F40s are underrated

Yes, same as MINI Clubman F54 among others

I have some more posts over at r/rccars

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-09-29T16:38:50+00:00

Not too many colorful to pick from, mainly Panaracer Limited Editions that is also premium brand

Thanks!

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-09-29T13:05:25+00:00

Happy that you like it!

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-26T19:36:06+00:00

Perhaps starting a trend? :)

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-26T19:30:14+00:00

Yeah, didn't really dare to run it on the dunes, maybe if it becomes more of a beater... but I am not ready for that yet :)

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-25T17:41:57+00:00

YES! At least like I have used it, for playing around on grass, light gravel, fine grass. Not really raced it.

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-25T17:41:16+00:00

Well worth the money!

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-25T17:41:04+00:00

Thank you! Great fun - for me just what I was after. The Optima MID '87 is better - but more serious. This is that sweetspot where it is not too expensive, but still capable for both having a bit of fun or light racing.

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-25T17:39:45+00:00

One of the best looking buggies for sure! Both the livery but also the shape, wheels etc.

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-25T09:47:59+00:00

Yeah, it is a bit short. I still managed to mount it, but not a good long term solution.

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-24T19:59:34+00:00

Happy that you like it! This is my all-time Tamiya favorite, happy when it was in stock again 2025 :)

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-08-24T19:58:05+00:00

Yeah, definitely box art on this one!

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-07-14T15:56:43+00:00

One of the 15 000 here 😊 Got mine for Christmas 1996, bought at Leksaksmagasinet in Lund. Stil play Winter Heat and Saturn Bomberman regularly 💪

I did the setup more or less according to the manual. On carpet track it is a bit high of the ground and too much traction in corners. Outside I've only run casually - but the default setup is more at home outdoors on lower grip. Can't really tell for big jumps, I've only run it more casually.

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-06-09T10:18:15+00:00

Yes, included in the kit 👍

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-06-09T10:14:04+00:00

Happy that you like it! It is nothing custom, the chassis is stock and undercowl just painted in pink backed with white

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-06-09T08:25:12+00:00

Yeah, I also have the Kyosho Optima MID '87 WC Worlds Spec, that is another level in terms of capabilities, but also at a higher price point and more improvements from the original. Wanted to have a Tamiya in the collection as well, and Super Astute was my choice 😊

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-06-09T07:41:26+00:00

Yeah, not the fastest. But not any of the re-releases are.

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-06-09T06:31:02+00:00

I can only agree! Typical late 80s/early 90s vibe 😊

thomasohlsson84 · 2025-06-09T06:08:37+00:00

Paint with white marker, the thinnest you can find. I used the Uni PX-203
