This turn out excellent. I used to think of Tamiya's as cheesy attempts at hobby class RC vehicles but, the longer I was in the hobby I began to realize that they produce very detailed models. Surprisingly this kit includes aluminum oil-filled shocks. It seems many of their vehicles feature plastic friction dampers, sans oil.
Anyhow, I appreciate looking at the 80s RC cars; even if they are re-releases. It takes me back to when I was a kid and used to play with my first RC cars.
This was back in the early 90s whenI was first discovering hobby-grade RC cars. I really only based that on a couple of models I had seen at the time. Obviously this is not the case as Tamiya does create highly detailed and well engineered models. I mean, look at any of the TRF vehicles. It wasn't until several years later that I realized how extensive their offerings are.
