Tamiya Cars

The predecessor of Crush Gear, Tamiya cars are radio-controlled cars. They do not run on gas, but rather through the power generated by the batteries. A remote control allows a kid, or in some cases, adults, to maneuver the vehicle to wherever direction they want them to go. It was meant for kids, but as the adage goes, men are just oversized kids, so it became extremely popular among adults as well.

Both kids and adults enjoyed the thrill of catching those crazy fast toys just with their bare hands. One benefit of playing with Tamiya Cars is that children learn how to strategize. Winning the battle is key and one must execute a plan to beat the enemy. Hand-eye coordination was also a must because otherwise, they would suffer the consequences. Tamiya cars were a bit expensive, so players had every incentive not to lose.
