428 - Wild One:It's Time To Say Goodbye To The KO Servo!

A new Savox servo has been delivered to my door in the last days, so it is the time to retire the last veteran from the original build of my Wild One.

With the occasion, as said, I will make a further attempt to use the #51000 Tamiya servo saver in this car also. I never tought before but I guess that some spacers will help and, unfortunately, I have to deal (again) with the infamous springs of that servo saver.

427 - A Song For Billy Ray: Filling Some Holes

The body designated to revamp my Stadium Blitzer was originally destined to my CR-01 so  the existing mountig holes need to be filled.

Previously I've reinforced the body by the inside usign some duct tape and after I've used some Tamiya R/C Polycarbonate Body Reinforcing Cement bough on porpouse. Of course I'm not going to repaint the body from the outside so the filled holes will be covered with some custom decals.

426 - The New Tamiya BB-02: The Way Tamiya Tamiya Raises The Level

Just after the middle of august 2026 Tamiya (via this video from Tamiya USA) shows to the world its way to raise the level: the BB-02.

A brand new car, a brand new model that is strongly linked to the previous buggy version of the BB: the BB-01.

A model with deep roots in the Tamiya tradition because the buggy has been followed by a Beetle that shares the same concept: as the Sand Schorcher followed the Rough Rider back in the days.

Now it's my turn, as modeller, to start to save some moneys and to star to gather the electronics to put in this new milestone.
