Tamiya Celica

[AMikeOnLine]

Just bought one on Ebay for £134. ! In mint condition. The technigold motor is worth £40 on its own. NICE...:)

I used to have one of these, it was fantastic. I've just got hold of a new edition Hotshot.

I remember seeing 2 guys racing one of these and the Porsche 959 back when I likved in HK back in the late 80's.. I was so jealous. These were the ones that came with the Technagold motors which were the bees knees..

[Crackernui]

Yep....what a machine. Built one way back in '88. Still sitting in the shed, with a bung speed controller...makes me want to rev him up again!

[basgetz]

@Crackernui

that piece in your shed is worth a lot of money!!! restore or sell it for hundreds of dollars

[raider1400]

was a great car , but the centre diff was more trouble than it was worth , the 959 got stuck half as often 

[TOYOTACELICATURBO4WD]

I would like so much to find today in an r/c hobby shop a car like this!

[bilbokog60]

Minute 1:13 is great....! so real

[CoolJetta3]

such a good kit

[prosey]

One of the best r/c cars Tamiya ever produced. Now if they re issed this that would be cool!

[staciano]

This old school Tamiya vid is awesome! I just built my 1st kit, a 08 WRX TT-03E chassis. Now I'm hooked and have been buying every rally kit I can find.

[shona44]

tt03 wtf that dont even exist only tt01

[ryapickinup]

I used to have this exact car.. it actually handled great and was awesome fun! If they still had it for sale I would buy one on the drop of a dime!

[reanimate280]

they didnt show the landing at 0:25 becuz it shattered into a thousand little plastic shards ....just kiddin but you do know that most of these kits handled like wet dog turds when you raced them dont you?

[EBTerriers]

You know what i do remeber was that this and its 959 brother was tamiyas fastest out of the box car....these little cars went like shit of a stck !

Untill you hit something lol

[reanimate280]

lol I have a grasshopper re-issue omg I was gonna just keep it original and place it on the shelf...but to hell with that I had to drive it...I put a 15 turn lrp in it and the poor thing cant even drive through low cut grass as smooth as a babys ass...it just gets bouncing, digs its front end in and pole vaults itself into the air ...lol..they should have called it the tumble weed ..or the turdhopper...ahhh good fun they are though

[xismxist]

is it only me or does the voice sounds like vince mcmahon?

[westeh]

@xismxist ...nothing like him.

[webagent90]

damn thats old

[paularai]

Interesting that for an official Tamiya promotional video they seem to be using the orange rims Porsche 959 rims from the Porsche version of the kit.

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL AN RC CAR

[JGWvell]

Had one of these myself. Long time saving for it. Totaled it when driving ice race with homemade spike tyres, technigold engine and max gear ratio. Carried it home as parts in a plasic bag. :D Fantastic car!

[ve240]

I think i will have hunt out a NIB 959 and do the dirty. superb cars.

[yaiknowscrewme]

i had the celica and the 959..both had the tenipower gold motor that made it super fast..

[66wilbur66]

I saved my allowance for a long time to buy one of these... super fast with the slick tires on pavement

[paularai]

Have one of these, classic car
