Tamiya Super Sabre Upgrades & Tips

#dustyfingersrc

I make video's of vintage RC's from the golden era sharing tips, tricks and running footage. I organise my video's in to playlists to make it easy for you.

This is Tamiya's first re-release of the Super Sabre RC buggy since 1987 & here I detail all the Hop Ups I have used to improve the drive train together with a couple useful tips and an extra Hop-Up you might consider doing.

These upgrades will also benefit the the Tamiya Boomerang other than the alloy shocks, because the rear shock towers are different and so you would need a different length for the rear.

The Hotshot family if cars have a weak point and fortunately we have solutions available to reinforce the front suspension mount based on the original CRP solution from back in the day.

If you want more details of the build, watch this video:    • Tamiya Super Sabre Restoration Turns ...
