Tamiya Japan's official manual website

[miramar]

Not complete, but quite good:

http://www.tamiya.com/japan/rc/manuals.htm

As an interesting sidenote, the PDF-files seems to have been compiled from scans too. To me very strange, as Tamiya has got to have the original manual files.

I google-fished (auto-translated) the Japanese text, and it seems that re-selling the files is illegal (for good reasons!), but it doesn't say that it would be illegal to download and upload to another site for free downloading, so if they were made available to all TC visitors (not just paying subscribers) it seems it would be OK to upload them on the TC website. This is however non of my business, and better left to Christ to decide. However, it would save a lot of work not having to scan the files that are still not available on the TC website.

Reminds me that I have to forward to Chris a few manuals I have scanned. Simply forgotten..... [:I]

So that's why Tamiyaclub is so good then? I didn't realise HE was involved!

Well spotted! [:I] Admittedly it was a typo, but an appropriate one if I may say so. [] Within TC, to me "Chris" or "Christ" doesn't make a difference, and I would believe the majority of Tamiya RC-enthusiasts would agree! []

And today, the English version was released:

LOL - that reminds me I've got a stack of new old manuals to add to the site.

I'll sift through that link somewhere and may just add simple links to their hosting for the ones we don't have

cheers

Great link (!), I hope my defiling of the tamiyausa.com servers with mass downloading won't hurt my chances of getting a job there.

Nice one, it's good to see Tamiya are putting up the information on their site.
