My first was a Tyco Lambo Countach. It was great for the 15 minutes it lasted before it broke :)

I had a radio shack monster truck. Got it for christmas one year. Went to my buddies house to play with him and found out he got one too. Bad thing was they were both on the same channel! :(

My first R/C car was the red Nikko Dictator 4wd twin 380 motor 1/10 buggy! I drove the snot out of that car and it kept going! I still remember the buggy like I just saw it. It is the car responsible for the addiction its become.

My first hobby grade car is my T4, although I have had countless toy grade rc's over the years, and I had one radio shack rc as well.

After searching the net I found my first R/C car. I'm pretty sure it was around 1974 or so, but this is it...but mine was gold. As mentioned earlier, just one button that would make it steer right (no speed control). The car would turn left and the button made it turn right.....

Mine was a Lime Green Tyco Fast Trax. When i figured out that more power ment more speed i took out the orginal 9.6v and put two six cell batiries in it and used wire nuts to conect it and wire nuts to charge it. i just wanted to beet my by big brothers. he had the same one just orange.

I had a tamiya Falcon, I still have some parts from it, but most were either destroyed beyond recognition or gone to the garbage by now.

My first RC car was an RC10 with a mechanical speed control and a 6-cell stick pack...I still have most of the parts :thumbsup:

I started racing indoors on a carpet oval before moving to dirt oval in the summer. Since then it been a progression of pan cars, although I still have an old terminator dirt oval car.

My first was a gold tub RC10, mechanical speed control, etc.. I bought it after seeing a kid run a Tamiya Grasshopper at a campground, the first RC car i had ever seen. I have no idea who the kid was with the Grasshopper but I do know by his 5 minute demonstration into RC cars that he boosted RC sales by many $$$.

my first car was a Kyosho Icarus... I used to be the only NON RC10 in the 2wd stock and I actually was pretty competitive. I miss that car... only plastic tub car with a roll cage in the class...
Then my dad got a Kyosho Cosmo and my brother (get this) got a Kangaroo... I don't even remember who made those, but they were ugly as hell...
