Great kit, very happy with build and how durable it is. I upgraded to metal ball bearings and am happy.
I got this buggy a few years ago to start my collection of 4wd buggies. It's a nice one for the price. Good traction on dirt-and it jumps well too. Use bearings and a motor upgrade and you can't go wrong. The suspension could use a bit more travel-but I simply put it over smaller, more realistic ramps and it's fine. If you want to really fly your buggy then this one won't do the job. It's still a cool 4wd buggy though.
Very easy build but still a lot of fun! Great quality as usual from Tamiya. This is my second buggy build. Will definitely be building more buggies
Is been a long time since I built a car from a kit. I bought this just to kind of get my hand back in. There’s a reason that it costs what it does. The plastic is heavy and brittle but the fit s fine. The Phillips screws are almost impossible to use. I bought the hex screw set after messing with it for a few hours. Every part ,needs to have the molding sanded off. I used a dremel tool for that. I had very low expectations for this car and they were met. I couldn’t figure out the servo connections. I got the motor to run and 3 of the 4 wheels turned. I probably made a mistake when I put one of the hubs together. I quit there. I couldn’t get the tires on the rims. I’m old and my hands are weak but still I think I should have been able to do it. I have no problems with Pro-Line wheels and tires. I never expected to do anything except just to be able to follow directions so I Could build a car that I wanted. It’s sitting in the box in my shop. I got what I wanted. I gave it 3 stars for the Phillips screws and having to sand and scrape each part.
Four reviews, all for the Tamiya Plasma Edge II 1/10 4WD Off Road Buggy Kit (TT-02B). Reviewers generally praise the build ease, fun factor and Tamiya quality, with two giving full marks. One reviewer notes good dirt traction and jumping, but says the suspension travel is limited for big jumps. Upgrades such as metal ball bearings and a motor are mentioned as common. One reviewer, returning to kit building after a long break, rated it 3/5, citing heavy, brittle plastic, hard-to-use Phillips screws, the need to sand mould lines, and difficulty with servo wiring and tyre fitting. The sample is small and the reviews are mixed on assembly difficulty.
