Wow that first model the Toyota truck was something else! I like the way it had high, medium, and low range and shifted in and out of 4 wheel drive.

The 80s were awesome in so many ways. I remember when that Technigold motor came out I desperately wanted one for my Hornet but couldn't afford it. I had to buy the red top RS540 Sprint...even that was £39 which was a huge sum in 1986!!

The RC world just went full circle. Long live Tamiya.

The music was so beautiful back then. The warm grain of the film. Such genious and creative little inventions. Even the packaging was beautiful. The narrator well spoken and mature tone. They had it ALL back then. Time to turn around!

Remember the red Toyota standing in the window of my local hobby store.

Oh man this takes me back! I got an old Tamiya Monster Beetle hanging up in the garage as homage to when I got into R/c as a kid when my dad owned it.

WOW!! Talk about nostalgia. I fortunate enough to be given a new Clod Buster for Christmas when I was like 12. I am 44 now and still have that same Clod all these years later. The original body broke in a barrel roll down a hill before it was even a week old or painted for that matter. Has had a lexan Ford 350 body on it painted like Bigfoot ever since. I have upgraded radios and batteries along the way and now my 12 year old daughter is using it. Thanks for the cool video.
