oodboo Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Still early days for this collection but a while ago Tamiya brought out some models based around a comic and the coro coro dragon. I've decided I want these cars. The first in my collection is a thunder dragon, I had one of these as a kid and now I have another: Next to be completed well either be a fire dragon or saint dragon as these are currently about 80% complete anyway, just a few more parts needed for each. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Bang tidy. I'd be getting those wheels off the deck though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stulee666 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looks great I still have my 1987 fire dragon that I raced as a 7 year old,i don't think I'll ever part with it. I will post some pics of my old rc's soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'm glad you like it. The thunder dragon was never the most popular car on that chassis and while the thundershot and Fire dragon were both re-released, I don't think this one was (I could be wrong on that though). It's currently stored in a cupboard on a small plastic box to keep the wheels up while waiting for a new home to be prepared. I thought the Saint dragon was going to a difficult one as the chassis rarely comes up for sale and last one I saw was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 As far as possible the collection will include the mini 4wd versions as well. I have this waiting for paint: Also got a dash 2 that my son now plays with: Tamiya did bring out some 1/10 dash bodies as hop ups but these are rare as hens teeth and sell for more than I'm willing to spend.

oodboo Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Been a long time since I started this collection bit it hasn't been forgotten. Some reres will be helping. This super storm dragon being one of them. Got a fire dragon and new thunder dragon on pre order with modelsport and a saint dragon body on it's way from eBay to go on a madcap chassis that's been waiting patiently for too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oodboo Posted April 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 Fire dragon and saint dragon have been added to the collection now. Just need the rere thunder dragon so I can have a nice, clean new one. Also considering a tbg dash emperor body for the old thunder dragon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how I feel about it going on the fire dragon chassis, looks like it sits too high up to me. Might have to get one anyway though 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodboo Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Still haven't bothered with the new 4wd Saint Dragon, don't think I will but I have bought a new Saint Dragon body and I have the choice of the original red decals or the new blue ones when I paint it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 My thunder dragon is still half built in its box. I just felt so let down by the quality of some parts (the original ones were better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Other than the slight variation in the yellow of the shocks I thought it was fine. What issues did you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
