Started way back in June 1979, in the days when you had to get a Model Control licence from the Home Office (cost £2.80 for a 5 year licence) to legally use your radio control equipment.
Remember 3 speed mechanical speed controllers that had wire resistors that glowed like an electric fire when you hit the throttle, ball diffs hadn't been invented and all bodies were ABS plastic that split so easily.
I'll stop now otherwise I'll get all melancholy and dewy-eyed!
