  • Something a little different for this channel. Join me as I visit the 61st Shizuoka Hobby Show and Tamiya HQ Open House Event. Although the majority of the Hobby Show focuses on static model kits (the variety and detail of which just blows my mind!) there is plenty of RC related content to see!
    As expected, Tamiya were keen to show off the up-coming BBX, although we won't get it until August here in Japan. The buggy looks impressive and even in stock form you can tell it will handle really well.
    Kyosho's display focused on their popular Mini Z line, but they also had many of the Legendary Series Buggies (though it seems they are using the name "Vintage Series" more often now). I was casually checking them out when I noticed I was standing next to the Legend, Kogawa San. He designed many of Kyosho's buggies back in the 80's including the Scorpion, Beetle, Fantom, Tomahawk, Optima, Javelin, Optima Mid, Ultima etc. He has also overseen all of the re-releases too. It was a pleasure to meet him and talk all things Kyosho RC.
    Later in the video we stopped by Tamiya's HQ. The entrance hall houses many full sized cars and bikes. From there you can see some of the injection molding machinery and learn about the plastic molding process. There is also a small, dimly lit, museum with some of the most iconic RC kits ever created on display.
    All in all it was a great day, despite the rain.
    As always, thanks for watching!

    Comical Hornet! I remember the orig Hornet, think it was one step above my first RC car the Grasshopper - which was bottom of the tier...but still super cool for me. Then my buddy got the Fox :(

    • @KaiCityRC
      @KaiCityRC  Рік тому

      Grasshopper and Hornets maybe on the cheaper side, but they are plenty fun!! 👍👍 I'm having such a good time running mine in the local race series. Been busy with Hopper mods this weekend too. 😁
      The Hornet, Grasshopper and Frog that appear in the Tamiya demo are the Tamtech Gear Series on the GB-01 chassis. 😊 They've been around for a while (I have the 27mhz Frog version from back in the mid 2000's). These newer ones can be run on regular double AA batteries, or so they said.
      The clay model at Tamiya HQ was an early version of the Comical Hotshot I believe. Though the chassis was the 2WD version.

      There wasn't much in the way of things to buy. Tamiya's Open House event was scaled back considerably compared to the last time I was there. In the past they sold a wide range of discounted items, but this time it was mostly original goods - sticks, t-shirts etc. There were a few odd items for sale by the various manufacturers at the Hobby Show, but nothing really of note.
      I already have the BBX on pre-order. 😁

    BBX vs Kyohso Vintage Series? What would you go for?

    • @KaiCityRC
      @KaiCityRC  Рік тому +2

      Vintage Series. I can't think of any of my Kyosho's I'd be willing to give up for a BBX. The BBX looks to be a very appealing combination of retro and modern. Up close it looks really good and I was impressed with how well it jumped in the limited demo I saw. But as nice as it is, it doesn't have the nostalgia that the vintage series has. 🙂
      Nevertheless, I have one on pre-order! 😁

      They probably will. Do you know the pre-order price over there? By the time you have got your motor, ESC, radio set and servo it is going to be quite a high price, especially if you want to go brushless. In UK, the brushless spec bundles with everything you need to get running are over 500 GBP.
