It is funny. We like to reminisce about the good old days.......but actually the stuffs that we have right now are waaay better than those we had last time.
Radios are better, (FM n PCM compared to AM), batteries are better ( 1400 mAh compared to 4000 mAh n lipos now), motors are better (brushless ) , ESCs are better (Tamiya now includes them in the kits) and cars are better too. Cars are now more tunable with so many optional upgradable parts. Choices in brands have also expanded. Prices in general had dropped as well. (Thank goodness)

Maybe we want to remember the past is because we want to re-capture our youth(?)..

my 2 cent (not much).

Yes may be it's true...... Those good old days...... Trying to recapture our youth - I think may be it's natural.

If only we could turn the clock back but alas..... so we just have to reminisce.

Come to think of it stuffs are much more cheaper now than it was back then.... especially our disposable income now higher.

Default I was back in 1982...

Was a very very very long time ago when racing was as more about good looks and scale realism than being the fastest. Cars then were heavy and clumsy compared to your Losi XXX and RC10 or whatever nitro beasts from hell. I do miss the good old days...

Orang putih kata, a picture speaks a thousand words. Saya amat setuju dengan saranan Kamikazi. So, bring on your pictures. Ada sesiapa simpan buggy landjump tak. Nostalgia sikit sebab itulah pengalaman pertama saya melihat RC racing dekat UM tahun 80 an dulu.

This is a group picture of last year's MNC race. Had to borrow Big Guy's TT01. Thanks bro....

I used his rather heavy Ferrari Red Enzo body just for laugh. That body is not meant for racing. However, got a decent result though....
