🏻
Sorry glen I just can’t choose
👍😃
That’s not a problem Ian, there both gorgeous my friend 😍👊🏻
With Australia just receiving only a hand full of evos kits 🤬
I’d be happy with anything 😜😜😜
Yeah Simon, I do hope that gets out right soon my friend 😳🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Tamiya should really hire you as a consultant, they would be much better off for it. Sort out the little niggles before they finalise the kits. BTW, Top Force Evo must be one of the sexiest kits in box art. They need to do an Astute Evo, as the Super Astute just misses the mark looks wise
Haha thank you for the lovely comment my friend 😍
I don’t think Tamiya would have a clue about me or my channel 🤣👊🏻
I like the painted bodies cuz I'm not good at putting details on and paint them I always have someone else do it that's the only part of the hobby I don't like doing.
The painted bodies wouldn't be so bad if they would leave the windows clear.
Yeah I’m not a fan of them myself tbh 😤👊🏻
And I think that this kit was cheaper than a vqs.
2021 model.
Both great, I know It's so hard to know where to stop the bling to achieve the perfect look. But the original tfe is so clean, the typography on the stickers is so nice, I actually love the air intake and I don't fancy the trf shocks look as much as the more puristic aesthetic hicaps. So, sorry, but my vote for the original one...... E. G. Also in touring cars, I like the old 53280 dampers (those where you have the pink special edition for your ta02sw gt2 build) so much more than all the modern stubby chunky trf bigbore Supershort grooved threaded cluttered things... Just bought a set of gold ones for my 911 gt2 project (alloy housings only) , will put them together from single parts.. Lots of spare part number crunching... But I prefer this to buying a complete modern set from a point of anesthetics... dream of finding pink or blue/silver ones...
Thanks Simon I enjoyed reading that my friend 😍
Doing things from individual parts is hard work, but it’s soooooooo rewarding at the end 😍👊🏻
You talk about this being beefy look at the new td4 those are very beefy arms and everything on that car.
That's by far the goofiest messaging on a Tamiya Buggy wing ever! "Impressive Numbers" What?! Cringey and Tamiya livery is pretty damn cringey... But then again that's part of the Tamiya charm...
What about "Hairy Ogre" on the Egress?
