Borrows screw driver from dad... still has it 30 years later. I dont think thats how borrowing works Kev đ
đ
Ha!
It is between fathers and sons
That's exactly how borrowing works. :D
@@MegaSockenschuss came to say the same! xD
When these things came out, we could only dream of a servo that strong and fast. This brought back all sorts of memories. My first "real" rc was an original RC10T.
Really impressed. I thought the Manta would get monstered but it didn't. Good job Kev. More vintage stuff!
I really wanna go back to the 90s, the vibe of everything was so much better than the world today
Love the vintage racing đđ» Nice driving Kev đđ»
Old cars rule!
I recently found two 2009 Traxxas. A Stampede and Rustler. They have been in storage for 10 years. After a few replacement parts, they run like new.
Same here!
Kev i realy think you should do your own track somewhere. Indoor/Outdoor track whaterver you want. You can build it !!
I think itâs great that you can still relive your childhood dream bro. Truly made it in life for yourself đ€
Awesome! I wish my local clubs would race vintage. They all take things a bit seriously đ
Nice to see some older rcs! Great video Kev!!
I really like watching these indoor race days Kev, It makes me wish I had an indoor track and a Manta Ray.
Vintage racing looks so much fun. We need some fun vintage racing near me.
The dreaming before sleeping was the thing that made me so happy in the 90's!faster motors and stuff,cars 1/8 buggy was my dream
These RC race videos are always so entertaining! It's very niiice!
OMG, i have the same screwdriver i got when i built my 1st Grasshopper over 30 years ago & used it recently to build a Tamiya Dark Impact!
Woo new video from the best
Always a blast watching the videosđđđ
Kev, this might be one of youre best vids. Love these vintage cars and what they can do with a proper driver đ
I remember my old next door neighbour has a super hornet when I was little I'm 41 now and yet to get an RC car myself I think it's going to happen soon just seeing how much fun they are bloody awesome
Well done on keeping tabs on your original RC cars. My first was from the very bottom of the Tamiya range (I, too, had to save for ages via a paper round) - some desert vehicle thing whose name I can't even remember. All I remember was how slow and basically useless it was. Fortunately, I had friends who were also into RC and managed to make better selections. I remember a grasshopper and a monster truck. I eventually graduated to a Hotshot, which wasn't just loads better than my previous car, but also had far more articles about it in the magazines, with suggested improvements and aftermarket parts. That was my first real introduction to mechanical things. I remember removing the front drivetrain to save weight and make it faster when racing on grippier surfaces, then putting everything back together to race around at the park, upgrading motors, swapping pinions to optimize gearing, building independent suspension systems to eliminate the front and rear monoshock, etc.
But mostly, I remember how utterly dishonest the Tamiya marketing materials were, showing cars flying through the air off of steep sand dunes in much the way your xmax is actually capable of today. But those cars were nowhere near being able to do that kind of thing. Not only would those landings have destroyed the suspensions and drivetrains, but they simply weren't fast enough to launch 20 feet into the air as depicted in the videos,. sand flying off the wheels. On any kind of deep sand, they didn't really have enough grunt to get much air at all, and that's with a tiny pinion and aftermarket motor.
But those experiences are why I enjoy your channel today. I haven't driven an RC car in more than 30 years, but watching you and your friends enjoy them so much has been a really fun revisiting of the past. I've been tempted to go spend a bunch of cash on an xmaxx but I know I'll enjoy it for a short span and then it will end up sitting on a shelf, so I'll just continue to enjoy RC cars vicariously through you. Keep it up!
it always makes my day when kev posts
cool 90s rc car and good race to
That Cobra hung well with the 4wd's.
Nice to see Retro rc, brings back memoriesđđ
Wow love the racing videos! Your first race car brings tears! â€â€â€ Just getting into it myself!
Old is gold! Its really only building these old Tamiya cars that hold my interest in RC.
First Associated buggy we had still used the Mechanical Speed Controller. Was so awesome when we first raced it!
Super cool seeing vintage cars running around the track! Cool video!
I think you should start doing more racing videos. It seems rc racing đ is starting to make a come back. I know for sure out here in Arizona
My first rc car was in 1984. It was a team associated RC-10. You Brought back some great memories.
Love this. Brings back so many memories. I used to race a Schumacher Cat and Tamiya Avante way way way back in the day (30+ yrs ago). Holy shit I'm old.
Good vintage car footage. Carpet keeps them nice and clean.
That old Stanley screwdriver fits everything
Hi guys loving the racing videos
Hello Kev you got me into all this rc stuff but now Iâm loving it
Theses vintage racing videos are cool to watch
Dude the Mantaray was also my RC car when i was young. I loved it soo much. And i kept in my name all over the internet since those days đ
đ€©Great video!
I resurrected my original ProCat from 1990, it hadn't been out on a track since 1991, until last week at a Vintage meet in Cardiff.. I was proud as punch to see it running again đ it can still cut the mustard!
My first rc car was a Traxxis TRX3 when they came out in 1993. Loved that car!!
Talbot and coffee! Mornin lookin good already! Thanks for all you do Kev!
I do love it when you do this sort of content. Nice work!
Really enjoyed that, so cool ro see racing like this still going on
Hey kev love the manta Ray thanks man
Good morning Kev. Go live sometime Kev. Would be absolutely epic
I had that car as a kid. I remember building it myself with no help and was so happy to drive it around when I was finished. I may get another to play with.
Awesome Kev.. love all the old Retro RC's great hearing about your Manta Ray :)
nice one kev! I do so enjoy when you go racing. keep the fun coming!
Very good i love rc cars
So cool to see how things have evolved !
Great stuff Kev!!!
Cool looking buggies for sure. Boss cat looked sweet.
Love a bit of old skool! Nice work there Kev
Thats awesome Kev. Great to see more clubs bring back some vintage classes. đđ»đđ»
One vintage car: violated with a file! đđ€Ł
It had it coming!
Good to see more than bashing and breaking.
I remember my first hobby rc was a Tamiya hornet and my servo was a futaba 3003 I had to save up to get a Novak cyclone my son has it now almost 30 years old or more..love this hobby I still have a lunchbox my mom got me for Christmas back in 1989 or so
My last 2 years of comprehensive school Iâd just given up completely, hated it!
Almost every single lesson me and my mate would get out the tamiya catalogues we kept in bags instead of school books, we had about 5 or 6 from the early to mid 90âs
Work experience back in 95 we were supposed to go to the local college in chesterfield for the day but instead we went to the old model shops in the town center where weâd spend hours talking to the old bloke behind the counter about all the cars.
We never made it to the college at all that day, we ended up in the Golden Fleece where we paid another old bloke to buy us our drinks until we were pissed đ
The nostalgia from back then runs so deep that as great as todays r/c tech is, it just canât compete in the same way. You have to have lived it to understand fully what I mean.
I recently purchased an original Manta Ray to run at my local outside track in the vintage class alongside my DT03 in the DT Class. Manta Ray now has 17.5t brushless motor & HW esc. Iâve rebuilt shocks, gearboxes etc & uprated shock towers, centre drive shaft & steering linkages plus added gearbox strengthening parts. Canât wait to race it in the spring when the season starts. I race GT12 indoors all year round & Iâm looking forward to seeing you race yours again.
Kev, you crack me up when you say the motor has some compression. It's an electric combustion engine. đđI know what you're saying, it just sounds funny, lol. Excellent video, buddy! I love vintage RC cars.
Reminds me of my Hotshot my parents bought me when on holiday in Hong Kong, good times.
Tamiya got more value for money out of the Manta Ray chassis than anything else, ever. I never had one; I had the Bearhawk, which I later sold to a friend, and then I bought a Vanquish which I still have, in a very upgraded form! A few others in my attic like my Schumacher Storm, the Tamiya Jeep Wrangler and an original Hornet.
love your videos all ways keep having videos we want to watch :)
Manta Ray Tamiya!
there's also a smaller one for track races
I always love vintage rc cars. I never really owned any as Iâm not too old but I guess the oldest thing I would have owned originally if I kept it was the original Tamiya Wild Dagger
My wild Dagger is nuts it has two vintage Titan Motors in it and it is nuts. It needs some repairs to take it out of retirement.
no need to be old! 24 and got into it last year buying an original Frog, then to find out my Dad actually had one too. Now I have a Kyosho Tomahawk, the Frog, Raider Pro, and scx10ii.. never too young, learn off the roots and enjoy the best era to exist
The oldest thing I have is an esc from some time ago no idea but itâs an old vxl esc
@@add2ndedition663 very cool I wish I had kept mine!
@@sqweezzstr I guess your quite right! I suppose I didnât need to be of age during those great rc years. Iâm actually 34 lol 10 years older then yourself. I think I was 12 or 13 when I bought the wild dagger after saving some money mowing lawns. At that time it was new. I did sell it eventually wish I never. But I did buy a Mad Bison, basically a nitro version of the wild dagger a couple years after. I still have it new in the box sealed. Some day I may build it I think
Sears LOBO was fast as hell back in the day loved that damn thing had a blast with it!
Yes Mate !!! Loving the old School đ
Not matter the vid always look forward to watching Kevin Talbot vids đŻđ„đ
I still have my old Tamiya Dirt Thrasher. Same car as the manta Ray, different body. Was my first real rc car
I recently discovered your channel and have spent hours watching, thanks mate your a legend
Well done mate!
Love your videos keep up the great work đ
Ohhh yess kev let's gooo!!! đđđđ
Love your vidds kev
kev, we love to see these videos! keep up the good work. if you heared this comment that would make my year!! you got me into the hobby and i am so gratful! thankyou
this is really cool kevin
I had the Tamiya Super Hornet, my mate had the grasshopper. I still remember spending the whole night building it and not realising I had the suspension parts mixed up and had to strip it all back haha.
One day I upgraded all the electronics and built a cooling intake, I felt so proud of myself.
Kev if you want good cheap (ish) race motors, go with ruddog
Nice i love it
I had sooo much fun with my Tamiya Hornet & Blackfoot
MANTARAY are hard to come by even in Japan. It is a very valuable machine.
Awesome video really liked it
Love it
Love that video. A lot of memories :)
I still remember some tamiya buggies with The old mechanical speed control... a pain in the a**... 1 servo for steering, another linked to mechanical speed control index. Basically, those old speed control used a long coil wire as Reistance. But electronic speed control changed a lot of things in the world of RC :) :)
Wow. Its like I fell in love with you. Then fell out of love with you. Then back in love. Your love for Tamiya buggies goes straight to the feels.
Great video keV. Lov the racing vids. Great topic too love the vintage 1/10 racers. I too dreamt about all the upgrades I wanted for my thunder shot.
Thundershot was my 1st proper RC back in the day. I remember reading through the Tamiya catalogue at bedtime and it was all so magical!
Love the Tamiya's I just got done building the super clodbuster
Hi Kevin Talbot âșïž brilliant looking car for 30 years old. Iv just bought myself the new ftx ram 3s 1/10 truck watched out for a new video coming soon mate đđđ
You are the best RC care CZcamsr have a great day and merry Christmas
I wanted a Tyco Turbo Hopper with âHeads up Steeringâ so bad, when I was a kid.
Tamiya is the RC car I grew up with you know lunch box, hornet and rc10 aluminum chassis and the grasshopper and I still love them all
That belch at the track had me rolling. XD Great project!
editor chris added that in! haha
Can't believe they've released my Procat again !!!!
Keep pushing in the next competition đ„đ„
That was fun.
Brings back memories. Manta Ray > Top Force > Top Force Evo. Which one you got depended on how much money you had.
You're really getting the hang of it. Tighter racing lines than me if I dare say.
Still got my Tamiya cars in the garage , beatties bags too đđŹđ§
