Rcian@monster Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Today a guy at work who knew I was into the hobby brought in a little treasure for me, he didn't know what it was and I'm not entirely sure? From the looks of it I'd say early tamiya? But would I be right in saying that this is a "holiday car"? Or something earlier? Please have a look and see what you think. Thanks.

sunny1975lucky Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Brings back memories. That was my first Rc car. I only ran it on a 6v battery but I upgraded the motor to a 540 and that's when things started to break, front arms mainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly123 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Rctophobby is becoming one of the more popular child toys that hit and hit big. Their popularity is not surprising at all. Imagine fulfilling your desire flying a plane without spending an excessive amount of. And the majority of all: without making your foot off the bottom. Now thats a great plus factor if you simply dont wish to risk your life flying with a spinning rotor above your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
