Im considering getting that as my first real RC assembly kit, would it be too much for a first timer? I mean I upgrade and modify my other vehicles all the time, I've just never built one from scratch.

Gravel-Hound

Well if it helps I've never touched a real RC (hobby grade)
and my first one (gravel hound duh!) i got a kit and
it was built fine!

Go for it nothing is too hard!

tamiya kits are very beginner friendly. manuals show everything step by step and there are drawings for every step so you will know parts go and how how your car is suppose to be looking at that step.

Those old TA01/2 chassis are relatively simple, nothing to complicated to it.

There is nothing better than building your own car. And like the other guys said.. Tamiya kits are exelent for beginers. Not dificult at all!

Go for it!!

Yeah, Tamiya kits have good instructions. You shouldn't have any problems. I built my first RC fro ma Tamiya kit, and it was fine. Have fun!

Read the directions first so you can plan for what you are going to need. *****Make sure you have everything you need before you start!***** Take your time, clean (smooth edges from the tree) well, follow the directions, don't try to skip steps! When in doubt, creat a thread!

My first kit was an Associated RC10 Stealth (1991 or 1992). I was 16 or 17, and it was beautiful, well without the body.

Thanks & be good!

If I can do it, YOU CAN DO IT!

Thanks for the input, I think I'll give it a shot.

The only part I know I cant do well is painting, so I'll likely do a simple 1 or 2 color scheme.

Im also thinking about one of these. They look really kool and really scale. This will be my first kit too!

I was 13 when i first got my rising storm (same as gravel hound but different body shell) i had never built an rc in my life but with a little help from my dad it want smoothly. The painting is easy as long as you dont rush. If you havent yet seen the rising storm, look for it as many prefer the style of the body (including me).

I love mine! Painting is not to hard, as long as you take your time. Set all the window stickers in the correctly and tape of nicely.
