I am so fired up to be dealing with Tamiya and The Pastime Business. To kick things off I paid a visit to their HQ. I have actually enjoyed Tamiya considering that I was a kid and making this video bought back many memories from my childhood. Which was your favourite Tamiya RC Vehicle?

    Brilliant trip down memory lane! Always loved Tamiya RC cars – especially the ones you could change the shells/body of in minutes!

    When I was 14 I got the Tamiya Falcon for Christmas. The following year I bought the Boomerang. Then I bought the Schumacher Cat XL. Now I’m a big kid I bought a hpi baja. An amazing kit to build. It has a chainsaw engine!! My last build has been the Lunchbox. Love the Tamiya kits.

    This is taking me back to my youth, as kids my brother and myself had the grasshopper, hornet & big wig. Then I went towards kyosho but always wanted a Schumacher Cat. I bought a petrol rc buggy maybe 18yearsago and loved it

    I was buying Tamiya kits 50 years ago! I’m so glad they’re still going strong.

    The best one was the sand scorcher & rough rider from the early to mid 80’s
    As an 11 year old kid I used to cycle with my sand scorcher tied onto my bicycle rack and a bag full of batteries 8 miles to race it on an off road track at the not so local community centre . ❤❤

    I could relate to everything you said! A trip to Beaties at the weekend was such a treat and I was so jealous of seeing someone coming out of the shop with one of those Beaties bags you could put your RC car in. I would sit and stare into the Tamiya Catalogue for hours and take it everywhere with me. I used to collect and build the static model F1 cars (still got them) I used to scrub the tyres down with sandpaper and dob matt black on the Goodyear logos to make them look worn… (saddo 🙂) Then I saved and bought my first RC car -the Mud Blaster and loved it! (still have it with the old Acoms transmitter) Back when you had a mech speed controller and a giant resistor to burn your finger on. fast forward many years (during the lockdown) I built the Blackfoot and the Blitzer Beetle, still such great fun and brings back so many good memories. I am very tempted to get the Hornet Evo – Great video Ped! (Separate Topic but your recent 992.2 GT3 video is one of the best videos of the year! even the soundtrack alone should be available on spotify – 🙂 – Thank you for such great content!)

    Way back when, I used to go shopping in Luton Arndale and always pop in Beaties. I’d look around the models and at the back of the shop was the Tamiya RC section – on the wall behind the counter on a shelf along with other Tamiya kits (Lancia Delta Intergrale, konghead, Hotshot and the like) was this a TA01 Ford Escort RS Cosworth in blue and yellow Michelin Pilot scheme literally shouting at me- buy me! Buy me! I begged my parents to buy this for me and one birthday they did complete with the Acoms radio equipment. I had a joy building the kit and my dad helped me paint the body shell. I had soo much fun. Model long gone now. I’ve had lots of other Tamiya RC kits – FF01 chassis Impreza wrc, M01 chassis original Mini Cooper Monte Carlo. Tamiya make the best attention to detail kits, best paints (spray or brush).

    My first Tamiya RC was a XR311 (like a hummer) and later I got a Sandscorcher that I also had a Rough Rider body for as well. Loved playing around with them and upgrading in many different ways.

    I had a Rough Rider and then got body shells and wheels to turn it into a Sand Scorcher or Ford Ranger. All aluminium suspension, oil filled dampers, waterproof RC crate etc. Proper stuff.
