In 1982 Tamiya embarked on a comical new venture in the 1/10 2wd electric vehicle scene with the Wild Willy. Intentionally disproportional the Willy wasn’t about scale accuracy or speed, this Jeep was designed as a stunt-mobile capable of puling wheelies at will. Constructed entirely of plastic the ...

I just resurrected my Team Associated RC-10 2T Championship buggy from a long slumber and found this forum. Purchased new in 1991 and using an MSC and Futaba controller and electronics. Old NiCD battery holds a charge for about 3 or 4 minutes. So off to get a 3800Mah NiHM Tenergy and charger from Am...

The replica car they built on here to give to brian has the original body from the worlds. I have pics downloaded of it somewhere but not on my phone. I'm pretty sure the "game over" on the wing was also sharpie

Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 for $20 is hard to beat.

In 1992 Tamiya injected some more muscle into their Blackfoot 1/10 electric 2wd monster truck and created the Super Blackfoot.

The stealth is a drop in, but the gear diff trans that he sells requires drilling the motor plate. As long as you get the standard one you are fine

In 1993 Tamiya decided to head out on the highway with their 1/14 electric tractor, the King Hauler. In typical fashion for Tamiya the 'Hauler offered hobbyists static model levels of scale realism in a radio-controlled vehicle. The two foot long, seven-pound road warrior boasted a full-length alumi...
