Tamiya forum??

Heres an update. I did some poking around the web and found a web site for rc stuff . Its Tamiyaclub.com. SorryI didnt see anything about regular models tho.

Scottrc thank you so much for the info. I will definately check that out. At the end of the week  i have cancer surdgery and ewill be laid up for a long while so I will havee alot of time to check it out. Thank you again.I see my spelling tonight is realy garbage. hahahaha

Both RCGroups and RCUniverse have extensive car forums.  

RCU have a RC classics forum

https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-classic-cars-trucks-513/

I am sorry. I did get a look at some of the dates and they were older ones.Nothing recently. It was tamiye usa. So does anyone have any web forums for rc cars abd stuff?

Yes, that was the forum I was remembering. 

Thanks for that info!

In regards to Tamiya USA, web.archive.org is your friend. It takes snapshots of websites over time. A few minutes of searching there showed www.tamiyausa.com had a link to a forum called Tamiya Modelers that was an affiliate/partner. I will not give you the link to that forum website, however - the Tamiya Modelers forum closed down in 2017, and the domain was taken over by spammers and redirectors since. The forum is gone.  

Thanks, Mike!  That corresponds to what I saw when I went to Tamiya's website the other day to have a look.  No trace of anything like a forum at all.  I was just curious to have a look, if there was still an address.

That sucks. I collect and race Tamiya rc cars and trucks. It used to be a great website for that. Are there any alternatives to get good rc info on Tamiya rc stuff? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Barron I am not sure what you are asking. I am new to this computer stuff. I am still learning it. I will ask my wife and see what she says. I am old school so I just started using the cumputer about 6 months ago. Please have patients with me.Thank you.

Yeah, if it was part of Tamiya USA's website, looking at the site map, I don't see anything like a forum now:  https://www.tamiyausa.com/sitemap/

There is a Builder's Showcase, for people to submit pictures of their Tamiya builds, but that's the only thing I can see now, that is anything remotely like a forum (ie, it invites public participation).

lurch, what's the URL you have for the forum?

Well that sucks.They used to have alot of good info on there.

I think they may have closed it down.  I used to go there and there were both plastic and r/c sections.  It was on the main Tamiya USA website.

 

Thanks, jeaton01!

I have been trying to get on the Tamiya forums for a while now. Have nothing but issues with it. I do the rc thing and have beem for a long time. I collect the rc vehicles and restore them. My wife thinks I am nuts for doing that but OH WELL.Anyway I did see some threads on model kits but not many. You might have better luck on this site.

Sorry Chris, no idea.

I have not heard of that one, but lots of knowledge here, I'm sure most of us have enjoyed Tamiya kits.Feel free to ask or discuss.
