    I've watched your series on this build numerous times and recently had an opportunity to purchase this same car so I jumped on it and wow this car I bought is MINT! If it wasn't for your video on this I wouldn't have known how rare and awesome this thing is. Thank you so much for the info and as always great work and keep it going.

      Wow glad you were able to get your hands on one of these. It's an awesome looking and performing RC. Was it NIB or a MINT Built one?

      Unfortunately it was already built but the builder did a great job. No scratches or fingerprints on the chassis or body and the stickers are almost perfect. One of my main things I strive to avoid is fingerprints and scratches. This car will not be driven and will sit in a display as it has all new parts. Even the 01r motor appears to not have been run

    Looks great, love the T-Bird. I sponsored a small part on Billy Standridge’s car in the late 90’s, for the Daytona 500. He drove a T-Bird with the #47 on it. Very cool

      I used to own the trademark for the saying “My Bad” and had a start up t-shirt line. I had no idea what I was doing but I loved going to Daytona every year for the Bush Clash and then back the following week for the 500. Anyway, Billy was running in the Clash that year. Back then drivers had to earn their way in. He had no sponsors on his car so I went and asked him about it. I had a small spot on the c-pillar for $10k and his crews uniforms didn’t show up so I had sweatshirts embroidered for the whole crew along with giving them hats and t-shirts. That was a couple more grand. It was fun and he got my shirts in a couple more stores, but wasn’t worth it business wise but as a race fan, it was money well spent. If you ever watch the videos of Dale Earnhardt given, sorry, I mean finally win the 500, Billy’s crew is one of the first few crews lined up to high five Dale. They’re all in black sweatshirts and jeans or Dickies. Good times, it’s only money, when I got home I made more of it.

    It looks beautiful! I remember looking at these in the old Tower Hobbies catalogs and wanting one! Of course I wanted pretty much every car and truck in there, still do!!! I don't blame you for setting it aside after your run, I would too. To great of a classic car to go beat up, you can get a TT02 and do that type of driving! Great car and thanks for sharing it with us all!

    • @RCRetro
      @RCRetro  2 года назад

      It is actually faster. I wasn't giving it full throttle.. parking lot wasn't big enough and there were rocks....parking lot was just paved and construction took place around the outer perimeter of the lot so there were a lot of pebbles and little rocks. Those foam tires had no grip either. If I punched it off the line... things would spin out.. I had to start off slow and gradually build up speed..

      @RCRetro  2 года назад +1

      It is faster... and it could go faster than what you saw in the video. I wasn't even giving it full throttle...I need a bigger parking lot... the foam tires weren't gripping so I would have too start off slow and gradually increasing throttle...Plus there were a lot of rocks and pebbles in the lot from construction. It got pretty nicked up on the bottom of the chassis. Still looks good through. yes the motor does have adjustable timing....I'm very aware....I have 3 of these motors..but like I said, I was going to take it easy and not go too crazy with it.

    I have the box for that motor with a brand new motor in it still factory sealed never opened in mint condition the box is it even has some clear plastic over the box guess that how they shipped it toy dad when he ordered a few ad backups for racing and no need for heat gun and warm soapy water I do full size racecars that i race oval track with soapy water spray bottle and squeegee but heat gun good idea for rc cars somit sticks faster

    • @RCRetro
      @RCRetro  2 года назад

      Since making this video, a viewer sent me a box for the motor that was in really good condition. Hold onto that motor my friend as it was Tamiya's very first hop up part. I even use the warm soap and water on some of my new RC's that have stickers that are difficult to place. Once I get it to where it needs to be, squeeze out the water and hit with a blow dryer. I'll eventually get a heat gun which should work better.

A collectors item I'm not gonna even use them in any of my RC carpet cars I race but the few vintage Tamiya carpet pan cars I have for oval and road course the one the is open and used I'm gonna put it in for show basically so it's a period correct tamiya oval pan car.

    • @RCRetro
      @RCRetro  2 года назад

      I have 2s Lipo's that fit Tamiya RC's. I have used them when I first started my channel and just ran them on the baseball fields or skatepark. I ran them in the concrete skate park not to bash or jump them, but because the concrete was super smooth. When I met harry and became friends with him and started to use his track and race we all agreed to use NIMH batteries. Perhaps a few running vids this upcoming spring I can try out and use some LIPOs just so we have longer and more consistent run times when filming.
