This is a great topic. I remember charging my 1200mah hump pack for hours and hours just to get 6 mins out of my Pajero. The biggest revelation was the introduction of BEC....no more receiver batteries. I ran that car to death. Great times!

One of my favorite tamiya vid moments was watching the toyota grb jump off a seemingly 20ft drop when in reality it was probably just a couple feet. I looked in amazement as the video paused mid jump....it seemed that this car was indestructible and had every conceivable upgrade. Looking back now and owning a toyota and porsche 959 i realize what a fantastic advertising job tamiya did by capturing the imagination of all the kids back in the day, i also have a bit of a chuckle to myself knowing that poor toyota grb probably smashed to bits at the bottom of that jump. I live in hope that that these two iconic cars will someday be re-released, i think they would be one of the most popular rereleases to date. I'd certainly buy a few.
