Had the FF03 out again today, another camera operator failure so didn't get my fastest run recorded but I did get a 65.1Mph run captured.  Puts me back on top of the Tamiya Club speed board [emoji3]
 



I love this car :-)

Some better footage of my FF03 65Mph run.  I had it out again since but it was too windy and I had a couple of high speed fails (Below) and I'm now waiting on some parts before I can go back and try for over 70 :).  

 

 

Some fail footage

 

 

The damage :(

Oops! Great effort though - nice to see folks disproving the common misconception that Tamiya = slow.

I want a Falcon, that was my first Tamiya. Got the kit in the 80's for my birthday in June and had to wait till christmas for the radio, battery and charger :(

 

I hope Tamiya re-release it :)
