HI!... It was nice out today so I decided to do a little BigWig photoshoot. These are my Tamiya BigWigs. One of my all time favorite Tamiya cars. Bought a new one when I was 12. And yes, there are 9 of them.

Awesome!!!

The group photos kinda remind me of the old Tamiya video with a fleet of Toyota Hilux Pickup Trucks pulling a full-size (1:1) Toyota Hilux!

Very nice collection! My favorite one in your collection is the black sheep of the family!

amazing!

I still have mine. memories indeed!

Nice collection and photo arrangements! I too liked the all blacked out one the best!

HI!... Since so many people like the BigWig "Shadow Edition", here is the link to the build.

Nice car! I think bigwig mostly rare part is moon craft gold plated wheel set

Do you run any of these? Just curious if they drive with the same ill-handling characteristics of the Grasshopper, Hornet.....um well pretty much any of the Tamiya cars.

That sure is a lot of Bigwigs.

Have you ever looked for the Firefox clone? One sold a couple months back on eBay, I still remember the rcca review of it. It was sold by Robbe back then. Here is the eBay number if you want to check out the pics

HI!... Seabass. I run the aluminum chassis one. The rest are shelf queens. I used to race at a local track back in the mid to late 80's with a modded Bigwig. I won a lot. It out handled most cars I was racing with at the time, but mine was modded.

HI!... GOMACHV : That's pretty neat. Never seen that clone before.

that forefox clone even has dogbones!

Pretty cool! My first 4wd was a BigWig. Would love to refurb one some day.

Check this out, tell me this wasn't Bigwig inspired!
