New Guy

Post by viperchief »

I've been collecting Tamiyas for several years now and thought my collection would consist of them exclusively. Then a buddy of mine said he had an old r/c car he used to race back in '88. Of course I had to look into it! Turned out to be an RC10 in pretty good shape. I have since taken it apart and cleaned it up as well as added a few goodies. What a great car to drive! This is a great site and I look forward to learning more about these sweet buggies!

my wife usually walks in and looks at the shelf and just knows there is more since the last time she counted :lol:
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?
