Why Do Vintage Tamiya R/C Model Vehicle Kit Instructions Made More Logical Sense?
Episode 544
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
If you've ever built the vintage version of a Tamiya radio-controlled model vehicle like the 1:10th scale Frog R/C buggy, and then later built the rere (re-release) version, you'll notice that the instructions are in a completely different order and the new way isn't nearly as logical as the old way. Why? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we investigate what made these changes and why kit builders prefer the vintage analog hand-drawn instructions over the digital CAD (Computer-Aided Design) created reres.
