Used to love watching this at Beatties in Birmingham.. eventually my folks bought me one loved building it with my dad.. great memories :) thanks for posting this up
The handling is truly awful, but that's what makes it so much fun. No one should elude themselves that this rc car has any sort of reasonable handling, it doesn't. Probably one of the worst handling RC Tamiya of all time.
@@tokyodrifter108 Yeah, Traxxas is in another league entirely, that's the real thing right there. 👍 Hornet is more for laughs, which it excels at with it's insane acrobatics getting airborne on the smallest little bump, flipping forward pretty much uncontrollable at any reasonable speed.
My very first Tamiya,awesome buggy 😎
Me too. back in the 80's
Same here yn the late 80´s.
I have just bought a new one...2004 re-release.

Holy crap that is one thiiiicckk 80s beat.

One of my very earliest memories was that my big brother had one of these. I never saw it moving but I remembered the box. I was 4 and he was 10.

I honestly can’t explain how stoked I am to see that dude, I’m as excited as my 5 year old dad seeing it on tv when they first came out bro
One of the best looking ever. Sub par in every other respect 😄
These videos have a unique scene, I love them.
On my channel I have the ones I could get.
Who was the voice of these videos and is he still with us?
".... performance to win..." well, aslong as all others are grasshoppers lol
Iit is crap. Dad has it and it does not drive off road
