This is pretty awesome. I had the RadioShack version of the yellow truck. I recently just bought it again on eBay to rebuild it whenever I have time. This is a pretty cool article about it here. Tandy/Radio Shack 4×4 Off-Roader (1985) – R/C Toy Memories

So, What Have You Done Today? (Vol 2 2025)

I used Tamiya TS-84 Metallic Gold. I masked the spoke parts of the wheels and painted the rest, along with the lower front skid as well. The paint don't hold up from regular driving. Also, the tires peals the paint off as I put them on. I guess because I didn't sand it out for the paint to "grab". The Tamiya TS metallic, however, holds up very well on the chassis (black) and suspension arms (gun metal) without issues. It has been through about 10 packs of 6000mAh 2S pack now on gravel, tarmac, and occasionally crashed onto the pavement and is still looking good. -

Added front yellow LED and roof light bar to my Batmobile. Waiting for new tires and wheels to arrive. -

About 3 days ago... I went to the beach, suppose to take my DT-03 out, but the sand were too deep and the DT-03 is just high-center the entire time. So I took the big dog out instead. And my "big dog" met the real friendly dog. Carmel XRT -

Took out my DT-03 for the first time with the RZ motor in high gear. Not bad at all. Batman First Run -
May be different in the past, but RCKicks currently isn't about the hobby. It's all about clicks and revenue. I've blocked him from being recommended to me in all social media accounts, or whatever I have left. The clickbait and empty reviewing just for the sake of views are really a waste of my time. Also, I left FB more than 5 years ago... Life Quality definitely increased dramatically and exponentially.

Finally finished the overall assembly of my new Super Hotshot (without electronics). So I took some pictures of it with my very first Tamiya: the DT-03 (The Bat Mobile).
