Tamiya RC nsx

[funkynsx]

Hi guys,
I just purchased a new vintage Tamiya RC nsx on ebay for $95 USD.
I'm not really into RC cars but i thought that was a good deal.
Anyone know anything about these RC NSX's?

I bought a 1/10 scale RC NSX from prime member cwillgo a few years ago.

I have the silver 02+ NSX-R style. It's a pretty fast little car, it turns so fast it takes some getting used to.

I know a good deal about vintage Tamiya stuff. Mostly mid 80's thru 99 models. A picture of the model would help, was it a TA01,2,3,4 TL01, or EB01 type chassis?

I have a Honda NSX 1/10 scale R/C made by Tamiya item# 58094 from the mid 90's that a friend got for me from Japan. Still in the box.

Its was made in 1991.
Would these be worth anything in the future?
Cheers

$95 was a good deal. I had mines for about 20 years if I remember correctly?

Here is mine in front of my real toy. I usually bring it out to car shows with me.

I am pretty surprised on how fast this car goes!

That looks like a motorized model rather than a awd touring car chassis that people race with.

yeah, this is motorized.
I'm not interested in racing it, i will leave that to the big one.

I think you got a good deal. The MSRP was about 14,000 Yen at the time. It'll worth more obviously if the box was in mint condition.
Years ago I built a Tamiya Raybrig NSX 2000 and upgraded it with a carbon fiber chassis, etc, shortly after.
Have fun building yours. You're lucky that I didn't see it on eBay :tongue: I always wanted to build one with my daughter.

It was local pick up only.
