    My first RC car was a Tamiya Fox. It was probably around 1986 and I was really excited to get it. I built it and had a lot of fun with it. I remember once I got a much bigger pinion gear to make it faster and when I drove it with that pinion, the Tamiya connector melted. I put in a new connector and put the old pinion back on. After a while I stopped driving it and sold it at a yard sale. I still wish I would have kept it. About 15 years ago I downloaded wallpapers for my computer and I found a good picture of a Tamiya Fox. It brought back good memories so I got back in the RC hobby and still am today.

  • @mhamza2531
    @mhamza2531 5 років тому +12

    Kevin I know your feeling of wanting to keep it original. I have just received an old nitro buggy from my uncle which he has had since he was about ten so about 20 years ago. So I know what it is like keeping it original for it to keep its memories. Love what you do. Keep it up

    My first RC was also a Tamiya. a Tamiya Thunder Stadium Truck. 2wd of course. No 4wd stadium trucks yet back then. I didnt do much to it, kept it stock cuzz i was saving up for the Team Associated RC10T. I did come back to the Tamiya few yrs after. All electronics upgrades and a thats when i realized i never upgraded the bearings, all bushings were still in there. Hahaha. Melted a couple bushings under a hand wound 10Turn motor. Lmao. Ahhhhh memories. I love tamiya. One of m favorite tamiya models was the first TT-01. Awesome touring car. Had it for 10+ yrs and sold it later on. I picked up a Lunchbox a few yrs ago. Now i see the re-release out and mini lunchbox, they are making mini versions of all the tamiya classics in 1/18 scale. Currently have my eye on the Tamiya Bigfoot and Grasshopper..... The one i wanted, and still do, is the JUGGERNAUT!!!. Remember that one? I wish i had my old ones. Sold them through the years to make the funds to put into next rc. As i got older, ive become more specific about which ones i sell and i keep no matter what.
    Currently my oldest Rc is an 1/28th scale Gen 1 Xmods (the R34 skyline). Got it back in 2005. Since then have added 7 or 8 more xmods, sold a few, kept a few. I caught the Micro and Mini bug ever since. Lol. Largest scale Rc in my collection is 1/18th. Have a bunch of 1/18s, a 1/16 only nitro gas rc ive had for little over 10 yrs. Needs work. Hard to come by, and if resales are crazy prices. Its the Trinity 1/16 Nitro Buggy. Has a ridiculous 1/10 scale engine 2.5 big block. 2 speed trans. But havent touched nitro for over a decade. And then have a bunch of 1/28th, 1/24th, and my fav little one 1/32 Team Losi Micro T. No longer have any of the 1/10s or 1/8s. I am however looking into getting back into larger scale, hence your channel has become a regular goto for reviews and what nots.

    That’s so cool to see you go down memory lane. When I was young I dreamed of having an RC10T. I saved up all my money and went to go buy it. My mom went with me and once I put down the money it was mine. However my mom talked me out of it because she said I couldn’t afford to fix it if it broke. So my mom had me get a camera instead that she eventually always used. I never got my dream car but I have purchased other rc cars since and I love the hobby. Best wishes to you!

    Hey kev, your videos inspired me to get an RC car so on my birthday last September, my parents got me a tamiya rising fighter and I am kind of like how you was needing to get things to repair as my dad drove into the side of my car (he has a tamiya grass hopper) and he snapped my suspicion and snapped my chassis in half but I spent 5 hours fixing it and I am still using it. It is so much fun. We need to spread this to everyone as they need to try this out

    Hey Kev I love this video. Brings back some memories for me as well being 31 now. I didn’t have this one but my first RBC was a Tamiya wild dagger. I modified it so much it was so fun. I don’t sadly have it anymore. But I did find a Tamiya Mad Bison I bought about 10 years ago now it’s still new in box. They are quite rare now. I always wanted it when I was 12/13 but I couldn’t afford anything like you so when I seen it years later in a hobby store clear out of old back room stock I grabbed it. It’s the nitro version of the wild dagger essentially. Thanks for this video.

    I think it's awesome you used all the stuff you had for the car when you were a kid. It would be easy to rebuild it with modern components but it wouldnt be the car you ran when you were 10. Slap her on a shelf and enjoy the memories sir, good job.🍻
