You should start your own RC car brand that is durable as heck. I’m sure it’d be wildly successful. I’d buy one right now!
Yesss
Yeah..but the price is a bit...😂😂,,when his sense of dirt cheap at 4-500 bucks
Same
if your stuff don’t brake, you don’t make money ….
me too, but it has to be durable .. and not fake shit to make money
I agree with the sentiment of building it yourself! It also makes it easier when you wreck it to put it back together.
I was just explaining that to my son. I said way back when before traxxas started the RTR thing you had to build your car out of a box of parts. When it broke there was no need to look up a video on how to fix it because you have already built it from the ground up.
Yeah, I wish I gotten a kit like this the first time I was getting into rc, but now that my dad bought a Tamiya, I get to learn how to build an rc car with him.
I agree. You have a better understanding of how it works
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I have about 21 Tamiya cars Kev. Way more than any other brand I own. I was out of the hobby for around 15 years, but the building and running your RC had such a strong influence on me I bought kits and the rest so my two sons could experience it. That got me back into it.
Fun vid once again.
Jesus... U got a decent income then.. if u just go out and buy a few.. and the other ones Kev shows us... Jesus
If you like building RC kits give Vanquish Products a try. I got a Vanquish VS-410 Pro and it was an awesome build, very high quality.
Great build!
way more than I do.....I've got (unfortunately) a built porsche 959 that I only ran for maybe an hour or two. It'd be worth a king's ransom if I'd left it in the box. I have an original rough rider that was my first basher car, again, unbuilt be worth a fortune. I've got a couple of gas tamiya (one partially built) and a kyosho VR1 corvette (gas) that was my rippper. Took it into the warehouse one day and blew the snot out of it....on smooth polished concrete that thing FLEW and I didn't even put the higher gear in it.
Thats cap 🧢🧢🧢🧢 i will only believe you if you take a picture or a video
Watching this video really brought back memories of building my Tamiya Falcon I got for Christmas one year about 30 some odd years ago. That car was the start of many years of RC love! I even turned that car into a oval carpet racer with heavy modifications and a trinity motor that went up against RC10's of the day. Thank you for all the great memories, it was really great to relive them all while watching you do the same. As always, great video my friend!
Me too bruh, loved the build and dedication.
Same here...loved my Falcon
Just seen a Falcon for sale......£1000!!
Another one of those things you wish you'd never got rid of. I had a Tamiya Super Sabre ~ 34yrs ago 😬
Same here... I got The Falcon as my first car in 1986. I had a paper route and put the car, battery, charger and radio on layaway and saved up for months. The upgraded started with Subaru Brat wheels on the front, Hot Shot wheels reversed on the rear then a technipower and eventually an Mabuchi 240SB motor. Great times!
Also, as a Falcon owner, I assume your experience was similar to mine in that you had "Falcon D Parts" on constant order at the hobby shop because of that stupid little plastic tab breaking where the bumper is held on. Haha
RTR's have a place but you can never beat the satisfaction of building a kit for yourself!
Think you are going to need a brushless setup in that Kev.
FR
TBH I refuse to buy a RTR. There's been a few over the years that weren't available in kit form so I said nope....
I recently built a Element Gatekeeper kit as my first kit and I loved building it.
It’s awesome growing up and being able to afford the toys you couldn’t afford as a kid! You need to be a kid to build this.
My big mitts for hands, I’d just end up frustrated trying to deal with all those small parts, but can definitely see the joy in it.
Great video!
Hey Kev, I run a Tamiya on-road club in the US. Nice to see you build your own! Also, fun to see a brushed motor running against 8.5 brushless, and then coming in where you did in carpet racing was fantastic.
I was 11 when I got an Associated RC10T for Christmas. I had a Tamiya Blackfoot, but had never built an RC car before...I still fondly remember sitting at my little work bench pouring over the instructions and slowly putting it together, and how awesome that first run was. Good times!
Kevin!! You are my rc TH-cam hero. I just ordered my first axial last night. I got the Axail ryft rtr and a bunch of aluminum upgrades. Next maybe a TLR tuned Typhon next but much love from Danville Virginia in the USA 🇺🇸.
Yo, Tyler, Martinsville VA here right near you
That’s pretty cool 😎 I’m on fb
My dream rc car when I was a kid was the Tamiya Cloud Buster.
I remember my first car was The Fox. I totally loved that thing! After the initial build and run I was hooked. I must have assembled and disassembled it dozens of times just to see how fast I could do it. Living in Michigan in the winter there really wasn't much more to do at the time...lol
I was stationed in Korea in '93 and bought a TOP FORCE. It took me all day in the motorpool to build it. One of my favorite all time memories!
Hey Kev!!
My truck when I was younger was the "monster beatle". Lol I overvolted the motor back then and melted it, sure was fun while it lasted.
Boy, have times changed!!!!
Thanks for all the great content!!
Have my Monster beetle still on the shelf all beat up but running strong
As a kid I used to watch rc videos every day and my favourite rc is the Traxxas trx4
It's cool that you can make your child dreams become reality
Tamiya builds are far more interesting that the moden day stuff
For a 20+ year old design it looked like it was so planted and handled really well
Well tamiya was the original racing company before others came on the scene they were really ahead of the time
kyosho gallop mk1 4wds was my 1st and only rc bought new in 1985. watching your content has encouraged me back with an xmaxx. broke it in 20mins but i'm back.
Please do brushless
I remember but still cannot believe how many individual pieces these things used to come in. However bad you wanted to run it, it took hours and hours and hours to put together first! But the satisfaction when you were done and charged up! Wow!
Definitely a lot of fun building your own RC. RTR is great for beginners but it just doesn't compare IMO. Great job racing Kev. 🔥
Idk rtr should be rtb. Ready to break. Either way building own car as your tearing rtr apart in no time to build up
This is a trip down memory lane! Tamiya Nissan King Cab was my first RC. Futaba Radio. No Money left in my pockets. Like you I worked and worked and worked more to pay for it. Thanks Kev!
Hi Kev I was just wondering if there was any upgrades for the feiyue fy08 like body, wheels and suspension
There is
Just Google it mate
Kevin frikkin Talbot. Your racing skill was good. I was impressed for a basher. And that old evo did super well. Hats off for this vid man. Welldone
Finally KEV! I have been waiting for this and you did not cease to amaze!! What a Video!!
I haven’t built a Tamiya since 1982 or 1983, whatever year that the Rough Rider kit was in the Sears Christmas catalog. That is all I wanted that year and being an only child, of course I got it!
I spent all Christmas Day building it and probably part of the next day. I ended up with 3 or 4 cars by the time I turned 16 in 1986 and then didn’t touch another one until 2016! I had retired in March 2016 and by May was looking for more hobbies.
I stopped by the local hobby shop and was blown away by how much the hobby had grown!
I have now spent way more money on RC stuff than I care to admit!
Yes, love watching you build tamiya
When I was a kid I wanted the Tamiya Grasshopper so bad but I never got one. You are the one who convinced me to get the Dumbo transmitter, I used it for almost all my rigs. I got it because my stock transmitter on my trx4 Bronco stopped working and I needed something with a bunch of channels for all the servos on the trx4.
I don't normally comment, but I thought I would this time. Loved this vid!! As a 50-something who saved and saved and still failed to get a Wild Willy, a Frog and a Super Champ, it was great to see someone's dream come to fruition! And I really enjoyed the race bit. Keep 'em coming, Kev |;o)
The frog was THE buggy to have at the time....same as the hot shot. A buddy and I bought 2, I bought the rough rider he got the super champ. The rough rider, really, was a piece of crap. Poorly engineered.
Got off work, put GTR shocks on my wife's Hoss (got it for her yesterday lol) single servo converted my erevo 2.0 to the traxxas 400 servo and was hoping you posted a new video to sit down and watch. I'm glad my hope was right!
Yout got to love those Tamiyas. Just finished building a TA-03RS few days ago.
There are more durable and cheaper cars out there, but building and running a Tamiya is something special everytime.
That was AWESOME Kev 🤗. I built and raced a Tamiya Frog I bought with money saved from delivering newspapers as a young teen 😍. This brought back some great memories. 🍻
Building these Kits is really great, just sitting on a table with lofi music and building it up from start to finish..😍
I wish they all still were. It teaches the user what it is and they are more prepared to repair the inevitable
AWESOME Kev! I still have my original version Tamiya Clod Buster I got as a kid in about 87 or 88. Remember vividly putting it together with my dad and thinking I was king of the rc world with it.
I love building Tamiya kits!! My first Tamiya was a Boomerang back in the day! .....if you go brushless glue your tires on, otherwise the rims will spin a little inside them.
Iv never bought an rc out the box, I build and restore vintage rc's, and that's so I can continue to learn, different car different build style and quality. I even bought the vauxhall astra that nitro magazine were selling in weekly instalments, BECAUSE it was a build. That's part of the fun though, and it looks like you got some satisfaction from doing that kev, nice one.
My parents owned a hobby shop called the hobby box in the early 90's when I was in high-school and I got paid on the weekends to build r/c cars and trucks for people. I have built so many tamiya, kyosho, traxxas and r/c 10's its crazy to think about lol... and yes that is half the fun building your own. My child dream car was the tamiya avante.
Rc car growing up was the Tamiya Super Sabre. The build at age 12 was fascinating, taught me so much...gearing, diffs, shocks etc. Loved that car!
So happy for you finding this and putting it together! I saw a Grasshopper II in one of your shots at the Redfin shop. I had one and loved it, but it was many, many years ago and my mind is blown seeing that they still sell it!
I find it amazing that there are so few kits these days and only for the high end…. Getting a kit was the reason to get a hobby grade RC back in the day, still remember putting together my first RC10…
An older Kyosho should also follow this type of videos..sooooo nostalgic.. thumbs up Kev..
130am here.. was about to go to bed.. but saw notification and couldn't resist.. my Manta Ray must have been the re release based on those bodies.
I remember my first traxxas stam0ede when I was 10 and it would run away when the battery would start dieing and if I got to far. Thats old technology for you. I can't believe tamya gives you that receiver.
When those cars came out, I couldn't afford them either ! So what I did was tell guys that bought them I would assemble their cars for them if they bought me one ! It supported my hobby very well !
Reminds me my Tamiya Terra Scorcher, when i built it back in 1991...The satisfaction on building it by your own is unbeatable!!!
😳WoW, I had no idea how detailed those are. Inserting the ball bearing, I’m very impressed. I could never get one besides Nikko. My reintroduction was from your Wltoy’s Videos. Your videos made me do it all.
Thanks Broski from Indiana.
and i am from india
My childhood dream was the TAMIYA EGRESS.
At this time, Tamiya was on another planet.
They gave birth to the most beautiful RC car EVER. Period.
I had a Tamiya blitzer, I put in a Traxxas 550 brushed motor, xl-5 esc. Tranny can handle it. It kept up with a slash 2wd brushless on a 2's. Them gears in the blitzer tranny are very surprisingly strong. Never tried a Brushless setup in it yet. Someday maybe. I leave that up to Kev Game over 😁👋👋👋
Brings back great memories. I got a Tamiya Avante when they first came out, along with a Schumacher Cat. The build was definitely part of the joy. That being said, now that I’m old balls and too tired/busy for anything, RTR is a godsend. 😆
I think one way you and sparks could get together for a video would be.
A racing course.
A bashing course.
A crawling course.
A mud course.
And a View that needs to be added for for most creative RC.🙏
If there is anything I could do to help just let me know.
You guys have so many cool ideas I'm sure sometimes you run out, just putting it out there.only love and respect 🙏
who?
Built the Clodbuster on my own…it was so satisfying letting it rip around the background for the first time at 13. My dream Tamiya RC car will always be that big ass trucc
Loved building my Tamiya Super Sabre back in the day and I still have it 35 years later! 🤩😄
The Super Sabre was my first proper RC car and build when I was about 12. (34 years ago) . I remember buying it with my Dad at our local model shop so clearly. Wish I still had it.
So many people, since Tamiya, Kyosho etc have done re releases, have finally got that car they wanted as a kid. RTR is nice, but nothing like a nostalgia hit from the 80s, powered by LIPO and brushless from modern day.
Building rigs from the ground up is most definitely an awesome part of the fun! Gets you more attached to the rig!
Saddle packs and mini spike tyres, it’s like a trip down memory lane. I remember 4wd was dominated by the Kyosho Optima Mid and the Schumacher Cat.
My first RC was a Kyosho Optima 4x4 mid engine buggy. Super fun to build and taught me a bunch about how to follow directions and how mechanical components work.
This was also my dream RC as a kid. I only got to appreciate it through the box art. I didn't know what it actually looked like fully assembled. Now I do, thanks to this video
I sometimes admire TH-cam algorithm. Without recommendation I would never have found this amazing channel. Just subbed to you...and I'm enjoying my dream by watching your videos... Long live this channel 👍🙏
Welcome aboard bro!
I remember building my Hotshot in the 80's when i was a kid, but the instructions were only in Japanese, but the pictures/diagrams were great.
I like that you built a legit kit. Proper knod to RC. Old school and what I like about RC.
1:56
I 100% agree. When you build it up yourself, it means a lot more to you as you spend time and effort putting it together to have fun with!
Oh yes....the Manta Ray was my first RC Car. Bought it at 13 years old in 1994 (few weeks later, I was 14)....
Got this car until today and sometimes it is moved...Loved it then, and still love it now...
Welcome to the racing scene Kev. It is true that you need to find the right tracks that don't harbor just "professional" racers. That car looked right at home on that carpet track. If it can handle it, I would look at a 13.5 turn motor as that is the conventional "stock" class.
I have a 13.5 in mine and it runs great
Back in the 90's I was stationed in Japan. The brought vendors on base for a sort of "local businesses" type of thing. I bought a Top Force kit and had an absolute blast with that thing. Both assembling it and running it.
These wrenching videos are my favorite. Glad you are fortunate enough to be able to buy your childhood dream RC car, Kev. Thanks for the content.
I'm glad they still have the old school models.
Thank you for not fast forward the build just what I like cheers Kevin
Great video. I miss going to our club at Barnetby Village hall that was run by Terry who ran the local model shop in Brigg but sadly passed away many years ago.
I tell the younger crowd about building my first RC, an AE RC-10CE. I describe the pre- Stealth transmission (no ball diff back then) and the mechanical speed controll.
Most shake their heads. They fail to understand just how many improvements have been made since the 80s, mostly due to the fact most have never built a kit and only if something breaks do they ever see the inner bits.
There is something special building a kit and you just may have inspired me to get yet another RC.
Can you explain the ball diff dose it slip on porpoise like a slipper clutch or is that how rc cars were back then.
I actually really enjoyed the racing video ! Hoping for a couple more
yes!
Great to see a tamiya build and then the car being raced , so many other channels build but never see them use cars , thumbs up Kevin
Thank you for branching out and doing a Tamiya build! I love bashing and also building Tamiya just to look at lol. Keep up good work Kev!
I loved rc cars when I was a kid in the 90's, my dad got me a kyosho nitro touring car in kit form the same as this, now funnily enough I've got back into rc cars as my son has shown massive interest. Perfect excuse to the missus to spend loads of money essentially as its for "both of us" 😂
I liked building these more than running them, must be why I've had so many over the years. BTW, my first one was The Grasshopper, came with that little 380 motor. When I finally got a 540 motor, I thought I was the king of the world.
Great to see you building a kit, I'm a big tamiya fan just for the fun of building however I can't believe you didn't swap the supplied Tamiya motor for something quicker.
I think he just wanted to live his childhood dream, he already has enough extreme fast ones. And I doubt those gears would hold long with a huge brushless set.
Hey um an RC gear head myself I love this video of yu building that tamiya rc buggy its the greatest most awesome real hobby in the world.
You love to see the notification from Talbot you really do!!
TAMIYA! WOOT WOOT, I have got about 30 Tamiya cars, great to see one being built by the Talboi.
For your shock oil, just use a heat gun or mini torch to sweep across the surface to remove the bubbles. No waiting
I loved the building process of RC cars. RC nitro helicopters were kits as well.
I like Tamiya!! I always wanted the Grasshopper but I ended up getting an Rc10 which I still have!!! That's been nearly 30 years now!
When I was a kid back in the 80's. I got a a Clod Buster for Xmas. My dad and I spent hours assembling it. Good times!
Kit building was great fun..
I built a Supermax from scratch using Unlimited Engineering parts (7075) aluminum
Sweet. Kev I think you should know, I watch your video's to see you BASH RC's. And to learn new things.. just go send it! Haha
Great video kev.
My first rc was also a Manta Ray but the QD (quick drive) version. Even cheaper lol.
I also still have it nearly 30 years later.
Always loved the Tamiya kits, I think you should collect them all and do a build video like this on each one 👌
The manta ray was fantastic! My first build was the bear hawk! Started with 2wheel rig!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm in every vid. It's completely infectious.
You should do more racing with that club. It was a great carpet track setup and it seems like a good community.
I will, just got a propper buggy to build
I remember saving up and buying and building a HotShot. Loved that buggy! I really enjoyed watching your build and rip! Thanks Kev!
Kevin cusps for using a Phillips head screwdriver mate too!old school!!awesome!!!!🇦🇺👍
My first real rc was a TRAXXAS Rustler that I had to build from scratch. I saved up forever to buy it. This just before RTR kits started becoming readily available and way before brushless and lipos were a thing. After the build process was done, I was really glad I was forced to build it cause I learned every last piece of that rustier.
Yes I still have it and yes it still runs
Oh dear, a Manta Ray. I also had one when I was 10 and those plastic gears were so fragile! My dad ended casting a metal drive train for it and that improved the car so much. I was a funny thing to drive, though. I still have it somewhere.
I arrived for the rc. Currently only staying for the monster truck. Lol good vid this. Recent content has been great. 👍
So glad you took the time and buy your childhood dream car. Glad you got to experience this.
Thanks!
I built my savage so myself and loved it. It's still going but it's now brushless.
Only a few upgrades really.
It's taken its fare share of abuse.
Land em right and they should last but it's easier said than done.
Manta Ray was my first car too, 30 years ago, i remember pressing my nose agains my local toy shop‘s window to watch the Tamiya promo film on loop on a tiny CRT tv
YESSS!! A Tamiya! Built a few of them in my day. I really enjoy the builds, but I don't have room for more right now. Have to sell some off, I guess.
I know nothing about RC cars, but this was one of the most satisfying episodes to watch
