had RC cars since i was bout 4, but first one i truely remember is the Tyco Fasttracks, anyone remember that???

My first true rc car is duratrax rt-x27 and I love it except when I go to a track or try to show off to friends here on my track, man theres a lot of batteries to charge or change, then that one way bearing thing, or something else always seems to screw up and I never get to show off or learn to drive with others on the track, but it still looks cool and if no one is around it runs like a champ and starts easy

Only ones i remember that were popular where i am was losi and of course my personal favorate tamiya.Although i do have an old gold pan as well.

A Radio Shack Porsche in 85 then a Grasshopper in 87 dang Im old

First was one of those toy four-wheelers or a Volkswagon Beetle from Radio Shack. lol Man, I had some fun with both of those. First real RC was a Losi XXX-NT.

xx cr buggy for me. teken speedo and scr's


That was 97 I think.. I didn't run my first race until 2000. That was with a "rent a wreck" Bolink legend :)

Early 70's Jerobee Cox .049 powered AutoWorld Can Am 12th scale with a Kraft box wheel radio. Very old school!

Anyone remember the tyco bandit? i beat that thing to the ground.

87 grass hopper and Big bear monster truck man that thing was fun............:thumbsup:

First RC car... Radio Shack Golden Arrow... That thing was alot of fun. Built a track in my back yard and beat the hell out of that thing. First real car... an associated 10L. A friend and I decided to get a couple cars to beat around the local tennis courts, another friend was racing them and he got me into it... I'll never forgive him for dragging me into this hobby... lol

Thats funny my brother got me into the hobby it all started with that frog.:thumbsup:

the original kyosho Ultima, followed by the TQ10 (rc10 graphite with the long arms as opposed to the short arms on the original gold tub kits)

I'm not sure, but I think it was something made by Nikko. My first hobby grade R/C was a used, old RC10 buggy.

man all you guys make me feel old ..
blackfoot with push pins from inside the tires and filled with toilet paper to keep tires stiff lol to run it on ice .. darn good times ..

them old windshield whiper speed controls big restior on them burned my fingers a few times lol ok iam old ..

Got quite a few blackfoots gotta love them.

Bolink, Baby!

first rc was an old winged outlaw by nikko i think , it was alot of fun , first hobby grade rc was an L4 wiyh all the hop ups ypu could do to it , good car my daughter is racing it at our local track , new ride is a hyper drive , gotta love em lol

First Nitro was a Jerobee 1/12 scale old square box R/C. First electric was a Associated 12E, 6 cell stick pack 1/12 scale Futaba Mag Junior. First Dirt car was a 1/10 scale Cox Scorpion and a Mag Senior.:wave::wave:

My first exposure to this "type" of hobby was with Cox Tether Cars kinda like in this old photo.

http://blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/tethercars_11_resized.jpg

My first car....RACE CAR was a Tamiya Hornet....then Big Bear....Then Blackfoot....ect.

My first was a Associated 1/8 nitro pan car in about 1973-4, stamped aluminum chassis, bushings, aluminum wheels, some kind of closed cell foam tires. I think I got a Porsche 917 body for it. I bought it after going to see Steve Mcqeen in "Lemans" never did much with it '70's rc equipment for cars was rather hard to come by in my part of the country.

Radio Shack Golden Arrow, then an RC10.

Tamiya Fox, Wow that was a long time ago. LOL

Love the fox.

First R/C car was a Tamiya Grasshopper with the mechanical wiper speed control...put a "regular" stock motor in it over the closed-endbell motor and promptly melted the resistor and the rear shock tower with it...LOL...

First RACE car was an RC10 Gold Tub, circa 1986. Raced it at the local skating rink as an oval car, then a Figure 8 car. Had one of them old BoLink Corvette dirt oval bodies on it...LOL

My first Hobby grade RC was a Delta1/10th Super Villan, first pan car with 5 shocks. 3 shock rear pod and front aluminum A-arms w/ delta shocks. I changed that out for a bar front end and ran on the oval. The t-bar was suspended from A-frames much like the KSG G3. Wish I had that car back, way before its time.

I started back in 85 with a grasshopper. Still have it and I still occasionally take it to the track to bomb around. Have had over 100 cars or trucks since, but its still my favorite. My dad got me in the hobby, and now my two kids are racing. My son runs my old Bolink 91 Sport, and my daughter runs my old RC10 gold tub.

First was a Subaru Brat for my son, took me 8 hrs. to put that darn thing together!! Then we discovered dirt oval racing then came the RC10's and the rest of the fleet

My first was a used cox scorpion, followed by a hornet, rc10 gold tub.

First was a gold pan rc 10 back in the 80's, younger brother drew the short straw and got a Frog at the same time. I still remember that frog wheel hopping down the carpet track. Still got both.:thumbsup:

Ha frog was my first back in 84 still have it my brother got me into it god rest his soul.

My first was a Traxxas Stampede XL-5... greatest ever! I have a T MAXX 3.3 Now :thumbsup::cool:

Mine was a Hirobo Hi lux that we took apart to covert to a dirt oval car and a koyosho Scropion for off road. I think it was 1983 and we paid close to 1,000 for them.

I bought my first r/c car in the late 70's for $25 that was a corvette that had a remote control that consisted of one button. The car would continuously steer to the left and the button would make it steer to the right. The car then would drive back and forth to resemble straight, or turn around left unless you push the button to make it turn around right. It got boring real fast and it was a real waste of my cash..... Takes a long time for a kid to save up $25, and that was a lot of cash in those days.

The first car I can recall having is a Tyco Turbo Hopper. I remember getting fresh aa's and playing with it on frozen parking lots and sliding forever.

My first "hobby grade" r/c car was a Traxxas Rustler.

Later,

Mark

I recently purchased an HBX Bonzer Truck for my 8 yr old son (1/10). After a couple weeks of us both playing with it, bashing it around and it hasn't broke I bought my self one (should arrive Wed) and this would by my FIRST real R/C rig. This should be a fun hobby for us to do, and the Bonzer trucks are a cheap entry way into it.

Traxxas Cat!

15 years ago I won a Exxon(gas station) RC car in a drawing. That was my first.
