Lot of posts about what people have and stuff, but I was wondering what your first R/C car was?

Mine was a 'Tamiya Wild Willy' when I was 9....26 years ago. :blush:
 
Hey Ducky, that was my first real rc car too , had loads of fun with it and then turned it into the willies wheeler, i think that was what it was called, it was a honda city.

I think i have photos some where , might have to dig em out.

Before that they were just rc toy cars..
 
hello

hello ducky

mine i think was a little aeroboard type foam plane (don't know name) was around 8 or nine, 21 odd years ago lol

back in 1992 an english man who plastered houses for us gave me a 1/8th scale electric baja, this machine was serious quick and i must say i was hooked...

he was a nice fella karl was the guys name from nottingham,he had lots of largescales too at the time,havnt heard from the man sinse 1995 or 6 lol

then my next big hot onroad(big for me at the time) this machine i rekon would have been 1/10 scale,it ran on tracks was called fast trax (i think tyco) mad little fun device...that would have been when i was 17 18 years old,around 1996

our taste and quality in these machines has evolved a lot sinse then:)

The FastTrax had the tank treads instead of wheels, they made it in both, 9.6 (1/14) or 7.2 version (1/10) ...God I wonder why I remember all this crap, but I can't remember the ole lady's birthday!!!

Trip..

P.S. Slaw, I remember the Grasshopper when it first came out, I wanted one until I saw the Hornet...

my first "hobby grade" rc was a tamiya lunch-box wich i fitted with some foams, a "house" motor(stock class) and raced on a carpet track twice a week.. i got my ars handed to me every night!! saved for a bit and bought a losi jr-t and raced that thing till the wheels fell off. had a couple others during that time like a hi-lux, rc10(before the stealth tranny!) rc10t and so on. also raced a few 12th scale pan cars. had a blast back then!! and still lovin it.
