My mother is spanish and I remember in the early 80s being bought Tamiya model cars (non RC) for Xmas presents and building them over in spain

Born in 1976. Tamiya dominated my childhood. As did the A-Team and Airwolf. I've got A Hornet, Avante, Fox and High Lift Hilux on my shelves and an original Rough Rider in a box somehwere. I'm never really sure where to bash them though 🧐

My mate had a Hornet and I had a Frog. We did epic 10 minute tops races after school on the sports oval. The constant repairs and rebuilds as well as the near useless hopups… great times.

I didn't get into RC until I was 29 years old just a few years ago. One of my first cars was a Tamiya tt02 with the mustang gt4 body. I felt so proud of myself when it was finished. I remember just sitting there looking at it in awe thinking "I built that myself". I'll have a love for these "cheap beginner kits" for the rest of my life

Also, I remember the absolute joy upgrading from a 360 motor to a 540 motor!!!!!

When I was about 9 (1983), I desperately wanted the Tamiya Wild Willy. I saved all of my money and after finally having enough money, I headed to the toy store with my mum to go get one. Only to find out that the advertised price did not include the controller and just the car (until that time I was only familiar with car and controller sold together). I shed some tears and went home without the Wild Willy. As an adult, I bought a nice Traxxas Slash though 🙂.

I just picked up a tamiya super hornet at the local dump ...I took it home and put a 3 cell lipo in it and my radio gear...I couldn't believe it...the car ran perfectly...a 3 cell lipo with an old mechanical speed controller...❤...its now one of my favourites...

I think I can watch videos with Tamiyas 24/7 and never get bored ^^

I’m 55 now, my first Tamiya was a SRB Ranger in’83, the joy of charging for 15 hours for 8? minutes of running with the NiCd hump pack. Happy days 😎

The original Hornet was my first RC Car back in 1987!
Tamiya Fanboy for life!

My LOVE of RC is because of Tamiya I was 5 and was on a Family Vacation out of state in OHIO and saw someone running a Hornet at a Baseball field Hooning and throwing Glorious Rooster Tails EVERYWHERE and it BLEW MY TINY MIND!!! Never got to own a Tamiya but spent my whole youth trying to get whatever second hand Tyco's Nikko's or Radio Shack RC's I could Find it wasn't until 2014 that I managed to get my FIRST hobby Grade RC at a Garage Sale and and it got me comfortable enough to BURN enough money on a NEW Hobby Grade RC and the further BURN of Upgrading it

I was so hoping they'd re-released the Ford Ranger when I saw the thumbnail. My Mum and Dad bought me a Falcon. I've loved Tamiya ever since.

Happy days!
I've been at it since I was 11, saved up pocket money for a Sand Scorcher and loved it. My Brother have the Hornet. Many memories made.
This year I even made my own full kits of an icon, based on Tamiya chassis, 100 of them. A challenge and and a great satisfaction.
Now I'm a Tamiya dealer and custom parts maker.
If only that 11 year old me could see. :)

2:38 that Beatties bag was a blast from the past. I wasn’t expecting that

@fy8moto261 1 year ago

I was born in 1981 and spent so many hours in Beatties Shop next to CA in Blackpool. First it was the grasshopper, then the lunch box. The last Tamiya I bought new (or my Dad did) was a TGX Petrol DTM Chassis. Loved those memories

man i love these tamiya videos! all the footage from the tamiya hq/museum was just awesome

@Acknockout1 1 year ago

Bro just wanted to tell you, and not kissing anyone's ass, but I really think you are doing exactly what you were meant to do in life. For real. I feel the love you have for rc. For someone that loves the hobby, I need to be able to trust a person that has not only the knowledge but that can be completely honest about the product . There is so many people that do these types of videos but you really stand out from the others. But you do a really good job in editing and putting your videos together ,very entertaining, funny , and knowledgeable. So thank you bro. Keep doing what you do

I’m 53 and my first was the Frog - inspired by a mate who had that F truck and a hornet 😀

The unmistakable sound of the Hornets tyres on tarmac, they have a certain bass sound to them. The Hornet was the first what I called real radio controlled car I was introduced to when my brother told me that sisters friends older brother was driving it on the street round the corner. We both rushed out to see this spectacle, waiting for his next drive for what seemed like an eternity, he emerged and set it down the street, that tyre sound was what I remember and that car seemed rapid!

I thought I had been saying it wrong all these years after hearing how you said it. So I was right, its Tamiya, lol... First car I ever had was The Hornet. It had a mechanical speed controller in it. LOVED IT, I was 12 years old and got it for Christmas... Best present ever...
