My first was a Tamiya Super Champ, about 1982, I would have been about 11. Took me about 3 nights to build, I wouldn't let anyone give me a hand to build her.
I saved every RC kit I had until I gave up at about 18,The last kit I bought was the first Losi that came out. then when I moved to Aussie I stored them in my old boys shed.
He told me if I filled up his shed with junk he would throw it out.
Seven years later I return to New Zealand, and bugger me, The old boy had thrown them all out, at least 12 cars and all the gear that goes with them. (not to mention my extensive record collection)
Picked up a TA04 a few years ago, Didn't really excite me, Then on a whim I purchased a Desert Gator,Going off-road again bought back all the fun, Then got a little carried away, have been through about 30 RC's in the last couple of years, Even bought some to build,run once and then sell. Bought others 2nd hand and sold them without running them.
