THE TAMIYA KING CAB FROM RADIO CONTROL CAR ACTION MAGAZINE, TRACK BUILD, TRACK RUN AND MORE!

I have wanted one of these since a kid and I think its the best RC truck ever made. It reminds me of a tyco bandit just bigger scale. These will now go on the shelf as shelf kings and I will try to hunt another one down for a runner. Thanks for watching!

[@TheSpaceCoupe57Chevy]

That yellow truck was my dream truck The paint and graphics the wheels! I would stare at that magazine day and night Great memories Thanks for the video

[@bigwhop136]

I am greatly appreciative of the shared memories and support. Thanks for watching, bro! 💯

[@stevenlane9272]

As a man now in my mid 40`s, I too was that kid in the early 90`s that wanted a king cab, I had to settle for a Madcap, then a Lunchbox. But I am on the hunt for a king cab to finally fulfil a dream!!

[@RC_therapy_APD]

that same article and same truck is what got me into RC cars. I saw that bright yellow king cab and I was hooked

[@andrewsumner5388]

Great video sir!.. I was 14 in 1990 I started my 1st summer job and this is what I bought! So many great memories.

[@RCRetro]

I really like how you shared your story and showcased the build of the track plus the epic running footage. Great stuff. Can’t wait to see what’s next…

[@bigwhop136]

Man I really appreciate that bro and thanks for the support! Next up is the brushless Roger mears budweiser King cab, then the Tr15t, my first gas car

[@mrlt1]

Eventually I'd love to build one of these up. It has always been one of my dream trucks also especially the factory paint scheme like the one in the ad jumping through covered in mud

[@Tom-ux2tr]

good job childhood memories revisited my first rc BlackFoot

[@bigwhop136]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching the blackfoot. Is the next truck on my list

[@nwhuckin7761]

[@bigwhop136]

Thanks my friend I really appreciate the support

[@RCLegends2022]

Absolutely awesome stuff my friend 😍👊🏻

[@bigwhop136]

Thanks bro that really means a lot coming from you! Now, I will just hunt down an original one. These will do fine, but there is nothing like the original no matter what.

[@andrewbouffard6118]

I remember vividly that issue of the magazine I must have mowed tons of lawns to save up for that king cab! Then a radio the few more weeks for a charger and battery!! Man the memories hopefully they will do a re-release! Even at that time my uncle and I went looking for that track that was suppose to be near Orlando and never found it

[@mrlt1]

Holy crap! That's a nice build

[@je2916]

I also share a very similar experience with this truck. I'm glad to see that you got what you have been looking for. Great video, thanks!!

[@bigwhop136]

[@bigwhop136]

Man, that sounds awesome. I bet you had tons of fun with it! I love to hear King Cab stories!

[@theadhdshop5925]

Same exact story here! I was saving saving and saving, and the clerk driverted me in the moment of slapping down all of my lunch money for a year to an RC10T instead. Now I finally got one and am complete.

[@bigwhop136]

Nice man I love to hear similar stories of people getting thier childhood cars! Would love to see it!

[@nathandorante2094]

This is awesome!

[@bigwhop136]

Thanks bro I really appreciate that!!

[@videobymark]

Good job on the video. They are cool trucks to even just look at but even more fun to run, I like how they float over rough terrain

[@bigwhop136]

Thanks, and yes, I love the way it handles not one time it flipped over. It handles jumps like a pro! A very kool truck

[@madsrcbuggy]

Oh, wow, awesome story, buddy! Proper dream come true, and you worked for it, not just to get that cool truck, but built the track and all. Big respect for this, and a great video, too! A joy to watch!

[@bigwhop136]

I really appreciate the notice of the passion I put into this. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video ive just rebuilt my tamiya txt 1. The bloody thing eats electronics just had to put a huge olde as jesus novak 14.4v esc in it after the super E trucker brand new went up in smoke. The txt1 alongside rockbuster and wild willy are tamiyas greatest.

[@bigwhop136]

Wow bro I had the same thing happened to one of my vintage cars. I would love to see your TXT!

@Crow 72 Maan, I love the UK community. You guys are so laid back and helpful. Yes, mate, if you ever come to NY, the invention is always open!

[@timetraveller3063]

The needs to be a re-release

[@bigwhop136]

Yes they do I even wrote them when I could not find one.

[@daviddollerup4654]

Yes - same chassis and body shell 😊

[@bigwhop136]

@David Dollerup That's the only thing I'm afraid of. Tamiya re-release their builds, but sometimes things are different from the original. I would them to change nothing but the gears.

[@elseñor79]

Awesome King Cab!!! Are the red and black side graphics painted on?

[@bigwhop136]

Thanks bro yes!!

[@robambrose4199]

Are they front wheel drive ? As inside I only saw the front wheels moving.

[@bigwhop136]

No you can see at the beginning of the run how the rear kicks the dirt up
