    I was on vacation in Osaka, Japan and decided to check out what the local RC scene was like. This store looked pretty promising and was pretty close to my hotel, so I dropped by to take a look!
    Sorry for the shaky video and mic, I didn't plan on recording anything so just had to use what I had with me.

    In 1984 when I was a child my first ever RC was the Tamiya Grasshopper. I had a lot of friends who were into RC and the most available brand were Tamiya especially during the mid 1980s. In the US during the 80s If you saw any hobby grade rc it was most likely a Tamiya. Many rc enthusiasts started off with Tamiyas.
    You guessed it, internet wasn’t invented yet so young boys assembled Tamiya 1/10 buggies with knobby tires.

    Oh, the Tamiya days! My first ever RC kit (back in the very early '80s) was an electric 1/10 Tamiya Ford F-150 2WD with a hard-body shell. Also had a 2WD Grasshopper, 1/12 4WD Porsche 959 (still have it, and restored it with a brand new sump guard and new body, were hard to find, paid USD100 for tyhe clear lexan body alone) , 2WD Avante (still have it, with a new body). Tamiya RCs were more for casual bashing around. Then moved to the Associated B-3 and TC-3, which were really competitive.
