My first hobby quality RC car was a hornet, but I was hooked by the first toy car I got back in 77. They used to sell a little black TA at Sears, I just couldn't live without it after watching Smokey and the Bandit.lol I still have my first Nitro buggy, a Kyosho Sandmaster, still got the box and all the stuff that came with it too.
 
hi mine was a tamiya holiday buggy,tamiya brat and a mardave mararda nitro..........................phil
 
My first rc was a Kyosho ST of some sort. Almost around 20 years ago I think, I was about 9-10 years old. I remember I was so sad, as it didn't have a real car fuel cap, filling it like a 1/1 car, and it didn't have a ignition key like the real cars had. I was waaaaaaay out there, and had NO clue to what a nitro engine rc was all about.
But my older brother, who also was new to this, walked me through it as he learned it himself. I newe really got the hang of nitro engines and today I don't want anything to do with them. I run brushless in my planes, helis and cars, except for my 1/6 FG MT.
