do you guys remember the RC10? this thing leaked oil and fell apart often, but was a super machine vs all the tamiya buggies out there atleast at the time. :D

You know what's seemingly big now? Rock crawling with R/C. My buddy had one for a while. Was pretty neat.

hummm... i think tamiya had that land rover (defender?) that would be perfect. :icon17:

Yeah, but you don't see Yokomo around much.

There's that Japanese factory driver that makes it to the big events with his Yokomo, but that's the only one I've ever seen.

Back when I raced there were maybe two. One from a guy who just wanted to be different, but the hobby shops never had parts, and the other from another factory driver (probably the same Japanese guy) that only showed up for the Cactus Classic race.

oh yah, bruiser. :tup: i remember that one. was super expensive at the time. :D


yah, i had a grasshopper that i won at one of the races. had 380 motor too... a hump-back 7.2v would last like 1hr. :wtf2:

Not a popular choice since the retirement of Masami Hirosaka (広坂正美)

Their TC kit is still one of the best also most expensive on the market. :tup:
