Tamiya Toyota Hilux: Time For Tea?

If this doesn't make you want an RC car really badly then nothing will

This could have been a PH Ad Break in all honesty but such is the quality of this Tamiya production it had to star in the premier PH video slot. It's simply tremendous.

From the outside advertising appears quite simple: show your product doing what it does best, describe its best features and therefore encourage people to buy one. Simple. Catchy music tends to help. This Tamiya Toyota Hilux advertorial does that almost immediately when 14 RC cars are seen pulling an actual Hilux.

Then it's to the sand dunes and canyons, where the Hilux can be seen testing its ability to climb 45-degree slopes and the making best use of the selectable 4WD. It tackles huge jumps unfazed, wades through axle deep water and continues to surmount all obstacles in its path. A bit like the real one in fact.

Even the technology is interesting. There are three gears selectable from your handheld transmitter, metal construction for durability and water resistant elements so you can continue to play in the rain. As a complete RC novice it makes a very convincing case for buying a remote controlled car. Right now. Maybe it's just the jazzy music.
