Thank you! 😊

Thank you! ☺️ I must admit I am wondering why it took me so long to finally add this iconic buggy to the collection.

Thank you! ☺️

It certainly is a lot of fun and makes for some very cool slo mo footage. 😊

Thank you! I've been into still photography for many years, so it helped me when I began to experiment with video. I still have much to learn. I do hope to do a follow up video on my thoughts on the RC10, but with several RC events coming up and new kits arriving, it might be a while. Needless to say, aside from wishing the instructional manual was a bit better, (the one of the 80's is excellent!) the buggy itself is fabulous. I absolutely love it! 😍 And it drives really, really well. It has a charm about it that's hard to pin down. I do wonder why it took me so long to finally get one?! Now I do, I'm hooked. 😊 The only other downside is the poor spares support. Seems getting gearbox internals is tricky. Some parts appear to be discontinued, which is surprising given this year they've released the 40th, the Jay Halsey and the Green Edition is imminent. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you! ☺️

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is most appreciated! ☺️

ありがとうございます　☺️

Thank you! 😊

I planned to run the buggy at a local circuit in their RWD race. The regulation motor is Tamiya GT Tuned. It's not very fast and I could definitely work with the gearing. The latest round was last weekend. Unfortunately I wasn't able to source in time suitable wheels/adapters to allow me to run the regulation tires. Hopefully get that sorted for the next round!

@KaiCityRC Thank you! I hope you get the wheels and tires sorted and find a suitable gearing. Good luck for the races!

Thank you! The gold pan is definitely a great looking RC. 👍 🤩 😎

Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️ Thanks!

The 80's was the best time ever to grow up...I'm totally biased, of course. But it was. 😁

Wow, thank you for the very kind words. ☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Thank you! Autumn is by far the best season to be running RC in the park. 👍

I have an 834B (videos on the channel). It is completely stock though, and while it does OK on carpet, my modified Optima is quicker. I do plan to take two extra buggies (834B for the '85 class and JJ for the '90 class) as backup machines.

Thank you! I wasn't sure if the dark blue metallic would work on the RC10. but in contrasts nicely with the gold alloy and gives the whole car a "premium" feel. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. ☺️

I like the green. If I had the money I'd be tempted to pick one up. But between this, the Plazma mk3 and '87 Ultima I am totally spent up! 😅

@@KaiCityRC​​⁠same here, it’s hard to keep up with all the special edition re-releases when they come out so quickly… I gotta start preparing now for Tamiya’s 50th RC Anniversary in 2026

@@JUMBOs-RC Yes! I think we've all got our wish list ready! Could be a fantastic (and expensive!) year for Tamiya RC enthusiasts. 👍

I don't have any kind of software for that. For most videos I'll use copyright free music as it is less hassle. But in some cases I want a period correct music track for the added nostalgia. I'm fine with having all the ad revenue going to the artists who produced the soundtrack of my childhood. 👍For me, TH-cam isn't about making money. 😌 But if the video will be blocked, pretty much worldwide, there is little point in proceeding. 😥

Thank you!🙏 I am glad this video is receiving such a positive response. The 80's...what a decade! 😁

@@KaiCityRC It was the best decade! I love using 80's and 90's music on my channel, but as you know, copyrighted music complicates things. But your track choice was perfectly aligned with the video. It was a lot of fun.

@@poorboysrc Yeah, it can be a pain at times. I'm fine with giving up the monetization, but when videos get blocked in so many countries it can be really frustrating! 😥

@@KaiCityRC Any idea why it was blocked?

Cheers! My first choice was The Boys of Summer. I felt it matched the footage I had perfectly. 👍 I got quite a lot of footage that day and plan to put together a couple of versions, a slow mo one (this) and a faster paced one.

@@KaiCityRClooking forward to more!🙌

Thanks Addam! 😊 Glad you liked it!

Thank you! I'm finding the RC10 to be a strangely addictive machine. The build process wasn't the best (for me), but the finished product, and more importantly the way it looks and drives are wonderful. 🤩 I can see why people get addicted to them. 😊

どもありがとう　秋に公園で走るのは楽しいです。😊

Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️ I am so happy this video is resonating with my viewers. The response I've been getting has been wonderful. Cheers! 😊

I think so too. Autumn in the park is a great time for RC. Such a shame it is so fleeting. The day after I filmed this, strong winds basically cleared most of the leaves away!

Thanks! Those guys were getting some serious airtime with the buggies. The Scorpion did well! 😀

Thank you!

Thanks! The YZ-4 shocks work pretty well with no modifications. Although, they have a downside - the taller towers put added stress on the screws attaching them to the bulkhead. I actually sheered the metal right off in a recent disagreement with the barrier. 😅

The RC10T looks nice, but it is too expensive over here and I can't justify for the money at the moment.

@@KaiCityRC I understand, I want the Yokomo dog fighter but it is just too expensive. It needs a lot of work to drive right. I will stick with Kyosho and Tamiya. Better value for the money. Thoughts?

After reading your comment I cracked open the box on my Jay Halsey Edition to see if there is a manual, and sure enough there is! Not only that, but some of the part numbers removed from the 40th have returned. It also has a section on completing the body. Oh, happy days! 😁

@ thats good to hear, but still a few weeks to go untill we get them in the uk 😂

@@lo2713 I'd assumed that the US and UK would get the kits long before they showed up here. So it was quite a surprise to learn that Japan was one of the first places they became available. Now, if only they'd start making a complete set of spares available! 😅

@ haha, i know, im just glad they didnt mess about like they did with the 10 T, agreed. Need spares as i want to run my 40th more next year 😎

Oh, I'm really loving the design and looks of the RC10.👍 I've just come back from the latest round in the RWD Cup where once again I lost out to a Vintage RC10! 😁 It took 2nd overall, and I came in 3rd with my modern, "high end" S1RM. The RC10 looked awesome out on the track. 😎

Exactly! Being it is expensive/difficult to get spares here I was trying to be extra careful during the build process not to make any mistakes. And the "manual" wasn't exactly helping!

Ah, so it's not just the RC10 buggy. Although an RC10T is not on my radar, it's useful to know. Thanks!

Agree totally! As AE kits are imported into Japan, we expect to pay a little more for them. But still, the price seems...excessive. 😞

As I hope to run mine, possibly in races, I would have really liked to get the stealth transmission. But that is a very expensive option that I cannot justify at the moment. I'm glad AE are joining others in re-releasing so many of their early machines. I just hope they offer parts support along with them. 😥
