I'm under 18, not sure about the vintage RC's (care to fill me in on what you mean?) but I do want more RC's though

Status: offline 		I'm not too much older than you (20), and I'm starting to get into older RCs as well. I really enjoy building and working on high quality kits, something you don't see very much anymore. I'd love to see some of todays better cars and trucks offered as kits though, RTR isn't nearly as fun for me.

i dont see why quality and modern cant go together. A quality kit for me is something like an xray. Thats pure quality. Tamiya and all its plastic is good for tons of people, but not the thing for me. I dont want to be stuck in the 80s genre cars.

I recently bought and built a Losi XXX-4 G+ kit, excellent quality parts all around.

Tamiya makes the most competitive electric buggies and touring cars. The 501X and the TRF 416 to name a few...

Status: offline 		the 416, true, but the 501x not so much for some reason, i think its main problem is the price of their competition kits are way over other car prices. but whatever floats your boat, and i know you love tamiyas.
