This is the most beautiful truck and model on the planet. If only I still had mine. I think I would absolutely still play with it. No shelf Queen, Well probably most of the time it would be a shelf queen. LoL. Thank you for the upload even though this video is old.. lol..
Ein Traum, ich kann gar nicht mehr zählen, wie oft ich so Einen schon auf eBay gesucht habe! Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen! Ich hoffe Du machst aus "Tamiya RC Nostalgia" eine richtige Serie, hat mir sehr gut gefallen!
pinkze he say " just watched a load of RC videos on here but looks like I saved the best till last ! This is a very good tribute to Tamiya as always and a joy to watch , so thank you my You Tube friend Matteo ! "
I love these, and finally after first seeing it on the back of 'Radio Control Models and Electronics' (RCME, a UK RC magazine) in 1981 I got one in 2020.. However its not the first scale RC car by a long long way. The first Tamiya Scale RC would be the Porsche 911 of 1976, the first off road Tamiya Scale RC was the XR311 (1977), by the time of the Hi-Lux there was a whole range including F1 cars. It is almost certainly the first of what we would now call 'Rock Crawlers' I also have an original XR311, Sand Scorcher (I have had this since Christmas 1981! now fully restored). My HiLux is fully original with working speed controller (they are actually very easy to repair, it's all discreet components, mine had some dry joints on the FETs) , the last detail to be acquired is the 4000mAH 6v battery (So I can use it to re case the modern battery it now runs with)
Thank you very much for your feedback! You have a great collection! Of course, it's not the first scale RC car, but in my opinion the first in the subcategory "scaler". This means the design of a RC car is like a real off-road car, like a Hilux, Landrover or Jeep. And in this category the Toyota Hilux 4x4 from Tamiya was the first one, in my opinion.
Awesome look back, Matteo! I was a Junior in High School when this was released..... I am OLD! That is amazing, the technology back then. Locking Hubs and shift on the fly? 😲 Only a very few have that today!! And NOTHING has locking hubs! Incredible piece of History, great video, and a cool soundtrack! Murph
Thank you for a very nice video as always from you. Impressive to see a 30 year old rc so well restored, or it really say a lot about the Tamiya quality when it is this nice after 30 years. They way this Tamiya Hilux is built is only done by Tamiya today, the other brands are not near this quality.

very good explaning of the 3 gear box, costed 600 DM back in the early 80ies, worth now 800 USD and more. Whou could have imagined that? A beauty to keep but not to attach too much to material things, not like me :-) My Hilux will be filmed in some years, I'll start with the light weight rc cars to film and then to sell like the Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin...thx for uploading your excellent explanation movie paired with action. Salute
Que saudades! Era uma bela maquina. Passei dias a construí-la. Não o quis pintar de vermelho, nem por os decalques. Pintei de preto. Fascinava-me o ar autentico desta pick-up. Um dia empreitei-a a um amigo e nunca mais a vi :(
I just love your videos. I am a serious RC hobbyist and love the scale appearance of your videos. Also you have clear voice work when you do build videos.... Great Work!
Sehr schöne Erinnerung! Habe aus der "Zeit" noch den Blazing Blazer (Erstbesitzer) und den Karton .Der Blazer war ja ähnlich aufgebaut,Tamiya verzichtete aber auf den elektronischen Fahrtenregler verbaute aber dafür weichere Sandpaddel Reifen.
crawlervideo Sehr schön! Finde es toll das du sogar noch den Karton hast! Vom Blazer werde ich auch bald ein Video machen, ein Kumpel von mir hat ihn auch noch!
I used to own one like this, but I sold it around 1985 to fund a methanol engine car. I recall the suspension was "a bit" bouncy with the leaf springs and not very good dampers, but the gearbox and drivetrain were great. Also the looks were unmatched for a decade or more.
That os awesome 1981 is the year i was born so its the same age as me 33 and man thats truly remarkable for back then real lockers on the front oh man i have to have a chassis like that for a build
What a great video! I love the combination of studio pieces and beautifully shot outdoor footage - there are some wonderfully period-perfect shots here! The look of the thing is so convincingly "Super 8" cine... With nearly 50% of viewers so far having clicked "like" I´m clearly not alone in thinking that this video is a masterpiece of the amateur rc videomaker´s art : )
Love this truck. I bought it off eBay for $600. It was missing some stuff but I got it up to 95% complete. 2nd doesn't quite work but that deist matter to me. It's a great car for what it is and I feel that was $600 well spent.
Running and under the shell vid all in one cheers buddy loved it didnt realise it had those free wheeling front hubs. A very nice example your using buddy
Hi , really good video, I never have RC when I was kid, now after saw several of your video, which recomended for 1st time pick, bruiser, tundra or hilux, considering price point and assemby/maintenance difficulties, also the aftermarket spareparts. Thank you!
Yes, I think Tamiya is falling in love with hard suspension! :-) Normally I would modify the suspension, but this model we would show in the original condition! Thanks for your comment!
Ahh..super! Das gefällt mir natürlich besonders :-) Konntest Du zum Glück einen von Marco ausleihen :-) ! Klaro, dass Du damit etwas gemächlicher unterwegs warst... Grüsse & auch an Marco (ich sollte mal wieder im Geschäft vorbeikommen....)
Ja stell dir vor, hatte riesen Respekt mit dem Auto zu fahren! Aber bin froh das Marco so ein Vertrauen in mich hatte! Und zum Glück alles gut gegangen!
Ok so how did he ...or she, keep the tires from dry rotting? I mean, even a tire I keep in a sealed bag gets white powder looking signs of drying up. But these original tires are remarkable. Outstanding work whatever they did. Is there any coating I can apply? Like motor oil or Armor-all maybe?
Hallo Matteo, ich habe dich schon länger abonniert und viele deiner tollen Videos gesehen. Deine Kameraführung ist genial, ob nah oder fern immer perfekte Bilder. Hast du einen Kameramann dabei oder wie machst du die fantastischen Aufnahmen?
razr mama Hi, vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar! Bin immer alleine unterwegs, in der rechten Hand halte ich die Kamera und in der linken die Fernsteuerung. Mit der Pistolensteuerung geht das, ich steuere mit dem Daumen das Lenkrad und mit dem Zeigefinger das Gas. So filme und fahre ich gleichzeitig.
Wow Matteo! You did a perfect job filming the legend. I've always wanted one. Do you think Tamiya will ever rerelease this RC? Thanks sharing dude!!! =]
Mit diesem Modell hat Tamiya das Scale Crawler Zeitalter eingeläutet,kein anderer damaliger Hersteller bot so viel scale Realismuss in einem RC Geländewagen.Ich möchte wetten das der User Mirek Trial daraus auch später den ersten RC4WD TF2 entwickelt hatte.
***** You can try to make a Mountain Rider looks more similar as the 4x4 Pick Up, I think smaller tires and set the body a bit more down. But the flatbed of the Mountain Rider is different, maybe you can find the original 4x4 Pick Up body on e-bay or so.
great video witch car is better this or Tamiya Bruiser i wouldn't like to own this car but like seem them driving around cool my cars are the tamiya porsche 959,wild willy m38 hornet,grasshopper,frog thanks for the video what battery do u use in this
Marc Mercer Thank you! But they are really hard to get. Maybe you can find one on ebay or so, but to find one in good condition is not easy and very expensive!
Hi Matteo ! Deine Videos sind immer super genial ! Wahrscheinlich ist der Hilux das schönste Scale Model, welches Tamiya jemals produziert hat. Es wäre schön, wenn du auch ein Video zum Thema Porsche 959 machen könntest ! Grüße Willi
Hi Willi, danke für dein tolles Feedback, freut mich immer wider. Den Porsche 959 hatte ich in den 80ern sogar selber, Aber leider ist der irgendwie auf der Strecke geblieben....
Cooles Video Matteo! Wenn ich mir das Video anschaue, bereue ich es das ich meinen Blackfoot modernisiert habe und vorallem das ich die Schachtel auc 1999 entsorgt habe :)
Damn! I have this model inherited from my grandfather, complete with a vintage wooden futaba controller. sadly the front axle was broken and I cant find the parts anywhere :(
Beautiful car, but extreme hard suspension with almost no articulation, same as the Bruiser and the later F-350 with leaf springs. Stock setup is unacceptable for this type of car.
Unsurprisingly like all tech from the 80s only high quality materials were used as a standard. The same reason Id never buy a modern day amp. Plastic garbage. Same goes for cars but if you manage to find one in a perfect shape it costs a ton.
And thank you for all your videos. This is really one of the best RC channels on ytube and one of the reasons I finally got into the hobby after many years of hesitation.
Just bought one today, together with a Hilux Mountaineer... Going to restore it to perfection. 😁👍🏻
Incredible design and attention to detail for that time. Tamiya was just so groundbreaking.
Yes, it was. Sad the times have changed... 😔
This is the most beautiful truck and model on the planet. If only I still had mine. I think I would absolutely still play with it. No shelf Queen, Well probably most of the time it would be a shelf queen. LoL.
Thank you for the upload even though this video is old.. lol..
Thanks for your nice feedback! 👍😊
Really awesome how this truck is still better than a standard scx10 nowadays!
Thanks, but we have to say, on the trails a modern car like a SCX10 is better, but on this oldies are something magic...
Beautiful restoration! Magnificent model!
Ein Traum, ich kann gar nicht mehr zählen, wie oft ich so Einen schon auf eBay gesucht habe! Vielen Dank fürs Zeigen! Ich hoffe Du machst aus "Tamiya RC Nostalgia" eine richtige Serie, hat mir sehr gut gefallen!
I have just seen two on eBay, one-699 dollars, and one-810 dollars!!!
Vielen Dank, freut mich wenn's gefällt, mal schauen wie sich die Serie entwickelt, was ich noch machen kann...
pinkze he say " just watched a load of RC videos on here but looks like I saved the best till last ! This is a very good tribute to Tamiya as always and a joy to watch , so thank you my You Tube friend Matteo ! "
pinkze Matteo say: Thank you pinkze!
It's great to see some videos of the tube dedicated to vintage tamiya, my first was the bearhawk.
Cool! Thanks for your feedback! 😊👍
that's an awesome truck, you can see just how raw and forceful it looks. it's absolutely immaculate and well cared for. Sweet :)
+Mikey mike Thanks for your nice comment!
I just found mine in the shed.. hasent seen the light of day since probbly 1985... cool truck
That's great! In good condition these are very valuable today. It can be get a good price!

Awesome truck and beautiful video. This bad boy was released on my birthday :)
Looking forward to buying a Tamiya mountain rider soon
RC Tanks 24/7 Thank you! Yes, the mountain rider is very nice!
***** definitely one of my favourites. Saw it advertised on special so I went for it.
Another great video of Tamiya history.
***** Thank you!
Ein wunderbares Auto, immer schön vorsichtig fahren, Bitte! Klasse Info, sehr guter mix zwischen Fahraktion und Erklärungen. TOP
Ja, war ganz schön vorsichtig! Vor allem weil das wertvolle Fahrzeug gar nicht mir gehört!

Awesome look back, Matteo! I was a Junior in High School when this was released..... I am OLD!
That is amazing, the technology back then. Locking Hubs and shift on the fly? 😲 Only a very few have that today!! And NOTHING has locking hubs!
Incredible piece of History, great video, and a cool soundtrack!
Murph
Yes some techniques were on a higher level back then! Thanks Murph!
Thank you for a very nice video as always from you.
Impressive to see a 30 year old rc so well restored, or it really say a lot about the Tamiya quality when it is this nice after 30 years.
They way this Tamiya Hilux is built is only done by Tamiya today, the other brands are not near this quality.
Impressive with wheel hub locking of the diffrensials, hopefully Tamiya make a model with this exlusive feature again.
A super collective car, hopefully they make a re-release faithfully to the original.
Thanks again for a nice presentation as always.
Cheers.

perfektes Video! Faszinierende Technik an einem über 30 Jahre alten Tamiya Hilux! Super gemacht!
Scale Adventures Vielen Dank! Ja, Tamiya hatte schon vor 30 Jahren versucht Modellautos so scale wie möglich zu machen.
Magnificent video, I like the nostalgia for the 80s, furthermore for time(period) he(it) was early very of seen technology!!
KINSHELLA KUSTOMS Nice, thank you!
Thank you!
Great chassis.
Late autumn forest of movie also beautiful.
Thank you!
You built this Truck Exactly just like the 1980’s Tamiya commercial.
Yes, but it's not mine. A friend had restored and build it. 👍😊
Aaaah! Put her back on the shelf, man! :-D
Yes, immediately after cleaning! 👍😊😊
I didn’t know about the possibility to unlock the front wheels.... I hope to own one sooner or later... Thanks for the great video!

looks like a fun truck

Beautiful truck...awesome vid. Too bad Tamiya made such stiff suspensions in the 80s. It's always cool to see the suspension at work in your videos.
Yes, I think Tamiya is falling in love with hard suspension! :-) Normally I would modify the suspension, but this model we would show in the original condition! Thanks for your comment!

Oh, I dont know. For sure its important to keep it in a dark cool place. UV light destroy the rubber and makes it hard.
Super video

Ja, danke! Schade nur das Tamiya in letzter Zeit nichts neues in dieser Richtung auf den Markt bringt. 🤔
Matteo, is it possible to use or mod the Tamiya Bruiser or Mountain rider to look like a Toyota 4x4 pickup truck?

+Matteo's RC Movies hey I got one :) at the start of September and it's almost restored , can't wait to have it working perfect :)
Marc Mercer Great! Congrats!
Hi Matteo, how is the build quality of the first gen tamiya's in comparison with the new cars? Are they still made in Japan? Thanks, Eduard.
The quality is still excellent, same as ever. But not everything is made in Japan. They have a factory in the Philippines also.
Boah will haben xD
Super Auto und TOP Video
Vielen Dank! Ohh schwer zu bekommen und ziemlich teuer!
***** Glaube ich dir
pitstep RC Channel Hab ja auch keinen, der gehört einem Freund, jetzt muss ich ihn wider zurückgeben :-(
Achso hab ich garnicht mit bekommen im Video vor lauter Auto schaun xD
nice one buddy ,
Thanks Joker!
I was going to say get the wheels polished, but it's your friends Hilux, so tell him. Mine only took me 5 hours by hand :) Nice video as always Matteo
Just Me Thank you, I will tell him this! Hard work 5 hours!
Hard work ... no. Sore fingers .... yes :D
Hi Matteo ! Deine Videos sind immer super genial ! Wahrscheinlich ist der Hilux das schönste Scale Model, welches Tamiya jemals produziert hat.
Es wäre schön, wenn du auch ein Video zum Thema Porsche 959 machen könntest !

Hi Willi, danke für dein tolles Feedback, freut mich immer wider. Den Porsche 959 hatte ich in den 80ern sogar selber, Aber leider ist der irgendwie auf der Strecke geblieben....
Cooles Video Matteo!
Wenn ich mir das Video anschaue, bereue ich es das ich meinen Blackfoot modernisiert habe und vorallem das ich die Schachtel auc 1999 entsorgt habe :)
Danke Gery, ja ich bereue auch das ich vieles von dem alten Zeug weggeschmissen habe! Damals war's halt nur alter Kram...
Awesome review as always! Does this truck run on a 540 or 750 motor?
Thanks! It runs on a 540.
Mach bitte mal eine Videoserie in der du anderen (RC)TH-camrn wie und womit man so geile Videos macht.
Meinst du also das sollte ich wirklich? Ok, mal schauen und auf den Plan nehmen...
Seems like that is the only model that was not re-released
Yes, this and the Blazing Blazer, and Porsche 959 and Celica and Opel Ascona.... there are a few more..
Unverständlich eigentlich......kann man den Sand Scorcher jetzt noch bestellen/kaufen oder auch schon wieder nicht mehr?
woaw very nice
***** Thank you Kaza!

can this model be gotten today the red one like that
No, not as new model, but you can find on ebay and other auction pages used models.

What are the 3rd servo used for ?
It’s for gearshift
@@Matteomeier
1. Steering
2. Gear shifting
3. ... ?
Too bad you didn't stick with the old Speed controller.. other than that, it was a great video 😅👍
Thanks Mattias! The original controller was broken, so the owner of the car installed an actual esc. 👍
Matteo!
+Golden Manuever Yes! I'm here!
Very realistic, right down to the bouncy ride and minimal suspension travel provided by the real Hilux 😏
Thanks! Glad you like it! 👍😂
can i buy?
You can get it as second hand, some are available on eBay, but very expensive...
Wow just like owning a real Hilux 4x4 only slightly cheaper and it takes up much less space.
Yes, much cheaper! 😊👍 Thanks!
Beautiful car, but extreme hard suspension with almost no articulation, same as the Bruiser and the later F-350 with leaf springs. Stock setup is unacceptable for this type of car.
Yes, it is! But this is more a museum artifact as an actual car to use! 😂😂
