Would love to hear your opinion in the comment section and perhaps even what you have done to yours and what you are running your unit with. Feel free to ask any questions too!

This is my personal 2024 Tamiya RC Car collection. Nothing else. As it happened I had exactly 52 Tamiya cars in my collection at the start of 2024. So here they are.

Coincidentally - it is also 10 years ago I got my first Tamiya RC Car as an adult - which launched me into this great hobby. So I consider this is my personal 10th year RC Anniversary too.

On top of that, this is also my little chance of re-entering the great and valuable RC car and Tamiya community online. In a way that doesn't require more effort and time than I have at hand. Right now my priority is my family and three little children - and the many work hours that go into supporting them. At the end of each day - just before going to sleep - I feel quite exhausted and these short videos are quite often all that I have time for in a week - at least consistently throughout the year. I hope there will be a few other videos, now and then, when time and the level of energy allows.

I am looking very much forward sharing my passion and love of the hobby again with my friends here in 2024.

If nothing else, this is a great chance for me to dive into my personal collection of Tamiya RC Cars, dust them off, one by one, and enjoy them - even if I find it hard to find some time running them. Hoping for some chances to get at least a few of them outside in 2024 though. All are runners.
