My first RC was a Tamiya 306 Maxi, followed by a Blackfoot (did a 'McGyver on that and built it on a mine exploration camp using one screwdriver and a pair of scissors!! - worked great).
Here's what my 3rd RC thought of the Peugeot !! :no::helpsmilie::no:

I've still got the Peugeot spoiler, for some reason!!

Mine was the Tamiya Wild One. Got it for my 11th birthday !! Totally loved it. Though it did break quite easy , and my driving back then wasnt the best! (Same as now!!!)
Funny , cos ive been thru all the scales , with electric and Nitro , and my current pride and joy , my Baja , bares a little resemblance to the old Wild One !!! The classic Baja Buggy design ! Love It !!!

That looks cool Pete :cool2: Id forgotten how good they looked and the style hasnt dated either. Did they re-release it do you know?

My first REAl rc was a 2.5 tmaxx as well. That thing was a booger to tune,i knew nothing of them and when i did get it tuned it would scream! When it didnt run good i wanted to kick it across the yard

Sadly not mate. (I don't think so anyway). There have been quite a few re-releases of the classics like the HotShot , Boomerang etc but no Wild One.
I still love the look of it. Would love to get hold of one again!
Last time I saw one, I was in E.A models in chester buying Nitro feul no and a guy came in with one looking for spares for it !!!!!

My first R/C came from Radio Shack

It was a little gold Porsche 928 with a bunch of stickers....

1 button click type radio that made it turn in revers when you hit the button :no:

Th front wheels didn't even turn, it had a thin rubber wheel in the center between the front wheels lol

My first Hobby grade R/C was a Tamiya Grasshopper

What's funny is that it was also the first Hobby grade R/C for all 3 of my boys
