That was so cool to see! Thanks for letting us have a peek at your history
with RC!
Thanks Matteo, that stirred up some old memories. I wish I’d taken
photos right from when I got my first Tamiya, the Grasshopper 31 years ago,
well it will be 31 years in june. It’s videos like yours, that drive me to
put more up, and make a better job of each one.
Thank you so much for the trip down memory-lane
great video// i got an original Super Champ from a hauling job, only needed
an esc, still running it love these old cars, great to see photos of the
beetle
I was obsessed with Tamiya in the ’80s. The Hornet was my first, followed
by the Lunchbox and the Thundershot, and I love them to this day. Great
video! Subscribed!
Really enjoyed this video! Subscribed!
Thanks for this story!
Nice fotos and nice cars!
Hi Matteo, I’m in my 40’s and my first Tamiya RC car was the Frog also. It
was indeed a kind of magical time for me and a dream to finally own one of
these fantastic RC kits. Some 3-4 years earlier around 1980 I was standing
in our local hobby store watching Tamiya’s promotional video on the Sand
Scorcher and Holiday Buggy. Prior to this I had RC cars from Radio Shack
but they were toys. When I saw the Tamiya RC cars in 1980 I knew I had to
have one. By 84 I had the Frog and I had a blast with that thing. Many more
Tamiya RC cars followed and some non Tamiya too, however Tamiya RC holds a
special place in my heart since it captivated my imagination and thrilled
me as a young lad….
Great video’s Matteo! And thanks for sharing your Tamiya RC beginnings with
us.
aarrgh so many memories!! 🙂 Thanks for uploading this, it’s great to
remember. You guys were already getting some really good photos way back
then.
I had a Fox – always wanted a Hotshot or Boomerang but couldn’t afford it
hahah. Interesting how that original battery size and shape has stayed with
us so long huh… I sure don’ t miss those old mechanical speed controls
though!!
I think you were very lucky with the time period you enjoyed cars, 1986 was
the vintage year for the best cars and you had several of them, Porsche
959, clod and bigwig!, 3 of the best, i can see that you drove them hard as
well!, i never seen a monster beetle so high in the air!!. Excellent video.
10/10.
Einfach genial, hab leider keine Bilder von meinen ersten Autos 🙂 – Hut
ab!
Love this video Matteo. Great days and you clearly had great parents :)
Mateo, your video was very enjoyable, very well done and you took fantastic
photos with everything considering. Being a fan of Tamiya RCs this brings
back many happy memories.
Thank you!
As usual Matteo, another excellent video, I watched the whole thing. That
959 is the most special model. I really want a Brusier or Mountaineer, but
they are very expensive. But I think a Hotshot and Clodbuster might join my
collection soon.
Man i love your videos! This one takes me back because I have owned several
of the very same ones you have. Please continue the nostalgia series of
videos my friend they rock!
Hallo Matteo, einfach genial, Hut ab! Langsam werde ich Fan deiner Videos,
genial aufgenommen, auf den 1. Blick scheints 1:1 und nicht 1:10. Ich hab
da eine Frage! Vor dem Toyota stehen 2 Figuren, wie gross ist das Girl und
woher hast du diese. Ich bin seit Monaten auf der suche, Boys habe ich eine
Menge gefunden.
Vielen Dank und ich freu mich auf’s nächste Video. Gruss Toni
Thank you for sharing ….the nostalgic….. years of childhood with more
screwdrivers and less keyboards..Actually October of 2014 was my 30 years
rc universary and steel active…
Thanks for sharing this Matteo. The video clearly shows how special these
years were for You, a feeling I know very well. Those were the days…
Hey man you got a facebook? your tamiyas and videos are top notch
very very beautiful video men i like the old rc cars and i like the toyota
corolla rc in this video is very beautiful with nice wheels.
It’s something special. I want to show you my early years in RC. 2014 it’s
30 years for me, and 40 years for Tamiya.
Hey Matteo.
Just watched your video,and my god it was sooo coool to watch.
Love it! Liked.and keep up the good work.Best regards from Tamiya fan from
Norway :)
caught in the act, realistically fun +
That was fantastic Matteo. Liked!
Very nice and personal video ;-)
Very nice collection, I too have always quote the monster beetle I’d buy a
kid, I never wanted to part with. Moreover it can be seen in one of my
video “workshop and garage.” It’s beautiful nostalgia ………..
Thanks for sharing your Tamiya retrospective! It certainly brought back
memories of my first purchase in 1984/85: The Tamiya Fox. Today, it sits
proudly on display in my home computer office. Glad to meet another
“old-timer” in the rc hobby 😉 Cheers!
We can see where your passion of film and RC stems from, Matteo! I wish I
had taken more photo’s back in the 80’s of my Tamiya’s. That was a
beautiful look into your RC history and thank you so much for sharing it
with us!
Matteo, always a pleasure to see your videos on youtube!
what a great video. outstanding. Your English is good. Thanks for the
memories! I had the original Clod Buster in 1987!
Thank you for coming out from behind the camera and introducing us to your
incredible rc history. Such an impeccable standard of build, right from the
very beginning! Your early creativity is expressed not only in the
composition of the photos but also in the album itself. It´s astonishing to
think how, in the pre-digital age, we were building, driving and
photographing rc cars (often Tamiyas) in different places and countries all
over the world, having parallel experiences in isolation. I remember lying
in the grass taking nearly a whole film of photos as my girlfriend jumped
my Midnight Pumpkin past me, then going home with no idea whether we´d got
a single useable photo…often we didn´t!
I think it´s testimony to to excellence of this video that it has so far
had eight views and eight “likes”…
sehr sehr gutes video.bin selbst seit 1982 begeisteter tamiya fahrer und
sammler
Sweet Sweet Rc`s back then thanks for sharing :)
Are you italian? Super champ is available today? Where?
Awesome video love going down memory lane thank you for that trip back to
the future great job my friend :-)
i had my first rc back in 1982, Tamiya super champ, don’t make them like
that anymore!
Wow that was an excellent look back on the rc’s. Even back then the
pictures looked great. I have pictures of boomerang and v lunchbox from
that era, I really must find them. Thanks again for sharing your rc history
great video
Awesome Video, I owned the big wig 4×4 racer, it came as a kit with oil
filled damper shocks and a variable pitch 540 or 550 brushed motor. Cool I
raced that buggy around on chicken island in point franks, launching it of
ten foot doons and it was quick….
sehr cooles Video.Gehört auch Mut dazu
Enjoyed it very much. I also keep a photobook of all my cars and it’s
wonderful to look back into every now and then 🙂
It’s great to see the changes and improvements over the years. Thanks for
showing your history and may you continue for at least another 30 years!
Matteo, your contribution to the hobby is fantastic! thank you for taking
the time to share your memories and amazing video’s! :-)
Niezła opowieść Twoje całe życie kręci się woku modeli rc a wiedza na tema
modeli Tamiya jest ogromna .
Hallo Matteo, eine tollte Zeitreise zurück in die 80er. Ich denke jetzt
auch zurück an meinen Hornet und den Celica! Das waren noch Zeiten!
Great idea for a movie.
I wish the next 30 years of great fun!
Grossartig – ich erinnere mich bestens und ich habe auch noch so einen
Ordner! ;-)
(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ Hello!! i can see you clearly.
This is so precious video. I had a great time. this is a surprise that you
saving pictures since boy, also its wonderful editing.
you have many good memories with a good friend…
I remembered the time when played RC with a friend in the days of teens.
thanks to you, i feel happy.
Fantastic video Matteo, I loved it mate. I am now a 42 year old man and I
am so happy that I got to be a child of the 80’s when all these great
Tamiya and Kyosho cars were the best thing ever! Each and every car that
came out was like something new that had never been done before and it was
all so exciting! All the cars these days are just improvements on cars that
were already here. My favorite car that I owned at the time was the Kyosho
Optima and I still have it to this day, although it has been picked apart
for parts over the years. I hear these are quite the collectors model now.
I can see why your vids are so good, I think you have had the love for RC
and photography of RC cars your whole life!
Great work my friend (o;
I really regret that I didn’t photographed my rc cars in the Eighties. Did
own a couple of Tamiya’s like the Can Am Lola, Subaru Brat, Big Wig, Golf
Kamei and a Lotus Formula 1 with a Black motor. Thanks for sharing this!
respect to the man who REALLY LOVE this hobby.
Thank you Matteo for sharing your memories 🙂
As for this special video, it is always fun to see how people get into the
hobby… and get back into it a few years later. Sounds familiar, though 😀
By the way, it seems like you “created” the Super Clod Buster name before
Tamiya did 😀
About your videos in general, they are always very interesting: perfectly
directed to reflect the model, pure demonstrations of your passion and how
much you like your models.
