Vintage RC Club
 

Welcome to the Vintage RC Club thread, the place for RC collectors. As Tamiya celebrates its 30th year of their 1st RC car model# 58001 Porsche 934 Turbo produced in 1976, it is about time that we pay homage to our old RC cars sitting rustic and dusting in our cabinets. In this thread we can talk about the old RC cars we have/had; Seach for that vintage RC car you've always wanted as a kid; sell or swap that vintage RC you are willing to part with; join the hunt for the oldest RC model in the Philippines; look around for vintage RC parts, and then maybe when all our vintage RCs are complete and working we can just enjoy together running our vintage RCs just like the old times.

So, dust off that vintage RC and bring it back to life. Lets go retro!

Yeah! real OldSChool. from what year pababa ba? TL-01 ba kasama?

kung 4WD touring cars siguro hanggang TA02 lang. Ilabas na yung mga TA01, TA02 dyan. Lalo na yung favorite ko- FF01. Palumaan ng RC ha, kasama pati controller- stick type.

Uuy ok din yun! dumaan din ako dyan. RC nga namin noon torotot ang contoller eh. pagnawala o nasira (o nalulon :lol: ) na yung hi-tech sonic torotot controller, palakpak pwede na! O, inabot mo ba yun? :sneaky:

haha same tayo pare hindi din ako nakaranas ng rc talaga. pero nakatry ako ng grasshopper or something like that yung tawag para siyang pang buggy or off road pero sobrang sandali lang kasi nasira tapos pinamigay pa yung car ang natira sa akin yung controller hehe... sorry ot na:)

The year 1976, Tamiya had just spent zillions designing & tooling up to make a 1/12th plastic kit of the Porsche Carrera RSR (including buying a 911 for complete stripdown just to get the dimensions right).
The finally finished static kit was selling in reasonable numbers but not yet breakeven... how to sell more?
Whilst the boardmembers mulled... loud droning noise pierced the air:
'That stupid new accounts clerk Fumito Taki, playing with his silly RC airplane', mumbled one.
'Taki-kun is just crazy into all things RC', agreed another.
'Dirty smelly noisy hobby engines', commented a third.
*** 12 months later ***
Tamiya's RA1201, priced at JPY9800 for the kit and approx JPY17000 including radio (an extraordinarily exhorbitant sum in those days), sells over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITS in its First Year!!!
This, from a guy to whom most said 'There you go again, just playing around with your toys again'.
So let this be a lesson - Be Bold, Breakout!

released 7-Nov-83
drive 2wd rear
suspension Coil sprung all round, front indepentant rear solid axle

Virtually identical to the Audi Quattro rally car, difference being the body shell which is another Tamiya masterpiece!! lexan shell with ABS plastic front and rear sections for amazing detail. A great looking model, but lacked the handling of it's full size counterpart.

itong rc na to ka-edad ko na, pero got this 3years ago, some good hearted fellow rc'er gave it to me... :nod:

nitro:
makakatakbo naba bukas yan? takbo din tayo ng vintage bukas. aayusin ko blackfoot ko ngayon naka stick type controller din yun. magpinsan yung chassis natin so halos pareho takbo nyan. Leisure drive lang ha para walang masira. Ganda nga ng body nyan ascona kaso swangit yung combination with chassis. :p :D

HG:
Lupit ng catalogue mo, buhay pa! pero mas matanda tayo dyan. :sweat: San mo nakuha yan?

hehehe, cencya na po pero wala pa to electronics eh, dala ko nalang, para hingi din ako advise pano i-revive to, dont know much about ep kits... pretty much intact pa yung mga diff and drive trains,

pansin mo rin pala yung chassis, hehehe kulang pa sa linis.. hehehe see you tomorrow sir...

Sir, Oldskul ako FF01 ung una kong nabili, tapos ung pinamana sa akin sa controller stick type na Futaba, hanggang ngayon un pa rin ang gagamitin ko sa bago kong rc TT01, hehehe, may off-roader din na kasama Super Sabre pero grabe nabali yung kanakabitan ng front shocks! :smile:

Nice FF01, ano ang body shell nyan? may kalaro ka bukas, naka-FF01 din Volkswagen Golf ang body. Masama ba yung pagkakabali nung shock tower ng Super Sabre? Basta yung bits and pieces hindi nawawala kaya sa mighty bond and epoxy yun. dalhin mo rin bukas para makita natin kung ano magagawa natin.

Hi! gusto ko sana buhayin monster beetle ko, kaso putol na yung left knuckle arm were kaya i can get or any replacement? :cry:
