RE: You guys ever stop and realize how fast this hobby is changing?!
Ofna and Kyosho used to have 1/8th scale trucks waaaaaay back. And I don't mean monster trucks. They were based off their buggy chassis. And by based off I mean like... buggy chassis with larger tires, no wing and a truck body. This was back in the day when I was screwing around with the Junior T that took me a birthday and 3 months of allowance to get up and running. Well, that and Dad was apparently impressed enough with my saving and building it on my own at the the time that he bought the radio. (That and I think he really was tired of waiting for me to get money so he could see it run.)
I remember them in the Tower catalogs back around... this would have been around like.. '93 or '94, that was when I was getting into this mess.
