I remember my first buggy was a xx-kinwald edition, used!

That same month the XXX came out, needless to say I scooped that up pretty quick, lol.

My first ones had wires from the remote to the vehicle. Then I had countless Tyco, Bandai, and no-name Walmart/Toys r us type cars. My first "real" RC was a Losi JrxT in about '90/'91. I still have it. I raced Losi stadium trucks for many years to come after that and have just about all of them still.
