Remember it well! In about '86 I was given a Nikko Black Fox for christmas.
It was my pride and joy.
Always wanted a Grasshopper but I lost interest for 20+ years and have just returned to the hobby.

This thread has had me checking google and youtube to find the cars I used to run. Brings back some good memories.

1. Tamiya King Cab (bought it second hand with loads of carbon upgrade bits, loved this truck)
2. Kyosho Lazer Alpha
3. Kyosho Sandmaster ST-2
