Tamiya Tuesdays in 4K: Tamiya DT-01 'Grasshopper III' (Mad Bull) 1/10 2WD Buggy (Tamiya 58205)

Welcome to the first Tamiya Tuesday of 2020 and a short sneak-peak of the first little test run of the Tamiya DT-01 'Custom Grasshopper 3' (Mad Bull) 1/10 2WD Buggy! One take, no music, no editing, no slow motion, one-handed driving, short and simple and in 4K.

Spring has arrived in the North and it's Tuesday! In these times, with the isolation, I am glad we have the big backyard and lawn, now freshly cut for the first time. Dirt would be better but I am happy.

The longer and edited main video (with details, music, slow motion) will be up this weekend! Hope you will be watching? Stay tuned! Many more videos with the Grasshoppers, Hornets, DT-01's, DT-02's and DT-03's coming up in the nearby future.

Thank you for watching!
