Damn that's a cool blast from the past video! thanks for posting it! Gotta love the 70's Bruce Lee style elevator song. Tamiya was way ahead of the times back then. Anyone still launch their 3 speeds like this? I've got a shelf queen, but after watching this vid, I wanna take it to the beach and do some offroading.
better recalculate that. the new price of a model-t ford in the teens and 20's was about $400. so you let me know what kind of new car u got in the 70's for $200
1/10th the size, but 1/14th the power. :-( cool video though, and you should have seen the look on the face of the guy that sold one to my friend a year or so ago when my friend told him that it was going to be a runner.
i had the old tamiya frog buggy during 1988. then the yellow beetle big foot 1992. the blackfoot and midnight pumpkin are nice too. now at 30 years old i only play with the tyco drift kings. haha. maybe a nitro cenracing toy soon
I tell ya what.. when you have trucks like the savage and the tmaxx, and still want one of those old tamiyas so bad, it says something.. as far as being realistic and well built, tamiya did it all right. fuckin a. I want one. lol
im one of the lucky ones, i have one, bought off ebay in shattered pieces, and rebuilt over 2 years, its fantastic. better built than todays tamiyas....
As a Kid i always wanted the Hilux, but I ended up with the Grasshopper. Nice Video! Quality and Music like an old Pornmovie. ;) Sometimes the pickup look like a real car.
Tamiya did what no one does now... Build realism into their RC's. They look just like the real thing, rather than the mutant, huge tired rc's of today. Sure, some prefer just performance, but some prefer the realism of vintage rc.
they wernt that great guys! as they were allways plagued by gearbox and axel problems,allthough they went well when going well, [if you get what i mean]
I never claimed they were the best performing or most reliable... They were the best LOOKING, most realistic. Realism doesn't make for the best performance, however.
go the almighty 1980's Lux

I'm a little confused, is the Tamiya Bruiser the same thing as the Hilux or Mountaineer? Which is which? Or are they all the same truck model?
