Definitely a gold rc10. That car also changed everything. Also the cougar lineup if they decide to repro those also. That would be really cool

Didn't the Kyosho Optima come out before the Cougar? I would think that would also be one of the cars to have!

Tony Newland

I'm not sure.

Ya the optima was super cool too

Optima = 4wd
Cougar = 2wd

Ultima? Joel Johnson broke AE's stranglehold on 2wd WC's with the 1st gen of that car.

Anybody have one of the original chain-drive Yokomo Dogfighters? Those were "interesting".

The Optima was a 4wd car a few years before the cougar. Your thinking of the Kyosho Ultima 2wd that JJ surprised everyone with a WC.
I loved the Cougar as well, I think only thing holding it back was the belt tranny, too much drag. The XLS was very iconic as far as Im concerned.
