My first proper r/c car for racing was from 1979, an
AYK RX2000 , this was replaced by a
Schumacher XL. My first buggy was a much modified
Sand Rover, and my first racing buggy was a
Frog which had all the hop ups of the day fitted to it.
Still got all except the Frog, which unfortunately is the one car that would be impossible to recreate today.
