Tamiya BBX01 Tamiya, you're killing me... From Tamiyablog: https://i.postimg.cc/HsXp4ZFH/Screen...-01-094226.jpg Must have.... Page link in case the pic moves: https://tamiyablog.com/2023/02/other...toy-fair-2023/ EDIT: Sorry, it's BB-01. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 2 Attachment(s) DAMN!!! Well, I see you were partially right at the beginning..."thumbsup" They are calling that one the BBX, on the BB-01 chassis. I wonder how much it'll be! Been a long time since I wanted a 2WD buggy...;-) |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 That is a good looking buggy! It sort of kinda gives me Kyosho Javelin vibes without the body, sort of!! I heard that Tamiya was re and releasing a ton of new models soon. Can't wait to see what else they have to release! |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 I'd like to see on in person first, to make a decision about buying that buggy. It does look like a cool new? , design. I wish there were more rear suspension pics. I'd probably do my chenowth buggy |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 I really like the look of it. It appears to have plenty of suspension travel, which surprises me considering that it's a Tamiya. I'll probably buy at least one (I have 4 sons), especially if they're released as a kit. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 I absolutely love it...it is already available to pre-order |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 I definitely have a soft spot for these classic Tamiya buggies. They look about as cool as it gets(...and of course so does the box art). I was very tempted to get the re-release of the Super Champ a while back. This is looking like yet another reason to pick up a Tamiya. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 I texted my LHS today about ordering one. They're not set up to preorder these in the US yet. Hopefully in the next few days. Unfortunately, this most likely will be similar to the Blockhead Wild One and 45th Anniversary 934 where the US will be one of the last markets to get product shipped to. :cry: |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Looks like price will be around $370 US if/ when it is avail here in the states and that may be without the slipper. I still want one though... so cool. |

Re: Tamiya BBX01 $270 definitely sounds like more of a "kit" price, which would be consistent with Tamiya's offerings. $370 would either likely be an RTR, or they probably wouldn't sell many. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 BigSquidRC stated it would be retail priced at $365... |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Hmm... That doesn't deter me too much, assuming RTR. If the kit price is $365 then they've lost me. I know many Tamiya kits include the ESC & motor. But for that price I'd be expecting all of the electronics. Especially considering that it's VERY tough to believe a Tamiya kit's offroad performance will be impressive. It does appear an improvement over typical Tamiya performance, but my SC10b would likely blow it out of the water at speed over rough terrain. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Well... I like that it's a kit... but it doesn't even include the ESC / motor for that price. No electronics actually. That's unfortunate. https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/-road-buggies/rc-bbx/ |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Quote:
Maybe it'll drop by the time it's actually available, and Tamiya kits typically seem to be cheaper through retail outlets than Tamiya themselves. Pretty cool looking buggy, like the classic look. I'm wondering about the wheel size, if they're 1.7ish I'm wondering why they didn't use the FAV tires n wheels. The FAV fronts were much better looking IMO. Not greatly different but a little more than just straight groove treads. Looking forward to seeing some threads on it and bashing videos, see what kind of durability this thing has. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Guess we'll see the price once it hits the shores. The Astute is listed as $414 on TamiyaUSA, but retails around $289 or so. I've had that one on the radar for a while and the price really hasn't budged much since introduction. Doubt this one will be much different. Tamiya has had some supply chain issues I'm hearing, they haven't included a basic Tamiya ESC with the kits in a while, they've been sourcing ESC's from Hobbywing (which is good) - I don't mind the lack of ESC, I have a box of stock unused Tamiya ESC's sitting here since they don't have lipo cutoff. Not sure of some of the higher spec ones do now, but the older ones were set up for LiFe which is useless when using a lipo. |

Re: Tamiya BBX01 I'm interested in this and a few other ones they released. I'm a sucker for Tamiya despite their quirks. |

https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/110-m...-rally-mf-01x/ I've always had a soft spot for Tamiya, first 4 or 5 RC cars I had were all Tamiya back in the 80s. |

https://www.asiatees.com/display?Mis...d=204422&pid=1 I love those old round eye Rabbits. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 The VW I drove shortly after I got out of the service was a square-headlight Pennsylvania-built Rabbit 4-door manual. It was my Dad's old car, I got familiar with driving stick on the empty back roads of the Texas Hill Country, some of them unpaved, in the rain - I would come back home with full rally mud stripes from cooking it in the turns... Some of the most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels! |

Re: Tamiya BBX01 Just ordered it and the slipper for $246.00 shipped from Tower. First 2wd in a long time. I couldn’t resist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Me too... kit was $255, slipper was $30. Not bad. You can still use discounts on Tamiya stuff which is nice, knocked $40 off. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Yeah you can’t beat those Tower discounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Tamiya BBX01 $255? Hot damn! I just ordered two from Tower Hobbies. Hmm, I wonder how the Holmes 2200KV 380 "weevolver" would run in these things... |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Quote:
On the tower hobbies main page if you scroll down they have a section where it shows you how much you can save. Here’s a pic. I’m part of the super saver club so I got $55.00 off my order of the Bb01 and slipper.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9092826a3f.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Tamiya BBX01 For anyone who's wondering about the LiPO LVC missing from the Tamiya TBLE-02s, there is an easy solution that I've used with my Tamiyas. Install an LVA (low voltage alarm). They're programmable so you can set the voltage they alarm at, and they're super loud. If the car was 50 yards away from you, you'd still easily hear it. I've always run my Tamiyas on 2S LiPOs with LVAs. I have two Tamiya TBLE-02s / brushed motor combos that I plan on running in the BBXs that I bought. I'll just add LVAs to each chassis so I can use 2S LiPOs with them. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 I pre-ordered a BBX a couple of days ago on Tower, looking forward to the new buggy. A little mix if old with a mix of new, I like it! |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Quote:

Re: Tamiya BBX01 Yeah, that unfortunately does happen. Which means for the sake of safety, you're going to waste some MAH that you would have gotten to use had your electronics been equipped with an LVC. I have an abundance of extra batteries to make up for this, so when the alarm trips (sometimes prematurely) I just throw a new one in. You can adjust the threshold to a lower voltage, minimizing that effect. I just liked how it typically alarmed when my batteries were half full, resulting in me.not needing to storage charge them. |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Towers site now says shipment in March! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Gangster! I might have the two I ordered in time for my twins' birthday in April. I thought I had Xmas 2023 covered already, but apparently not. I guess I'll need to buy more RC cars then... |
Re: Tamiya BBX01 Unfortunately, Tower's site now says June 2023 will be the shipping date. Hopefully it doesn't keep getting moved back. Either way, I'm just going to plan for these to be an X-mas present. Fortunately the Losi 22s SCT will make a good birthday present in April for my younger twins. |
