Tamiya RC Trucks

December 28th, 2007 by admin

Think of the 80s and you probably think of legwarmers, bouffant hair-don’ts and video games. Us? We think of Tamiya RC cars. And that’s not because we spent most of the decade fiddling with them (even though we did). It’s because two of Tamiya’s greatest ever off-road kit cars have been reissued.

 Let’s off-road with the Lunch Box monster truck!
These high-performance, build-’em-yourself classics are just like the ones you saw whizzing across muddy lawns, clambering up hills and splashing through puddles in years gone by. Forget toytown cars that only work indoors, Tamiya’s mucho macho rechargeable babies can handle any type of terrain

Stealth RC Power Speedboat

December 28th, 2007 by admin

Speedboats are brilliant, aren’t they? Because as well as flitting across the water with the greatest of ease they conjure up glam images of Monaco, Miami Vice and David Hasselhoff’s hairy chest (or is that just us?)

Sadly, in order to own one of these sleek machines you need to be either A) incredibly wealthy, B) an ex-winner on Bullseye or C) one of Capt’n Birdseye’s arch enemies. Which is a shame because there’s nothing quite like captaining your very own speedboat across the beautiful briny sea. Except of course captaining your very own remote controlled speedboat across the local pond. And that’s where the Stealth Speedboat comes in.

This large, ominous-looking vessel is frighteningly fast and makes other battery-powered RC boats look about as threatening as a soggy fishcake. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Batboat, the twin-motor Stealth has got speed written all over it (not literally, that would look silly) and its satisfyingly sexy aerodynamic lines help it achieve speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The Dukes of Hazard

December 28th, 2007 by admin

‘Just the good ol’ boys, never meanin’ no harm, beats all you’ve ever saw…’ If you’re old enough and geeky enough to remember that song, you’ll know that the real star of the Dukes of Hazzard wasn’t Bo, Luke, Flash the dog or even Daisy’s perfectly formed…erm, jeep. No, the star of this so-bad-it-was-brilliant slice of 80s TV was the good ol’ General Lee.

Seemingly indestructible, this souped-up 1969 Dodge Charger roared its way through each goofball episode (and the frankly disappointing 2005 movie) like grits through a goose. It could even leap through the air every time it hit a bump. And now, thanks to your Lost Sheep-lovin’ buddies here at the Firebox ranch, you can yee-haa your way across the county in this fully-functioning, R/C version of one of rubbish TV’s greatest vehicles.

 Working headlights
The General Lee R/C Car is an exact replica of the fantastically orangey ve-hi-cle driven by them pesky Duke boys in the TV show and movie. Ready to run, this beautifully-built car travels forwards, backwards, left and right, and boasts a nifty ‘turbo-boost’ function so you can outrun Enos, Cletus or any other suggestively named deputy sheriff. It even has working headlights so you can run moonshine into Chickasaw County after dark.

Knight Rider

December 28th, 2007 by admin

It takes genuine talent to outshine an acting juggernaut like David Hasselhoff. But, unbelievable though it may seem, the Hoff was once upstaged by a car. And it wasn’t just any old car, it was KITT, or to give its full title, the Knight Industries Two Thousand.
This sleek, customised Pontiac Trans-Am was impervious to attack, could cruise at 300mph and was loaded with hi-tech armaments. It could even talk, albeit in an incredibly camp, condescending voice. And now, thanks to your hairy-chested friends at the Firebox Foundation, you can own a fully-functioning, R/C version of one of rubbish TV’s greatest vehicles.
