Hi to everybody on here.
Just registered yesterday as I need a bit of advice. I was in the attic yesterday and found my old RC car. I was given this over 25 years ago and had no real knowledge of Tamiya. I can remember driving it a few times but it got squirreled away when I went to University.
The questions I have are is this a genuine original and how can I tell. Also all the versions I have looked at over the past 24 hours have a different underside with a space for the rechargeable battery pack whereas mine has a AA battery case and a adapter socket for charging on the side (image 4 & 5). Is this usual? Also can it be converted to use rechareable packs?
Finally, if this is genuine can anybody give me a ball park value of how much it is worth including the Controller.
Any other advice or knowledge you could give me about it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Matrix.
