i dunno if i ever saw it as that... i know i always thought urrggh b final third trophie again when i would have much rather just qualified for the A..... when bolton was at its fullest A final was damn fast....
i am going in the loft tomorrow to get my cougar...
my brother stole most of my electrics so would need new.... if i was going to come back it would have to be a set of lipos, 2ghz tx and brushless.... there would be no point trying to use my old stuff... it was cheap back then....and i think this is what will make RC racing big again, the batterys...
when i started racing at 8 i think my grandad funded my mardave meteor

and my dad the rest... we got really into it and my dad loved setting up the car (as much as he could with a mardave). i couldnt believe it when i opened my cougar box on crimbo morning a couple of years later and it said works team on the box..... my mum and dad always were (and still are) ace at crimbo presents.even if they didnt really have the money for it....its a shame some kids cant race cos they dont have the money to get a car.....but i think your right though.. most kids dont even know you can race RC cars rather than just chasing the dog.....
