12 years ago & 14k views ! I really enjoyed that, the soft focus made it seem like it was an original Tamiya promo video they used to play on a VCR in the model shops (remember those?) but with out the corny music and the voice over ha ha My friend had the Cheetah when they came out, I was in awe of it with all the working suspension because my folks bought me the other Tamiya Lamborghini ? Yep I had the Countach Competition Special and I still have it with a new body set of course 😉I really enjoyed your video it's made me look forward to getting my Cheetah out for a decent run, I bought it around the time you uploaded this video! I 'm sure I recognise your name from TC 👍

Hi there! Thank you for your great comment, much appreciated!😀 Yes, of course I remember the promo vid's on VCR in the shops, spending hours of watching.... And yes, that's a bit of my purpose when I did these clips though, to have a bit of reminiscing, but for sure to have pure fun as well! And yes, it's definitely worth to go out for a run👍 And cool, you still have the Lambo Comp Special (onroad), awesome vehicle! I once bought the "reissue" from tamtech, still in the box.... And yes, my TC name is "Tamor", but unfortunately not so active for a while, nor here on YT(..) So happy you've enjoyed the clip and all the best to you!😎

Unbelievable a 4/3 vidéo ! I think you were the first to realise quality rc videos ! Tamiya and the rc community must thank you for that.

LOOK at those plastic torsion bars work!! Excellent filming! That's a true classic, from the company that introduced Scale to the R/C World.

What a nice reply! Yes, Tamiya was the first to put drivers in R/C cars, first to design realistic bodies, with Scale type suspensions! I've always been a fan!! 👍👍😎 ~ Carmine

It's amazing that a car as good as this was released nearly 40 years ago. Cool video and nice music selection.

I had one of these. I remember the gear always stripping or coming loose. I never had a speed controller so the full power on didn't do it much good :-/ I had the Lepard A4 tank too around the same time I remember spending hours assembling the track.

Thank you for your nice comment! So you where "in" (this hobby) quite early at the time.... good memories, with all the troubles we had ... you mentioned the SC - we spent a fortune to have a E-SC (electr. Speed Controller) for our Blazing Blazer to avoid gearing damages....:-) - But now, present days, Trouble Shooting became less...which is big fun as well :-) best regards!

My friend had the XR311 which was the same. l swapped it for a Rough Rider which was twice as fast, but the Cheetah would take 4 regular D Cell batteries instead of the battery pack which took all night to recharge. With the D Cell batteries it was very poor though, you had to use the lowest of the three supplied gear sets for it to move at all.
