I can't remember what year it was 1989-90? but I remember nearly pleading with my Dad for a Tamiya Bigwig as every time I went to my local model shop I would watch the Tamiya videos saying it was the "ultimate" !!It cost a small fortune back then!!
I wouldn't listen to my bro when he said the rc10 was the best at the time...he was correct -but those disc wheels, technigold motor and shots of sand flying everywhere had corrupted my imagination!! Haha!!
Strange thing is-20 yrs on and I still can't afford a Bigwig!!
I ended up with a 2nd hand hornet as my 1st rc car-I put an MG Brown Dot motor in it and it was mad fast in a straight line-I'd rather not mention the cornering ability!!Was mega fun though
