Tamiya RC flashbacks
Man, you guys under 25 or so have no idea what you are missing!
For guys that had their first RC back in the 80's RC heyday, it looks like what was old is new again. Apparently some of these old designs are selling like hotcakes too - probably to people like me that had one.

RE: Tamiya RC flashbacks
oh I remember when I saw the elf (six wheeled rival to F1) on ebay for only $100. I remember seeing a vintage R/C column featuring the orignal saying that it was worth thousands! I didn't know that they were being released so I nearly fell off my chair thinking I could buy it and then sell it again and make like $2000! lol that was funny. I also saw the real car in person. Pretty cool
