Vintage Tamiya Wild One & How It Defines My RC Journey

- Опубліковано 10 лип 2024
- I make video's of RC's cars from the Golden era and in this video I show my original 1985 Tamiya Wild One with a Technigold motor installed and explain how this buggy ignited my passion for RC and why it will always be my favourite RC car of all time.

The Wild One is the ultimate cool buggy. I love mine.
Same page 👊🏼😎
100% agreed the wild one is the best looking RC of all time
😎👍🏻Nice one, thanks for watching.
I very recently baught myself a wild one re-release, I had the fast attack vehicle back in 2012 and absolutely adored it. Unfortunately I sold it because I couldn't afford to fix it. But now I have my wild one, and I would not change it for any other buggy on the market.
Love it! That's awesome! 👍🏻
Love vintage RC cars!
👍🏻
Keep’em coming ;) a very nostalgic watch that. I love stories connected to why we are passionate about things. Your video really brought that home. You have a very nice vintage wild one and I’d leave it alone as it’s like that only once and the vintage body in box is a nice thing to have. ;) top job
Thanks Andy, I agree....leave it as is and enjoy the rerelease. Appreciate the the feedback. 👍🏻
Thank you for the great video! Watching it reminds me of my first non-Tamiya RC, a Nikko Turbo Panther / Frame Buggy with that same cool push up to the top right stick shift full speed option. Watching the other boys from school I so wished I had a Tamiya or Kyosho too.
Brilliant, thanks for sharing that with me. 🙏🏻
Another hit ! ;) lovely nostalgic video you’ve done there, really enjoyed it as per usual. Keep up the awesome work :)
Thanks Andy 😁
Hi Damian, what another fine video you have created here, I love the nostalgia in this one, it took me back, too! What a coincidence, I also had a Jet Hopper, my first real RC car! After that came the Monster Beetle so that is obviously my fave RC with the fondest memories. As you know I have the Wild One re-re and the Blockhead version. With a 3000mAh NiMh or one of those Zeee 4200mAh LiPo's (you showed the NiMh but the LiPo version is the same size or maybe a little smaller, I recently got a couple off Amazon) you can actually route the battery cable inside the chassis through that hole. Anyways, thanks for the very enjoyable video and wishing you a great weekend! 😎👌👍
Thanks for the feedback Mark. I will take a look at those batteries, appreciate that 👍🏻 This video isn't what I actually had planned to do but ended up this way naturally. My FAV video will be the one I had actually first thought of doing but that is yet to come. Many thanks always and your MB is a YT legend RC for me. 👍🏻
Love the wild one 😊
Nothing else looks so good for me 👍🏻
Great presentation Damian, bringing back sweet memories. Back to the Future? Maybe you'll build the second body for the shelf and use the old one for running?
Thank you, good idea but I don't want to disturb that body kit. I will build the release I have and keep my original as it with the new body kit kept in tits box. Just means more to me that way. Thanks again 👍🏻
Awesome video! Love walking through the 80’s footage and the battery history. So many changes. I do miss my original hump pack that perfectly fit into many Tamiya cars including my original ORV Blackfoot. The Tyco Turbo Hopper was my first ever RC…loved it and but the time I’d finished with it the rear wheels were slicks. First ever “real” RC I ever saw was the fast attack and that got me exploring real RC cars and the Blackfoot was the result. Anyway..awesome vid!
Thanks , appreciate it 👍🏻 That Turbo Hopper, Jet Hopper, depending where you lived or what brand it was released under is quite sought after now.Good to hear from someone else who had one. Talking of tires, a guy on one of the FB groups is 3D printing them. Mine is long gone now.
What an awesome RC car and video Dusty. ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Thanks, I appreciate it. 🙏🏻
A contemporary 7.2V hump pack will enable you to hide the wires and connectors in the chassis completely👍🏻
There’s lots on eBay and they have decent milliamp ratings (usually around 3300).
Great point 👍🏻 I appreciate it.l and thanks for watching.
My pleasure.
It’s always best to share useful knowledge 😎👍🏻
Hey a great well thought out video Damian. Bet it took an age to get all this together. Ha, drunk me 🤣😂🍺🍺 Very funny! The clock is in Back to the Future. I think I talked about using that same battery in the Wild One build video too. Visible battery wires are one of my pet hates so I always try to hide them as best as I can. That shorty pack also fits in the lunchbox and because the wires point up they are fairly hidden. Enjoy the re re kit. Like you say one of the best looking Tamiya RC's for sure and super fun handling. Best wishes mate 😁👍👍
First thing, glad you are still talking to me lol We both appreciate a real ale don't we. I was actually drinking some ale myself when I was slowing your video down so I could see how the wires disappeared so well for you, that was when inspiration hit.
Full points for the clock and that being my favourite movie of all time being released the same year as the Wild One. 👍🏻
Video did take a long time and I didn't really plan it but it kind of evolved in to a bit of a story.
The video I was actually going to make will be coming soon and hopefully less effort lol
Thanks for watching and being so cool as always 👍🏻
P.S. great information on the battery added in your comment, that is great to know.
That was a well done video. Good back history.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I am still chilling out to your mini crawler videos. You do awesome stuff. Usually watch on the TV so don't comment much. You said you had a few negative comments on some vids and sorry to hear that as you do nothing but share the hobby and show a wide variety of cool content. I liked how that cracked paint job came out by the way 😉
Fantastic content within this video!
Where to start?🤔
The clock? That’s got to be a BTTF reference!
I really enjoyed hearing your story and journey with the Wild One! I love hearing backstories like this!
My all time favorite has to be the Hornet (for sentimental reasons). I did a video on it a couple years back.
Excellent video Damian, thank you for sharing!👍😊
Thanks and I do remember your video about the Hornet. The story stuck with me 🙏🏻 Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Hey buddy, great video ! My first rc was a Nikko black fox, that had the mock turbo switch to ( what a let down lol ) I bought a FAV in lockdown had loads of fun with it, started to rebuild it last year, this video has got me keen and I’ve just ordered some bits for it to get it finished, the wild one is definitely superior to the fav, but I do like the military look 👍
My FAV should be done soon. It is a custom one though but I do plan on the military one in the future. Glad this got you in the mood. Can't wait to run my FAV and get a video done of it. Keep me in the loop with yours 👍🏻
@@DustyFingersRC thanks buddy, will do, looking forward to seeing your custom one 👍
Going back in time... Or is that back to the future??? LOL Awesome video!!!
Good to see the clock was so recognisable to everyone who watched this far. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Fantastic work as always, and now you're making me want one again (I never had one). I really wanted one when the Blockhead version was out, but even though I like those colours, it's the original I want. And at that time you couldn't get them, or I would have got the kit. I think they've re-released them again now, though... 😬
Thanks, appreciate it. I got a load of parts over the years so I think I can build 2 more, one is almost done (FAV) and I have the re re Wild One as I agree with you, that looks better than the Blockhead version. I actually had the BH but sold it as when they brought out the HS2 in the same colour that killed it for me. Got a bit sick of seeing it.
เป็นรถที่เจ๋งมาก สนับสนุนเต็มที่ 👍
Bless you 🙏🏻😇
Groudhogdaaaay😂❤
Well done ,✅ Thanks for watching, appreciated. 😁
What a nice story, Damian! I don't remember the Wild One, but I do remember a friend of mine had an FAV, and I was so impressed with it. I even remember to this day, it was the aluminium parts that made it look and feel so professional to me. I had a Striker, all plastic, and to me the FAV was such a premium kit.
You took good care of that old buggy, looks nice. So you got a new one for running?
That's good to hear about your infatuation with the FAV.👍🏻 I have the rerelease build and about to finish up the FAV. This summer 😎
great video. 😊👍
Thanks Dom 😁
@@DustyFingersRC yeah mate , your videos are top notch 👍
Appreciate that, I spend a lot of time on them, when I get the time that is. Viewer retention is a challenge though. Thanks again.
