BUiLDiNG the Tamiya Boomerang 2008 1/10 4WD (Tamiya #58418) 1980ies RC Icon!

Time to build! Here is the 1986 4WD RC Icon, the Tamiya Boomerang 2008 Re-release, fresh from the box and to the finished buggy! Just in time for it's 10th Anniversary!

For me, this is simply one of the most beautiful and iconic 4WD buggies from the 1980ies! So happy Tamiya re-re-released this again last year, 2017.

This Build Video is a little different than normal. The main part consists of photos of the complete steps, initially used for Instagram. But for those who prefer a video and one click, here it is. I added the additional footage I had. It was really never intended for a video, as I build this in several steps in the evening time, with no studio lights, while my son was sleeping. I know it's a long video, with no images flickering by in a rush, but I hope it will interest the few, with a keen interest in the Hotshot family.

More footage of the final result, first tests and first run coming up very soon!
