The Tamiya RC car thread
Discussion
Whilst I mull over whether or not to build the Egress or the Buggy Champ, Tamico had the Wild One Blockhead on offer last week so I decided to buy it with the intention to build and run it. I needed to get the value of the order up to 165 euros so also went for the Tamiya BZ Super Stock motor for the Egress.
I appreciate this is the Tamiya thread but I’ve long hankered after a Team Associated RC10; back in the day I bought a second hand RC10 and it was a massive jump from what I had owned/run before. They re-released them quite a few years ago but those kits fetch ridiculous money on eBay.
More recently they released an RC10 “clear edition”, which bizarrely was really for display only, and then yesterday they announced pre-orders for the proper RC10. It’s not cheap (£320) but for me it will be worth it to relive my childhood. I have friends in Florida so I’ve used their address as it’s US and Canada only for delivery.

Latest acquisition from Tamico arrived today; I ordered it when it was on offer (great deal even with the duty) but it got caught up in customs and I’ve been a way for a few weeks so scheduled delivery for today. Can’t wait to build it; the BZ motor is for my Egress. I was also delighted to get notification that my Team Associated RC10 had shipped…to our friends house in Florida so it’s going to have to wait till September before I get my hands on it. The only other buggy I really want is the Kyosho Turbo Optima, but that is going to have to wait.
