No Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath for you? Not a guitar fan? :lol: The 70's had lots of brass bands, and orchestra style arrangements, those are entertaining to revisit. I dig a good lead guitar, but I'm... selective... with 70's music. I like Paranoid and Zoso (IV) in particular but as a decade ove...

In 1985 Tamiya offered a nearly all new version of their Hilux 1/10 4wd electric truck which they named the Bruiser. Utilizing the same attention to scale realism the Bruiser wasn't just a rebodied Hilux, it rode on a redesigned pair of drop rails connected by updated crossmembers to create its ladd...

The more people race them the fewer mint in box examples will exist, driving their price up compared to intentionally collectable versions, of which there'll be more mint in box examples because it was marketed as collectable from the start. It's why a Beetles lunch box goes for $3500 while a Frankl...

After Tooky's Cindi Lauper confession I don't think your rep is the one in question.

Liked the Wurlitzer/Rhodes keyboard synth 70's stuff too, this one is stuck from 3 or 4 years old, can hear this one in a quiet room still :lol: The synth keyboards for Rockford were awesome. But, hands down the best use of a harmonica in a TV theme song, ever :lol: Got the front bumpers swapped. T...

For favorite blues harp in a TV theme, I have to vote for this one :lol: The shabby junkyard front tire I have, will work until I can find a replacement. The glycerin put it back in decent shape, the other stuff seals the moisture in. Will see how that tire looks tomorrow, going to soak it in more ...

In 1985 Tamiya would give racers and hobbyists yet another choice in off-road buggy's with their new 1/10 electric 2wd Fox. Unique in not only its Hotshot influenced construction but for being one of the few Tamiya models without a successor the Fox would feature a two-piece ABS clamshell chassis th...

In 1985 Tamiya launched the Hotshot as their first foray into the 1/10 4wd electric off-road buggy ranks. Distinctive in many ways the Hotshot and its two-piece ABS clamshell chassis rode on a four-wheel independent suspension system with long ball joint double a-arms up front supporting red plastic...

I get the feeling you were the friend in elementary school who strapped packages of bottle rockets to his toys cars on the Forth of July... ...Pshhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo BOOM! clanketyclanketyclankety.... :lol: Name just about picks itself... the BOOM BOX Pick one up for yourself today: Boom Box.jpg

Associated RC10 re-releases... twice the price they were in the 90's for 35-year-old tech from Taiwan... Buy a Traxxas and get the same thing for half the price. :P In all seriousness I don't think the slowing of RC Tech is a matter of cultural lag as much as the hobby maturing to the point advances...

Ooo, I do like a good actually... the word is almost always followed by something you didn't know. The Buddy RC kit is a lot smaller than the conversions from a decade ago so, that's an advancement.

In 1986 Tamiya would release their third 1/10 4wd electric off-road buggy, called the Bigwig. An evolution of the Hotshot buggy the Bigwig was equipped with a wide molded ABS plastic tub chassis that allowed the transverse battery to be installed from the top, keeping it out of harm's way. Sporting ...

In 1986 Tamiya released an updated version of their Hotshot 1/10 4wd electric off-road buggy, called the Supershot. Using the same two-piece ABS clamshell chassis and four-wheel independent suspension system with long ball joint double a-arms up front and shorter double a-arms out back, albeit with ...
