Wink Kids these days will never know what it was like.

Remember when you had to take your toys for a walk?

I had the black version. I think it made the chrome pop more.

These were all made by New Bright...I had this one here. Early 1990's. In fact, I recently found it about 2 weeks ago and was going to use it with my 3 y/o, but battery corrosion was beyond repair and in the trash it went!

I know of those but never had one. Likely because we never had the backyard for it. I would think getting snagged would leave a good sized mark!

I did however have a Cox Corsair. A.K.A. "Dizzy"
Somehow this was a good idea in my Dads mind. Darn props hurt!!!

Even worse were the ones that went straight forward and turned in reverse. I still had fun though...

i remember when batteries were charged directly from the 12v car battery sitting in the engine bay with a pair of charging leads, and you would have to time it on a watch and disconnect after approx 15min or when the battery was warm, however if you forgot
or walked away it could spell disaster, then Team Associated bought a charger with a timer on it and a volt guiage, wow technology has changed, chargers that have built in speakers to play music, charge 4 lipos at once. what next.
