This will be my oldest & rarest kit build-up to date. The Fast Attack Vehicle was released in 1984, RC model #46, the first in a line of only two vehicles to be made with this chassis (the second would be the Wild One).

The suspension & drivetrain are similar to that of the Frog, but the chassis has a significantly lower center of gravity. The basic build should go fairly quickly, but hand-painting a camo scheme, particularly on the driver, will surely take quite some time. Because this is such a classic and hard-to-find vehicle, I'll take far more photos than usual.

been waiting on this,,,thanks

Your seriously going to built this NIB kit??!!
Awesome!
Im old enoung to recall when it came out and wanted one badly. I still regret giving my Super Champ to my cousin.

Not only gonna build it, gonna run it! In dirt!

I'm gonna watch this thread =D Btw, a couple of days ago there was a NIB Porsche 934 -- yes! Tamiya's first RC! It was sold for around €700 I think, which, in my opinion, was dirt cheap.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Totally kidding, can't wait for this build to begin. Great choice Jang!

Next your going to purchase the rarest stamp in the world......and mail it!
You rebel!

It's all about timing, generally 10-20 years after release products are at their peak value, and then after that it goes down.

Exactly why this one was about $700 shipped.

U gunna g0 BRUSHLASS?
