Did you have an RC as a kid? Show me a picture! Here's mine

[Armarookie43]

I don't remember the model but my mom bought it for me at Sears (or my aunt did). I'm 44 now and came back to the Hobby July last year in 2019.

I had a Yellow Nikko Thunderbolt buggy from the 80's. No pics unfortunately. I don't think this car exists anymore. It was at my parent's place and they have been getting rid of a lot of stuff lately.

No photos I'm afraid but we're in the same Boat!... I was RC crazy as a kid through my teens (Tamiya : grass hopper, hornet, lunchbox then onto Kyosho raiders, optima mid pro's, Schumacher Cats!). Now 44 & just got back into it during lockdown! As I've recently discovered... You never really lose the love of RC cars its just easy to forget your love for them in Adulthood!

I had that too, believe it was a Lobo. I broke mine the first day. A arm cracked because it was too cold.

One of mine...

Tamiya Madcap 1/10th.
I had others before it but that was my first real hobby grade RC.

We both got back into the Hobby at the same age (well I was 43 in July last year) Are you the one buying up all the RC'S? ?

No photos but I had a black 63 Corvette powered by cox fuel, it had to be run on a tensioned string with some kind of padding on the other end to stop it if it didn't run out of fuel. The burned fuel was addicting, loved the way it smelled. This was so long ago, forgot about it until I read the title of this thread, wish I still had it.

Looks like it might end up that way!... I've only had the V4 Kraton for a matter of weeks, just ordered the EXB & already know I want a talion! ?

Got back into the hobby Jan 2020, I'm also 44! I've bought the Big Rock, built a Granite on 4s, and most recently purchased the Outcast 6s. I'm on the waiting list for the Infraction. Can't wait!

 

[GRC]

Still can't believe Mom just threw out all my toys.

 

[arrma_tigger]

I've never really got out of it - I slowly kept getting deeper into it - with what I consider the first 'big boy car' in the 90's - the RC10GT. Sure, the Nitro Stampede came before it - but the RC10GT really hooked me.

Yeah I went overboard. I can't. It's mostly credit card debt. Oh well, it could be worse. I do work lots of OT but I'm slowing down and concentrating on parts now ?.

I didn't really have RCs but I lived in Japan when i was around 10 and these were huge back then. Basically see who's the fastest around the track. Excuse the poor paint choice and the other stuff in the box, these stuff are 30 years old!

Are those like giant slot cars? I used to love slot car track racing as a kid.

 

[ph47mf]

I had to google ''slot cars'' It's similar except these ones don't have that little thing at the bottom and you don't have a remote, you turn on the motor, put it on the track with sidewalls and just let it go round the track itself. Like this -
