Tamiya Falcon Vintage Promotional Video

The Falcon was my first car so will always be special to me. It is underated by many which I find a bit puzzling seeing as they actually drive really well both on and off road (mine even used to beat foxes from time to time at the track!) The Falcon was a totally new design from Tamiya when it came out in ’86 and it deserves credit for this. The box art colour scheme and scale yellow cage around the motor is also very eye catching. A classic 80′s Tamiya buggy for sure and an absolute pleasure to own, drive, or simply admire on the shelf.
The Falcon was my first car also.My dad picked it up in Hong Kong for me when they first came out and I Loved it. It’s the reason I have come back to RC many, many years later.
