RE: First RC????????
Cox plane on a string, circa 1979. Then I got some Tamiya buggy around 1987, probably what would be considered my first 'Real' R/C. I don't even remember what model it was, but I know some people were racing them at the track - I bought it from a neighbor that raced. Batteries took HOURS to charge and were super expensive on my budget. So I never got into racing till fairly recently. Only had that buggy a few years when I was able to get a gold pan rc10... it was all downhill from there!

A Tamyia Blackfoot, back when you actually had to build them from a kit. I love those days when you had to build them. Building kits was and still is my favorite part of this hobby; every car/truck should come in a kit form!!
