Just for fun, I raced a bone stock (except motor and esc) Falcon in the 2wd stock class in "88. Iwas mostly racing against RC10s and the odd Kyosho. Losi was just coming on the scene. No on in our area had one. I placed usually podium in the B main. Thanks for the memories Glenn.

It´s stunning how early Tamiya had made a cab forward design body with the Terra Scorcher! Love the Terra Scorcher also, but I don´t like the gold wheels on it, I think the white ones matches the decals better.

the first Tamiya car that had the spacejet look, that I remember, was the Thundershot (which basically became the Terra Scorcher). but really they copied Nikko. Nikko had multiple buggies(mostly 1/16 scale) out for at least a year or two earlier, that aesthetically, are the origins of the Thundershot.

I remember when the falcon was released. I looked at it and that's when i determined Tamiya had jumped the shark. It wasn't until a year or so ago when i learned they rereleased the Monster Beetle, my first hobby grade RC car, that I got off my high horse, HAD to buy this kit, and realized Tamiya kits are friggin awesome. I'm still not a fan of the Falcon at all but if you are, Have at it, man! I now have the MB rerelease and VW bus transporter on the M06 chassis. I'm a VW fan and currently restoring a full scale type 2 double cab transporter. Had to have these!

Hey Glenn, just a suggestion if you haven't already tried it - use some rubbing alcohol or an alcohol wipe on the sidewall of your new tires before you paint the letters on with your paint pen. It should help to remove some of the rubber's natural oils and make the application a little easier. 👍 Also, never apply silicone spray before painting. I'm assuming you already knew that though. 😎 Thanks for all your great videos and happy holidays my friend.

The Terra Scorcher looks superb Glen, going to have to get some hicaps for my vintage one when i come to refurb it. Saw one the other day on the legends fb page which had black stripes as opposed to the white ones which looked superb too.....i put some different wheels on mine when i got it years ago, i think they were hotshot wheels which looked superb on too. Will post a vid on the fb wall when i get around to it....i broke the notorious part on the front and my late father took it to work and had an engineer come up with a solution....i'll just describe it as a strap plate which went across the front of the notorious part and had the hinge pins built into it...all made from stainless, possibly the strongest part of the car now....which was a concern because i thought if i had an impact in that area now the forces would be transferred more through the gearbox and rest of the chassis. :)

The most annoying thing about the memories of the Falcon, is that I talked my neighbor back in the late 80s, early 90s, to buy a Falcon, so I could drive my Fox with someone. His dad bought him the car, and we had many years of fun. I ended up moving and dont know what happened to his Falcon, but I still have the same Fox thats a great vintage racer here in Australia! THe reason for it being annoying, is that it was original, and I helped him build it, and never thought it would be a wanted classic like the Fox! Now its just overpriced compared to its $199AUD in the day.
