Tamiya moved from static into radio-controlled models almost by chance. One lunchtime, Shunsaku Tamiya noticed one of his designers, Fumito Taki, driving an electric radio-controlled car around. He’d fitted a battery-electric drive to a Tamiya F1 car kit, and the result was just what the boss had been looking for. The company’s first radio-controlled model had been a Sherman tank in 1974 and, inspired by Taki’s efforts, the first car, a Porsche 934 in 1976. The scale body of the Porsche was based on a plastic kit that had received critical acclaim but not great commercial success.
Oh man! Thanks for the memories! Tamiya RC was my obsession as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s. Started off racing the Tamiya LP500S Countach at my local indoors RC club (using foam tyres, stippled with quick drying liquid silicone) man that was intense fun with no quarter given or taken! Moved on to buggys and started with holiday buggy then sand scorcher, Ford Ranger and a Tamiya Rough Rider. Enjoyed that trip down memory lane! Cheers 👍👏👏👏♥️
We used to have a track in my town that closed down about 10 years ago. Everyone used to go there to race nitro and electric classes and I haven't seen anyone out with RC since then. I know there's probably 50 or so people with massive collections stuffed away in their basement or attic or something and I am still waiting for the day for them to show up at a yard sale or on Marketplace. I have alerts setup on everything. There's so many Losi and Associated models I've been wanting. I want to relive that early '00s late '90s experience I could never afford. edit: I just realized this video is 4 years old lol. It just popped up in my feed and I assumed it was recent for some reason.
@@TomleyRC lol i bet, you have quite a few goodies there mate, I look forward to see you do some videos on these as you get to test them out, have a good weekend Phil 👍
OMG!!! What a wonderful find seriously amazing... 95% of this collection to me is just so desirable beyond belief! ! ! Mate enjoy enjoy enjoy absolutely beautiful...
Awesome collection you've got there. Definitely a lot of keepers! I just got my hands into a Tamiya Bruiser, the original from 1985 (#58048) and I'm thrilled. It's in fairly good condition and complete. I just dismantled it to clean all the plastics, electronics and oil the mechanics so I'll assembly back anytime now and looking forward to see it shining again on and off road.
Awesome mate... well done. I'm a bit jealous 😁. I do own an original Ford Ranger XLT that I have had for 15 years.. was always my favourite SRB as a kid.
@@TomleyRC yeah I ran mine initially when i bought it.. put a crack in the body..should have known better! Has been static for 10 years now. One day I will do an overhaul on it.
Oh yeah that's what I'm talkin bout!!! I've probably owned about a 1/2 dozen or more of those vehicles and drooled over the rest in my day. That's an amazing collection!!!! Talk about RC nostalgia.😉
I can't get enough of these cars too. I like to go to the basement and indulge in memories. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to finally restore and drive the cars. But many of them are almost too good to drive again because running out of spare parts.
What an amazing collection mate! The Hilux is definitely my favorite. I have the original that my dad bought brand new. I still run it on the trails almost every weekend. They will last forever as long as you keep them moving and lubed up. It will definitely live a few more generations.
Great stuff! Always fun to see your videos. The HILUX is fantastic! The LAMBORGHINI was my first RC!!! It ran for many years. I wonder if my son still has it?
Wow! Brings back memories. I I always wanted the brat and the 959 2 of my all time favourites. Well done mate you have got yourself a bloody nice collection there👍👍
Phil What a amazing collection, I have brought a couple of Job lots myself over the years but nothing like this mate, Your money is well invested for sure but not only that, it’s the smiles per mini miles & the pleasure that this stunning collection will bring you, Being into the hobby & becoming the proud new owner of such beautiful rare RC cars is something one can usually only dream about. Your favourite trucks were my choice also tbf, must be a age thing lol. Your video as always was 1st class, informative & great to watch. Looking forward to watching more of your excellent videos especially from your new location 😃 Take care my friend 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.. Would love o have my Lamborghini still. It a great kit. Had a lot of fun, used to race real cars on the street with it. What a good score.
Great find!! Beautiful selection too.. Must have been too good of a deal to pass up. Now you have a lot more RC's for your channel. Plus you already had a huge collection. Congratulations and good luck!!
@@TomleyRC Hi mate,I've just found an original Tamiya Hornet with the box,instructions and original batteries. Can you give me an idea of it's value please? I've been told a lot of different prices and I really have no idea what to believe. I'd value your opinion please, thank you 😊 🙏
Hi, Thanks for putting this video up. It was really cool to see the history of RC from the early 80s and maybe before. The Tamiya and Kyosho Beetles are motivating me to build some sought custom all wheel drive Basher Beetle. Your channel is awesome. Stay healthy! 👍🏾
In 1982 when I was 12, Wild Willy was the best thing ever. 3 or 4 of us also raced the Tamiya Ford F-150s on a homemade track in the woods. I don’t have a single picture of any of it.
Bored? It's like the best xmas ever about 30 times in a row! What a fantastic collection you've scored there. 👍 My first RC as a kid was a Rough Rider, then later we had a Brat, and I spent years drooling over the catalogues and stuff like the Countach, Ranger and Sand Scorcher. Plus, that Hilux... I SO lusted after that thing. OMG! In fact, it's the reason I've finally ordered (just yesterday!) a TF2 - leaf springs, metal ladder chassis, Hilux body. Lovely... assuming the apocalypse doesn't stop the postie, anyway... 😱 Anyway, congrats mate! What a great stack of cars! 😍👍
Thanks for sharing what a trip down memory lane, have had several of these when I was a kid rough rider with a ford body on it, A Traxxas Bullet but when you took out that Lamborghini I almost fell out my chair. Was my first proper rc might even still have it somewhere, anyway nice collection.
Some of those Tamiya cars bring back memories of going into Beatties before the Bullring was remodelled. What a collection, what ever possessed him to get rid of them??? The Hiluz, Beatles and Wild Willy are my favorites. I have always wanted to own a Tamiya RC car, looks I will have to put a bit of OT in and add one to collection....
Awesome 👌. I have got too many projects that I have not even started as yet. 1/12 and 1/6 scale cars to build, various other smaller scale cars to build. WPL RC cars to modify and amy FG Marder Beatle to get running again oh and I forgot all about the digital scalextric I want set up the loft. I think that you have much more than me to do, not sure where you find the time.....
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Brilliant, can't wait to see them running, comparing the performance to modern equivalents will be interesting. Good luck with sourcing the parts though.
Have to agree with you there my 1st tamiya 30 years ago was a ford ranger the blue one, I couldn't stop looking at it when it was built. The stance was superb. Definitely one of tamiya's best kits.
Awesome, saved the best for last, Imagine that disintegrating in a gutter with the controller in Your hands! Agreed on never risking Lambo. Wow, so many, if not All I would love to rip fresh low tide sand. Great show Tomley, Yum.
Holy crap that's a collection and a half! Brat, Ranger, High Lux and Scorcher are my faves but Im like you only really interested stuff that can be used! Looking forward to the follow up vids matey!
@@TomleyRC only shelf queen I have is my Clodbuster shell painted as the Fall Guy truck but gonna use an old toy grade chassis to make it a static model!
Those early Tamia model's look very flymsy...I can see why he does'nt want to use them. My personal fave is the ProCat...My second machine after my MiniStock. I bought both second hand and i used to bash the living daylight's out of them...absolutely indestructable little machine's. The good old day's before brushless this and LiPo that. Best wishes to you and your's in these challenging time's.
Thanks dude. Some of the Tamiyas are a bit cheap looking. But overall they are good. The early ones especially. I've gifted that Cat to a friend who used to race them back in the 80's/90s
@@TomleyRC mate your going to have endless Fun 😁 am guessing you brought them for about 2k or more , am so Jealous lol😁. AMAZING COLLECTION MATE. WELL DONE BRO 👍😎👍
You made a good choice for sure, to me the value of this collection is more than 5000$ The tamiya hilux 3 speed is a super super cool rc, build quality is just great. This rig on the trail is priceless. 2wd to 4 wheels drive like the real one. Hub switch. The big diamond in the gold mine. Congratulation! Lucky you!
I seriously cannot believe you got the Lambo and the WR8...😭...I'll never run into a deal like that over here, can never catch a break in RC. Cool runnings man👍😎 I think I realise how far your addi.....um ....your HOBBY, I mean, has come gov!! Wooo!
Fantastic score man,I like them all. Though I'm jealous over that OG hilux. That is my dream RC. I often thought about trying to lower my bruiser a bit to make a tribute if I could,lol
@@TomleyRC that's cool,I'm just glad to hear you're actually gonna run it sometimes,even if it's just a dry run. I run all my rc's including my OG bruiser (though I don't abuse it) as just in my opinion as not everyone feels the same,they're meant to be used sometimes and enjoyed and not spend there entire life on a shelf and not get used or loved,lol.
What a mouth-watering selection of vintage RC cars! I think the jewel in the crown´s that 3 speed Hilux, but I bet if you were to take a poll of the first 100 people to watch this video you´d have almost as many different answers. I wish you much joy from your new collection - and beef up your home security! To my wife´s occasional irritation I insist upon keeping the high-value core of my modest collection in the bedroom, where I can, if necessary, defend them with my life. The New Brights I´ve nicked the bodies from live in the garage : )
Yes Del, what an awesome collection, and all the luck was with me this week! I will certainly be keeping the high value ones under lock and key. Although I do have CCTV on the garage/driveway
@@TomleyRC I´m glad to hear you have CCTV. I have a uestion arising from a remark you made about how a battery which had been left plugged in for years would by now be utterly drained. All my RC life I´ve dutifully unplugged batteries despite the fact that the unit to which the battery´s connected is switched off. Here´s my question; how does current manage to "leak" its way past a switch? I´ve dismantled switches and looked inside - the two metal contacts aren´t touching when the switch is in the "off" position. How does the juice get past?
Bodyshell and possibly the car used to belong to graham allsop. I recognized the paint scheme and inpole stickers. Sent him the link he's had a look and said it deffi was one of his. He's an HB 1/8th team driver now. Fair to say that B 3 won a fair few races
For those that don't know. The Tamiya late model Black Foot. Was a combination of the Subaru Brat and the Ford F150 Ranger. I don't know if they made a re-pop Subaru Brat. But it is the same type of chassis it came with.
its not a fanboy thing, the RWD RC10 with longer front A-arms and suspension tuning is a really nice handling buggy. everyone and their brother have been near cloning it for decades. 2nd gen had the wider fronts with their stealth transmission, you'll find the B3 to be a really nice driver too. the two early Tamiya on road, definite shelf queens to auction off. it'd different if they were good old BoLink (now RJspeed) or Associated on road pan cars that you can still get parts for, really fun to drive on smooth pavement.
I'm not familiar with the RC10, but it does look like a nice bit of kit! I don't do shelf queens.... you may as well just buy a diecast model if it's gonna sit on a shelf
Nice one Phil! I was glued to the screen, waiting for each gem to be revealed! Amazing haul, I would truly be happy to own most of them - as for my favourite, simply ALL of the classic Tamiyas. I'm really looking forward to the run videos that are in the pipeline! :)

Didn't realize it was a collection built over 4 decades! Wowee!
Yeah, the guy bought the Wild Willy in '84/85 and then had been collecting on and off since
You are the Jay Leno of RC! Good luck parting with some of them, i'm sure some of them will be difficult to let go! What a dream buy.

Yes, realised that afterwards. Also wasn't aware it's a pretty rare B3 Factory Team!
Bodyshell and possibly the car used to belong to graham allsop. I recognized the paint scheme and inpole stickers. Sent him the link he's had a look and said it deffi was one of his. He's an HB 1/8th team driver now. Fair to say that B 3 won a fair few races
For those that don't know. The Tamiya late model Black Foot. Was a combination of the Subaru Brat and the Ford F150 Ranger. I don't know if they made a re-pop Subaru Brat. But it is the same type of chassis it came with.
Yes, Tamiya were good at re using chassis' and bodies to make different rigs.
Blinding find that is so awesome you are so lucky
Thanks Martin, it was a good find... but cost me a lot!
its not a fanboy thing, the RWD RC10 with longer front A-arms and suspension tuning is a really nice handling buggy. everyone and their brother have been near cloning it for decades.
2nd gen had the wider fronts with their stealth transmission, you'll find the B3 to be a really nice driver too. the two early Tamiya on road, definite shelf queens to auction off. it'd different if they were good old BoLink (now RJspeed) or Associated on road pan cars that you can still get parts for, really fun to drive on smooth pavement.
I'm not familiar with the RC10, but it does look like a nice bit of kit! I don't do shelf queens.... you may as well just buy a diecast model if it's gonna sit on a shelf
Nice one Phil! I was glued to the screen, waiting for each gem to be revealed! Amazing haul, I would truly be happy to own most of them - as for my favourite, simply ALL of the classic Tamiyas. I'm really looking forward to the run videos that are in the pipeline! :)
Thanks Mark, I knew you would enjoy it! Certified Tamiya Fan! The Hilux is so nice, I've never seen one close up!
Ooohhh the 4tech!
Looking forward to running that
mmmm team associated RC 10 thankyou :D
