We also discuss: 🏁 New Tamiya RC models 🔥 The Tamiya Clod Buster re-release 🚗 The latest RC releases and industry news ⚡ Rlaarlo's huge 1/7 scale EVO 💬 Is this the best era of RC? 🏆 RTR vs hobby kits vs race cars ☕ Plenty of completely unscripted RC chat This is Talks Tamiya — not a formal news show, but three RC fans talking about the hobby we love. So grab a coffee, pull up a chair and join the conversation. 👇 What do YOU think? Are we living through the greatest era of RC? Let us know in the comments.
