kyosho inferno GT 1:8th on road car.

how do u like onroad?

only thing good about it is drifting, but that gets old when you go through a $20 set of tires in 15 minutes, and being a .28 putting tape on the tires lasts about 2 minutes, and PVC just slides all over the place, no fun at all, gotta use rubber tires with all the power.

I had a ae RC10T3 kit as my first RC.

Traxxas Sledgehammer

A Tamiya Hornet (circa 1987) that my poor mechanically not so inclined dad built for me for Christmas. He used the wrong glue and I drove the tires right off of it the first run.

I still remember how happy I was that Christmas morning.

Mine was a Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid SE

Tamiya Road Wizard F1.

Tamiya Baja Champ.

Associated RC10 (Gold Tub chassis).

Still have it.

Radio shack Taruo X and an Xmod wich does 40 Mph around the house.

Butt ssrly Traxxas E rusty (Legasy)

My first is a Traxxas Rustler XL-5 and right now I have a Traxxas nitro 4Tec in the mail on its way here.

Mine was the Kyosho Double Dare

My first few were:
Marui Samurai
Kyosho Maxxum FF
Tamiya Blackfoot
Tamiya Striker
Associated RC10L
Kyosho Outlaw Rampage
Ofna Pirate 10
Associated RC10GT
Ofna Ultra Worlds GT
Kyosho MP-5
Losi GTX

And the list just balloons from there.

My first truck, which I coincidentally recently bought a nib of-

My first real rc was a tamiya blackfoot.

Hpi RS4 Rally.

Team Losi Mini-T. I still have it:

A Tamiya Monster Beetle around 1986. Just bought one off of Ebay to restore, and bring back some memories!

1/18 Mini T
1/10 Evader EXT

In 1987 I bought a Cox Turbo Scorpion and a Futaba Attack radio with money I made from mowing lawns. I upgraded it with a Futaba electronic speed control and Trinity Gold motor. It was pretty fast. The local hobby shop in Babylon, NY used to hold races on a little league baseball field.

traxxas tmaxx 2.5 i still have it also...lol

Very cool I have not seen that box in 20 some odd years. The Mauri Big Bear was my first hobby grade RC, but they weren't much better than the syuff you can buy at Wal Mart now except you could fix them if you broke something.

My second was a Mauri Ninja and third was a Tamiya Thunder Shot.

Tamiya Rough Rider sand rail, circa ~1982 w/a Futaba 2ch 2stick radio (wheel based radios were still pretty new and way more $$). Broke & replaced/upgraded most of it. Ordered from Tower Hobbies when you had to *call them on the phone or send them an order form in the mail*. Sold it to buy oversized pistons and jugs for my Volkswagen engine. BTW my computer then ran CPM, had 128K RAM, no hard drive and for that time, pretty much rocked.
