    When these things came out, we could only dream of a servo that strong and fast. This brought back all sorts of memories. My first "real" rc was an original RC10T.

    Well done on keeping tabs on your original RC cars. My first was from the very bottom of the Tamiya range (I, too, had to save for ages via a paper round) - some desert vehicle thing whose name I can't even remember. All I remember was how slow and basically useless it was. Fortunately, I had friends who were also into RC and managed to make better selections. I remember a grasshopper and a monster truck. I eventually graduated to a Hotshot, which wasn't just loads better than my previous car, but also had far more articles about it in the magazines, with suggested improvements and aftermarket parts. That was my first real introduction to mechanical things. I remember removing the front drivetrain to save weight and make it faster when racing on grippier surfaces, then putting everything back together to race around at the park, upgrading motors, swapping pinions to optimize gearing, building independent suspension systems to eliminate the front and rear monoshock, etc.
    But mostly, I remember how utterly dishonest the Tamiya marketing materials were, showing cars flying through the air off of steep sand dunes in much the way your xmax is actually capable of today. But those cars were nowhere near being able to do that kind of thing. Not only would those landings have destroyed the suspensions and drivetrains, but they simply weren't fast enough to launch 20 feet into the air as depicted in the videos,. sand flying off the wheels. On any kind of deep sand, they didn't really have enough grunt to get much air at all, and that's with a tiny pinion and aftermarket motor.
    But those experiences are why I enjoy your channel today. I haven't driven an RC car in more than 30 years, but watching you and your friends enjoy them so much has been a really fun revisiting of the past. I've been tempted to go spend a bunch of cash on an xmaxx but I know I'll enjoy it for a short span and then it will end up sitting on a shelf, so I'll just continue to enjoy RC cars vicariously through you. Keep it up!

    My last 2 years of comprehensive school I’d just given up completely, hated it!
    Almost every single lesson me and my mate would get out the tamiya catalogues we kept in bags instead of school books, we had about 5 or 6 from the early to mid 90’s
    Work experience back in 95 we were supposed to go to the local college in chesterfield for the day but instead we went to the old model shops in the town center where we’d spend hours talking to the old bloke behind the counter about all the cars.
    We never made it to the college at all that day, we ended up in the Golden Fleece where we paid another old bloke to buy us our drinks until we were pissed 😁
    The nostalgia from back then runs so deep that as great as todays r/c tech is, it just can’t compete in the same way. You have to have lived it to understand fully what I mean.

    I recently purchased an original Manta Ray to run at my local outside track in the vintage class alongside my DT03 in the DT Class. Manta Ray now has 17.5t brushless motor & HW esc. I’ve rebuilt shocks, gearboxes etc & uprated shock towers, centre drive shaft & steering linkages plus added gearbox strengthening parts. Can’t wait to race it in the spring when the season starts. I race GT12 indoors all year round & I’m looking forward to seeing you race yours again.

    Tamiya got more value for money out of the Manta Ray chassis than anything else, ever. I never had one; I had the Bearhawk, which I later sold to a friend, and then I bought a Vanquish which I still have, in a very upgraded form! A few others in my attic like my Schumacher Storm, the Tamiya Jeep Wrangler and an original Hornet.

I think I was 12 or 13 when I bought the wild dagger after saving some money mowing lawns. At that time it was new. I did sell it eventually wish I never. But I did buy a Mad Bison, basically a nitro version of the wild dagger a couple years after. I still have it new in the box sealed. Some day I may build it I think
