R/C around the web…

I read a ton of stuff on the internet every day.  Some of that stuff I end up liking a lot and bookmarking for later.  This new weekly feature highlights those links.

Tamiya is awesome…

I’ve been thinking about doing a scratch-built rc version of this car for a long time.  Tamiya beat me to it.
This is the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 SIX WHEELER 1976 Japan GP.  A new chassis and body design based  on the full scale version from the 1976 F1 series.  All four front wheels are steered by a [...]

Tamiya F103 15th Anniversary kit…

 

Darn you Tamiya for releasing another rc kit that I absolutely want.  The F-1 class in rc has been slowly fading away in recent years here in the USA.  Maybe instead of F-1, companies should think about the Indy/Champ car style for the American market.  Two things that have never really caught on in the [...]


Tamiya Baja King review

After nearly three quarters of a decade away from the R/C hobby, I can finally say I’m back in the game baby!  WOO!  YEAH!  This Christmas I received a gift that keeps on giving, Tamiya’s Baja King kit, which is a very welcome addition to my box of R/C stuff.  This model isn’t the top [...]
