The Iconic RC Revival is one of the UK's best race meets. 2wd and 4wd cars from as far back as the 1970's, this is an opportunity to dust of those legendary RC cars from the golden era of RC and race them against like minded people.
Carl races his Tamiya Hotshot in the 4WD 1977-85 class. It was not without incident.
This event took place at Broxtowe model car clubs outdoor astro track with a bit of grass on the side.
Over 120 drivers took to the track each day with the 2wd on saturday and the 4wd on sunday.
The weather was kind for us on sunday which made for some great racing, whereas for most tyre selection and car setup was the topic of conversation, the popalong car was stock out the box all the way... with the exception of a team powers motor to replace the stock silver can.

I had a HotSnot back in the day. Hop up parts, bearings, shocks, 360T motor, and it was pretty nice. Buddy had a Kyosho Optima with a 480G motor, and it was still able to take him at the local track. Uh, local track was a school yard we converted, lol.

I chuckled when I saw you tape the front bumper,, my bumper had both sides broken and a large pull tie holding the remaining center part on for years until I remembered to actually ordered a spare. Funny thing the spare was only £12.00 🤣🤣 fantastic seeing the older buggies rip round 👍👍

@Luke-en2tk Жыл бұрын

That looked great fun guys, I started racing with a Tamiya Manta Ray indoors and it kept breaking. Tamiya plastics don't tend to flex much so only ran it for a few weeks before buying a second hand Kyosho Lazer ZX off one of the club guys. I ran the Lazer for quite a while which got upgraded to a ZXR and won lots of races at club level with it. After that it was the Schumacher Cat 2000 which was a game changer at the time, what a car that was.

There is a massive difference in the drivability of the cars from the 1980s The hobby evolved a lot during that time .
