I had one of these back in 2005 when I was in England. The clutch went and it was impossible to find the parts to repair the clutch as it was automatic with a manual stick.
Thank you for posting this video. I have never seen it before but it is a wonderful stroll down memory lane for me as I, unknowingly back then, was a full on participant in what is today known as the "Golden Age Of R/C." This video just shows what R/Cing with your buddies was like back in the day. Of course, neither I nor any of my buddies had a huge, custom made 1/10 scale course to drive our trucks on so we had to settle for someone's yard or the local park. We still always had an absolute blast though. The video also shows that we did indeed bash on our Tamiya trucks back then too. Nobody had any idea that they would one day be called "vintage" and "collectable" and demand sky-high prices several decades later. Unfortunately, none of us kids had that kind of foresight. Oh well - we massively decreased the future resale value of our Tamiya R/C rucks but we sure had a lot of fun doing it! I am getting my Tamiya R/C trucks (mostly Clod Busters and Bull Heads) out of long term storage, dusting them off, and restoring them so I can drive them again. The trucks are the exact same but the times sure have changed a lot. The radio and battery technology has changed drastically so I have a lot of catching up to do. I don't know though...I still love my old trusty Futaba Magnum 2PD radio. The newer radios feel so cheap and flimsy compared to my old Magnum that was made so incredibly sturdy. I doubt that I will replace it even though new radios are so much "better" on paper. Thanks again for the walk down memory lane. The "Golden Age Of R/C" was a great time!
Did they realize all the monster trucks are actually clod buster just different bodies. The king cab is not 4wd as they say either. Super cool track. It crushes all tracks made today.
@@mediacityavid like in ontario canada? But back in 1991 there was no youtube..haha where did you sell that vhs? It was sold in hobby shops? Now we have people filming rc car chases just like in the movies. Epic.
@@globyboulga1045 The VHS was distributed by DD in the UK. We also sold the videos via Mail Order. I'm also the Ken Burns from the Octopussy On Set Movie Extras on the DVD & Blu Ray. Check it out
Die Halbautomatik verhält sich wie ein Opa (oder es hängt von ihrem Gasfuß ab...) - mit erhöhter Drehzahl in die Gänge rein. Und ich weiß nicht ob das dann so bequem ist wenn ich darüber nachdenke, wie mein TDI den Golf durschschüttelt, wenn er aus geht.
Evolt It’s not quite a mild hybrid as there does not appear to be an electric motor that drives the powertrain at all. It simply turns off the engine while coasting and while stopped, even mild hybrids use an electric motor to assist the combustion engine during acceleration and to regenerate electricity during deceleration.
Evolt No, it is not any type of hybrid. There’s no electric propulsion in the powertrain, unlike something such as the early Honda IMA mild hybrids or the Chevy Malibu Eco mild hybrids.
