What was your 1st RC Car??
 
Thought I start a post reminising the past.

My 1st RC Car was a Tamiya Fox, got in it 1985, when I was 13, had to beg my dad for it :p :p . All my friends had either the Hornet, Frog, or the Grasshopper so I was the COOL KID with the FOX :smile: !!!

Since the car was so expensive (compared to toys), he wouldn't met me put it together :flaming: , and had the shop owner put it together for me. Raced it and even converted it to a "Red Fox" :smile: . I remember the manual speed controller got so HOT that it melted the cover that goes on that car. Yup good times ;) !!!

Would've still have that car if my mom didn't sell it at a garage sale when I was in college :flaming: :flaming: .

So what was your first car??

I had a Marui Galaxy as my first R/C vehicle. The stock mechanical speed control lasted maybe 5 seconds before frying. Next was a Kyosho Scorpion buggy.

My first 'serious' R/C car was a Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid ;)

1986/1987 - Tamiya Falcon...It was the latest and greatest that tamiya put out :) Too bad the chassis was fragile right behind the front bulkhead :(

MRP GP100, 1/12th RTR car from MRP, brown box transmitter. Built by the Welsh boys and Gary Kyes out of Washington. Car was a pan car with the chassis made out of some kind of plastic, no suspension, no diff. Made those boys with the 12E cars cry.

My first was a Superchamp, then the rc 10 came out so I put every MIP part available on it and still couldn't keep up with the rc10's so, had to get one. I still have the Superchamp and it is still operational with the ole brown box.
