Your Favourite Tamiya R/C Guidebook Page.

[BangkokBulldog]

As the name suggests, what is your all time favourite page from a Tamiya guidebook.

It probably sounds a bit perverse to people who didn't grow up with Tamiya, maybe along the lines of 'What's your favourite page of Playboy? etc etc"

Anyway, here's mine:

Not an SRB in sight, but I love the look of The Frog & The Grasshopper on this page to this day. I probably drooled over it for a few teen years too.

Pics are courtesy of Lars & Tamiyabase, so apologies if I upset anyone.

Cheers,

Steve.

1982 was the guide book I grew up with.

1982 was the guide book I grew up with.

Me too, but the specific PAGE I recall was the one with both the Cheetah and XR311 (in spite of my desire for the Sand Scorcher). Weird.

I always loved the tyres on the XR311 for some reason - I used to run my Sand Scorcher with them on the front wheels...

The Hotshot page. In the one with the hotshot cover

[Nugget]

83 guide book and the 83 catalogue action page at the back. The scorcher kickin up sand. Awesome.

The Hot Shot front cover guide book.

The Hot Shot was a 3 hole bumper . In the exploded diagram they show the upper rear arms chromed. Further in the guide book it's the revised Hot Shot.

Looked at those pages for hours everyday just dreaming on the Fox & Super Shot,

This is mine, page 55 of the Manta Ray guide book. So many of my favoured RC's in one pic.

Although there were other fantastic pages, hence why the pages were dog eared and ink worn off the ends from flicking through.
