    I finished up a Clodbuster Black edition a few months ago. Was such a satisfying building experience. The Clod is a truck that I’ve been wanting since I was like 12 back in 88. One of my favorite r/c trucks I own!!!

    • @robb.2387

      Cool, in 80s as well, growing up I had a Blackfoot for many years.

    Can wait. I feel your enjoyment with these kits.

  • @kb1pli
    @kb1pli Před 3 lety +5

    Had one back in the day, the stock 380 motor was ok, but shortly after I put a 540 in it was way better. Loved it. Schooled the radio shack golden arrow lol

    @jasonkraus7442 Před 3 lety

    I had a high school neighbor(Stevie) down the street in my old neighborhood(Kingwood, TX.) in the 80's that had a gas powered Tamiya you could hear running up and down the street every Saturday morning after Kung Fu theater. I will never forget the sound of it; it sounded like a very angry hornet. I think that it was even called "The Hornet." It was fast. it was loud. and it was fun to watch him run it up and down the street. Your love for RCs reminds me of him; he would always talk RC with a smile upon his face, too. And, of the 4 he had, he loved that car the most(he had a chopper he'd take to the soccer fields, a plane he flew at the local middle school, and a boat he'd take to the duck pond). Thanks for bringing back so many memories of my childhood, bro.

  • @alphawlff

    You should get a Kyosho Ultima and Optima and then you will really be impressed.

  • @JXZ2

    Might order a couple kits. Building them is my favorite part of the hobby.

  • @coopersharp2921
    @coopersharp2921 Před 3 lety

    I have an original Tamia frog that my great grandpa had built. He passed it down to my grandpa, and my grandpa had no idea what to do with, so he just put it in a box and stuffed it in the attic. When I got older and into the rc hobby, my grandpa decided to give it for me for my birthday, and I have been trying to restore it. The old mechanical esc's are so cool!

  • @michaelmeek9339
    @michaelmeek9339 Před 2 lety

    I didn’t know they still made these. The Grasshopper was my first RC car. I got it for Christmas in the early to mid 80s. Love your videos.

  • @alfredkalous4403
    @alfredkalous4403 Před 3 lety +1

    I built and paid for my first RC kit in 1985.................The Grass hopper. The 380 motor had to be the first upgrade I ever did to get the GH out of it's preverbal shell.......................after that, RC10 gold pan, whooooohoooooooo!

  • @RC4X4
    @RC4X4 Před 3 lety +2

    I would give the Grasshopper a coat of Tamiya white atleast. It'll look better. The older vintage buggies are excellent to have in a collection. I have built three new Tamiya's in the last month. One of the best was the Land Freeder Quad Track. What a blast to build and drive. I loved it so much I ordered another one to have.

  • @brentanllewellyn3898
    @brentanllewellyn3898 Před 3 lety

    1985, i was 15.

  • @RCRitterFPV

    ** My 1st rc car back in 84.. Mechanical ESC (melted) battery with Tamiya plug, (melted too)

  • @Splinterfpv
    @Splinterfpv Před 3 lety

    Frog , lunchbox and the grasshopper!!! I remember when I those first came out... Dang bud that gave me an instant time warp back to being ten years old👍

  • @jdsrcs8061
    @jdsrcs8061 Před 3 lety +3

    Very cool!!! I wish i still had my Fox I got in 86ish if I remember correctly. It was so much fun to build with my dad. To the guy that stole it, I will find you some day!!!! Great new segment!!!🤘🤘🤘

  • @rwoods911
    @rwoods911 Před 3 lety

    I had a friend with a grasshopper when I was a young teen and I had the Frog and later the Lunchbox. :)

  • @lazy986
    @lazy986 Před 3 lety

    After Cox and Testors planes and cars, The Grasshopper was my very 1st rc experience. Love the feeling of this throwback vid. Man! The stories I could tell.
    Hmm.. Never put the stickers on mine though. I painted the body, had my sister photocopy some rock band logos and clear coated them on. Hey! I was just a kid. Lol
    Love the vid.

  • @markhinkle3234

  • @dstjamesrc6395
    @dstjamesrc6395 Před 2 lety

    The Punky Brewster episode got me in to RC as well. Except I couldn’t afford any of the Tamiya cars back then. In the episode Punky wins a Tamiya Frog and wants to compete in a boys only RC race. The main rival is Ralphie from “A Christmas Story.” Anyways the ep is on Peacock to stream. Lots of old Tamiyas featured in the ep, it’s a great dose of nostalgia. I just bought an old Futaba radio with receiver and servos, it’s 30 years later but I’m going to have a Tamiya Frog!

  • @darrenalmeida1382

    You can paint lexan with non polycarbonate paint.i use aksonobel automotive paint with there vps1 adhesion promoter and it works great 👍. I race with it and have no problems. Just need to make sure the lexan is clean amd dry. With that said. You can't go to hobby lobby or Walmart and get some non polycarbonate spray paint and it work. It will flake off because the paint is not flexible

    I keep struggling with starting on one of the re-issues. 25=30 yrs ago I had real classics: Bruiser, Supershot, Fox, Optima Mid etc. I do miss the basic bashing I could do with those, but they are just so dated design wise compared to today's offerings.....but I am feeling the bug as all I ahve right now are TRX-4's. Great idea for a series though.
