About Us
Our Story
Born from a lifelong passion for RC excellence, Tamiya High Street RC started as one enthusiast's dream in Lower Hutt. What began as a personal hobby has grown into a specialised destination for quality Tamiya RC products and expertise right here in Aotearoa.
The Journey
The founder's journey started like many Kiwis - building and racing RC cars as a hobby. This passion grew into an obsession with the precision, quality, and joy that Tamiya models bring to the RC community. After years of collecting, building, and developing thorough technical knowledge, the decision was made to share this passion with others by opening Tamiya High Street RC.
