Documentaries from 80s and 90s?
Can anyone recommend any good documentaries? Particularly for on-road electric?
I have to admit that I've actually watched this one a couple of times. (Luckily I speak a little Japanese
)
*Edit* Can't post url links yet
Search on youtube for "Hirosaka and Masami the Champion Road 2" and scrub to 11m42s & 42m42s
Seeing Mike Reedy and other well known guys of that era in action; trouble shooting motors etc was pretty damn interesting.
I've seen a few other docos on oldschool off-road electric that was good, and another modern one on nitro 1/8 scale off-road was ok... Though seemed to lack the same production quality. Still fun to watch none the less.
I don't know if I'm just looking in the wrong places, but it doesn't seem like there is very much content out there for RC.
I remember my local hobby shop always had a VHS playing of programs like this and filled with adds (just as interesting.) Is there a place where I can find these? I assume someone has uploaded them somewhere...

Cheers for that 
I think I've already seen the last 2.
Was a little disappointed that "A new champion" skipped over all of the engineering details and only focused on driving feel... whatever that is
Speaking of the RC10 though, I forgot to mention that I've already seen "RC10 The Winning Edge with " Jammin ' " Jay Halsey , part 1 of 5 . ex - VHS ."
Now that was full of the nerdy engineering details <3
Gotta see more. Keep the links coming

Not much has really changed to standard geometry layouts throughout the 80-90s, in fact most of the early 2000's were kinda slow too... it wasn't until around 8-10 years ago when innovation had drastically picked up and the industry drastically evolved with the introduction with new battery chemistries, advanced brushless technology, telemetry and frequency hopping radio systems, plus some of the more drastic geometry changes that go against everything old school racers were ever taught.
I'd argue that Tekno has made more technological advancements than any other brand on the market, there are tons of videos out there discussing their geometry which is worth reading up on.
