😂 The RC pages used to get read and read and read. It is so nice to go back and read these again as an adult and think about which one I would like to see rereleased next. We are lucky to have so many classic and modern RC choices these days.

@@theoagrc The re-release era is when I stopped collecting and renovating old Tamiya models, tbh that ruined the nostalgia and excitement for me. Part of it was hunting down and sourcing parts, it's like finding diamonds in minecraft, except was harder and even more rewarding 😆 Nowadays I find myself strangely drawn towards the smaller scale 1/18th models for fun, yes a bit fiddly but easier to carry, they make terrain more interesting, take more of a beating and i can fit more on the crowded shelves between the bigger one's 😄 However Tamiya will always hold a special place in my heart, as does beaties from when visited in my childhood ♥

Congratulations on 1k Craig!🎉 A well deserved honor brother! So many beautiful rc’s from years gone and awesome minis as well! I’d love to see the Stadium Blitzer again! Tamiya could sit back and rake in the piles of money from us middle aged folks who now have adult money if they’d bring a lot of these back!👍😊

Too right Jeremy! They need to get a move on though as the competition are stepping up there game! I am eyeing up some of the Kyosho models this year and Tamiya are still stuck in first gear. A Dyna Storm would get my attention or another batch of Super Astutes! Thanks pal 🙌🏻

Hi Craig, oh yes I agree about those cool mini's! The Vanguard caught my eye! Oooh and I had that Cossie Escort from Beatties in 1997! Still got it mate. Love the TA chassis. Wish I could get a TA-03! These page turners are so addictive dude! Great stuff! 😎👊👍

Hey Mark, thanks for watching pal. I had dropped out of the hobby by this point but the shift to road cars from Tamiya was very clear. There are some amazing body shells though which would be great to see revisited if possible!

Blimey Craig..... Firing hard with the videos matey..... finally all caught up! Love these little nostalgic walk throughs. Tamiya released some awesome jr's back then, I bet a lot of those are very collectable now..... and pricey to. I was long gone from the scene by this point, but interesting to see Tamiya really focusing on the touring cars more than anything else. Great to see my BMW 318 STW there, amongst many others on the TAO2 platform! Kinda makes we wonder why I'm finding it so hard to find a brand new old stock TA02 chassis tub to restore my BMW? 🤔 There's only a few light scuffs on it, but I want to bring this one back to show room condition! Would love to see the dyna blaster, Golf VR6 and Mini cooper re released at some point! Cheers for sharing bud. 😊 👍 👍 👍

Hey pal, it was a final push to get to 1000 the other week! I agree with so many TA02 models they should be like TT02s out there!! Perhaps too many of them are still sat on a shelf as a show piece. Maybe in a few more years they’ll be everywhere. I would love to see Tamiya return to the TA02 and put that back out somewhere
@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC

@@theoagrc Well the final push certainly done the job didn't it? Congratulations!! As for the TAO2, I personally think it's leagues ahead of the later TTO2 chassis in general. And yes, do hope they put some re releases out of this chassis for everyone, and also to boost spare parts availability. For now though, I will keep hunting for the new chassis tub..... If I managed to eventually find a Porshe 959 one, I'm sure I will be able to source one of these!! Anyhow, before it's restored it needs to post a time around the figure of eight...... Oh dear! 😂 👍 👍 👍
