who can name all these R/C's???

[LiveSteamMad]

From from to back of grid as seen at 7 seconds in, we have Subaru Brat , SuperChamp , The Hornet , The Frog, Mitsubishi Pajero , and Fast Attack Vehicle . All original release models of course. All made by Tamiya. Being a Tamiya fan I am obsessed by all these models LOL Cheers, Alistair G.

Are you sure its The Frog? (Is that the one Punky's driving?)

[LiveSteamMad]

@hanspf23 Yes I am very sure indeed that Punky's car is The Frog. Look carefully at the car and also look at the box it comes in (note how they covered up some things like the writing of "The Frog" but still kept the Frog logo and Tamiya's logos visible and it still says "The Frog" above the windscreen (windshield) on the "metal" plate that comes down over the "roll bars" ! I should know, I have 2 re-release Frog's myself. Cheers, LSM.

@hanspf23 Note that it has some hop up parts. You may notice CRP written on the inside cover of that looks to be Mr. Matze's tool box, so I think there are some CRP parts on the cars. Punky's car has hop up front shocks and shock tower and front bumper. Note also the Tamiya hump pack (I have 10 of them NIB LOL) which means you cannot use the body of the driver only the head. BTW also note that Punky isn't driving it, a member of the MRC-Tamiya crew are! Cheers, Alistair G. (LSM)

Had 2 of those cars is 1985...they were fun but needed lots of parts replaced all the time. I see that Tamiya offers some of those very same models today...I bet they worked out the bugs by now. I saw this episode in 1985 only because it was my sister's turn to watch a show and I'm glad I saw it too!

Also, as you can see the real reason for my posting this video is that I am an RC (Radio Controlled) car addict. Cheers, Alistair G. (Live_Steam_Mad)

@LiveSteamMad Yep you got it, these are old school Tamiya classics from the 80's!!! I had the Hornet and the Grasshopper!! My friend had the Silver Fox.Tamiya still sells these cars here in 2011!! they call it their classic line now..LOL Aside from their newer cars on the market today!!!

Triva: Sherrys Grandmother on the show was played by her real life Grandmother.

Even though the frog won. I think the hornet would be the fastest best handling one of the buch. And I have driven them all except for the willys wheeler and the fast attack. My hornet rocked though!
