just thought id say hello and let you guys know this is a great wee site. ive been running tamiya trucks and buggys since i was a kid. but it was a tayio max hopper that got me into the RC hobby. spent a few years trying to find a max hopper and now that i have got one im trying to start a collaction of these old RC gems but. trying to find info on them has been a bit of a pain up until i found this site so once again great site and i hope to get a plenty of banter with you all soon.
