The Backyard – Retro Releases I’d Like To See
Hey everybody and Happy Friday! Welcome to The Backyard.
Retro releases certain are in as of late, no less than with regards to r/c racing! Kyosho Optimas and Team Associated buggies and vehicles, oh my! You even have firms like Tamiya, who’re all the time re-releasing varied basic stuff.
I like to see it. So a lot in order that I assumed it might be enjoyable to place collectively an inventory of some retro releases I’d like to see from varied firms and genres!
Team Losi LXT Stadium Truck
Some of you might argue that the Losi JRX, JRX2, or JRXT could also be extra worthy of a re-release than the Losi LXT, however that is my weblog I’m the one callin’ the photographs! I began racing again within the early 90’s, and I bear in mind when the LXT got here out. It was a terror on the race observe. I completely LOVE me some old skool stadium vehicles, however given my recollections of duking it out with this fella, the LXT takes the cake. Seriously although, Team Losi completely must enter the retro racer area in some unspecified time in the future, what with their wealthy racing historical past, so if not this truck then hopefully they do SOMETHING else!
Axial SCX10 (Original Kit Release)
Oh sure people, this will not be from the 80’s or 90’s, however that is nonetheless very retro! 2008 was the discharge of the primary gen SCX10, and it got here with the CF-100 Kustom physique. 2008 might not appear to be it was that way back, nevertheless it’s been 16 years! A restricted version copy package can be a variety of enjoyable. I’ve owned varied Gen 1 SCX10’s, however I got here on-board to scaling when the Dingo package was out, so I’d like to have a crack at proudly owning an OG fashion one! I’d argue there are a variety of people who would too.
Tamiya Juggernaut 2
The Juggernaut 2 was a launch that got here out forward of it’s time. These days, the strong axle monster truck crowd is salivating for a correct leaf spring outfitted old skool fashion monster, and the Jugg checks a variety of packing containers. Heck, for a very long time now hobbyists have been utilizing Jugg/TXT-1 transmissions and axles for retro monster truck builds, so it might be unbelievable if the whole truck simply got here again on-line! I feel these would promote shockingly nicely for the large T.
Traxxas RADicator
The Traxxas RADicator, launched through the heydey of the early 90’s off-road racing scene, is one other car that I slugged it out with on the race observe again within the day. It’s form of stunning that as widespread as Traxxas has change into, they don’t actually do quite a bit to have a good time their early days. The RADicator can be a very enjoyable re-release, and I feel it’s the one one on this listing that got here as a RTR! Yep, Traxxas was actually forward of the sport with their RTR releases. The paint on this dude is extraordinarily RAD, so seeing it come again with the identical scheme can be good.
This listing was a variety of enjoyable to return up with- what would YOU prefer to see re-released? Drop me a line at doug@bigsquidrc.com and let me know what you suppose!
Until subsequent time, hold it on all 4’s!
