RE: Vintage RC with a wired controller?
I was just thinking that the Echo brand name sounded familiar, when I realized that I owned an Echo RC. When I was thinking about getting into this hobby, I bought a $15 toy grade truck called the Echo Power Truck. The thing was pretty pitiful, running off a 4.8v rx pack and a very underpowered motor. But it managed to keep me entertained long enough that I put in my first order to Tower Hobbies. I gave it away to my roommates kids last year.
I wonder if Echo still produces the Big Brat? The truck I owned had a very dated design, the body was that of a 1980s minitruck and it could very well have been copied from a much older RC.
