I think the first RC car I had was something from Tandy or woolworths or somewhere, it was called a winch, little red jeep thing with a winch on the front.

My first proper car was a Tamiya Fox, then I also had at the same time a Mardave Mini Stock which is were I got my first taste for racing.

Then I had a Clodbuster, then they sort of got forgotten as Motorbikes and girls sort of got in the way

Yeh, funny how that happens... its a good job that RC cars are about as addictive as crack or I wouldn't have come back to it.

My first proper RC car was a Tamiya hotshot... had loads of naff things from Tandy beforehand...
