Our 1980 s dreams have been realized.
Growing up in the 1980s, one of the coolest toys you could possibly own was an RC car, and Japanese company Tamiya built some of the most radical ones around. Those who were into remote-controlled cars back then will fondly remember the Tamiya Wild One; a 1/10th scale sandblaster with heaps of attitude. This little car, first launched in 1985, was so popular that the company re-released it in 2012, and now it makes a third return, only this time you ll actually be able to drive it!
We ve seen people turn full-size vehicles into RC cars such as Bjorn Harms Chevrolet Corvette. Toyota has even paid tribute to Tamiya by building a full-size version of the classic Bruiser Toyota Hilux RC car, but this all-electric banshee looks way cooler than anything we ve ever seen before.
