Status: offline 		My first rc car was a mugen MBXR Works. I know it was an overkill for a beginner, because I have soo much troubles starting the engine. Now it's scraps. I've should of start off with a electric instead.

Status: offline 		My first was T3 that I still have. But I got it because one saturday I went up to the lhs with my dad when they were racing and I seen them racing then I caught the bug. A couple days later I went up there and bought the rtr version with my own money. Everyone was like what a waste of money, but if they ever drove it they would probably go buy one too. And now I have a DS with the black tub. But unfortunatly they are both up forsale/trade now.

Status: offline 		My first was an old Kyosho on-road car, 2wd with a .12 OS motor in it. The car at first, I thought, was a Pure10, but was actually older than that! It was made back in the late 80's.....anyway, I had it back in like 1992, and since, I was hooked on R/C!

Status: offline 		My first car was a Grasshopper. Got it when my dad was stationed in Korea in 1985. I raced all over Korea with it and competed with the RC 10's . Now that I look back, I don't know how I did it. I must have been a much better driver than I am now :-). I still have the grasshopper and I am planning on fixing it back up just for fun.

Status: offline 		Now let me think...My first car was a Tamiya Lamborgini Cheetah. Same chassis as an XB 311, kinda looked like a mini hummer. Man did I have a lot of fun with that car! I remember when my neighbor's rottweiler chased it down the steet and caught it with its teeth! It survived that with only a couple of scratches. That was way back in the late 70's or early 80's.

Next Tamiyas I had were the Holiday Buggy, then a Ford F150 (same chassis as the Rough Rider and Sand Scorcher) and then a 4wd Thundershot. What great fun all those cars were!

I'm just amazed at how many of you still have all your cars. It makes me wish I still had mine.

Anyways, thanks for the memories and great thread!

I'm still looking for one NIB just to build and stick on a shelf.
