Ok this might be fun. What was your first RC Car? This will date some of the older guys on here. Oh yeah, and RCCA people, tell us too. Which one of you had a Sand Scorcher first?

As for me? My first car was the Ultima. Just the basic Kyosho Ultima.

My bro's was the Super Champ.

a losi xx sport

The original 10T when it first came out. It came with those narrow front tires, three piece wheels(no gluing tires). Ive still got that thing.

My first car was a Kyosho Optima buggy. I got it three years ago used and it still works.

Crash

Kyosho Hi-Rider monster truck (not counting all the Tyco r/c's a drove into the ground before getting a true hobby-quality car). I probably put 100,000 miles on that thing

Traxxas Stampede

tamiya hornet in 89

Marui Samuri, then a basic Ultima, finally a B3 that started life out as a B2.

Mine was a Tamiya TA02 F-150 Stadium truck, Bought last year.

Yeah, I'm new to this hobby.

Kyosho Rocky

an associated b3 sport kit

my first "hobby class" RC was a traxxas sledgehammer followed by a losi JRX-PRO when it was first released

It would be tyco car It was a kraco indy car
thats when I feel in love with RC

yup I went on buying look for more speed. till one day I found a magazine that was based on R/C cars.

yup R/C car action
I saved my allowence for 4 months

I baught a team associated R/C 10 team car with graphite chassie

I never experienced speed like that was in heaven.

I was clueless on how fast they could really be till I ready a issue about insane speed run.

I was like WoW. my sister said dont believe everything you read then I said yeah she probley right.

then one day I am with my friend in river park next to the 59st Bridge in NY. I witnessed the speed these cars can go when a guy had a 1/10 scale dragster with caster oil paint scheme. This was up and gone over 300 feet in a blink of an eye. I mean it literally, there was tire marks leaft about 3 feet distance. I couldn't believe my eyes

i am into R/C big time I am speed demon.
I use MT to drag just to drag against other RC cars and put em to shame hehehe. Yeah I lose some but that part that comes with racing and I must accept it and congradulate the guy on his win

recently another reality has broken a surf to me RC gas cars are fast
so I will begin a venture soon.

I race at suto shows though. my super fast RS4 MT thanks to HPI help and R/C car actions advice thanks. You guy scored me part in a auto club called ENKAY and I be demonstrating these extreme R/Cs at certain auto show hosted by speedworld in NY. the next one wont be till next year this years was awsome. I got some pics of the real machines unfortainately I none of R/C pic I promise I get em next year. There was guy with honda painted like his real car .

I have a RS4 MT I painted just for the auto show It look simple yet look awsome
matelic red and silver F 150 body

Actually RCCA did a rocket dragster car a LOOOONG time ago. They used a model rocket engine, some copper tubing to make a U shaped housing, the whole thing was sitting on an old Kyosho 1/12 scale on road car. Don't remember what issue that was in, maybe someone at RCCA knows, and you can get that back issue (if available).

My first was the original "golden bathtub" RC-10 with bushings.

Tamyia hornet for me, and i used the hump back battery, and the original futaba magnum junior, ended getting a new magnum sport for my stampede(second car) after working on it one day and frying the old reciever. hte stick rotary speed controller held up all those years I had it

well, i ot started when i first saw my bros futaba fx10 buggy (which i still have) that he bought in like 89 or 90. then, my friend bought an r/c car action. then i was set. i took my $250 in x-mas and birthday money, and went to riders hobby shop in lansing mighigan to buy my rustler.

i have since added $1000 worth of hop ups. soon to spend about $400 this x-mas to buy a new radio and esc and motor and batts and soem accessories so i can take my fusion and my tq radio and other motor and put it in my bros futaba fx10 buggy so i can have 2 cars and so i can (dare i say it) let my friends drive with me. ooohhh that one hurt. lol

rc kick arss......

My first REAL R/C was an RC10T a couple of years after it came out. It the only one I have and it still beats the **** out of me friends' Tyco and Nikko toy cars.

Traxxas rustler for me

Grasshopper, heh when i was like 7.. got a rc 10 ce when i was 14. So which ever one you consider an r/c car i guess.

My first was a team losi xxt. Ive had it for like 4 years and its still stock except a new set of wheels and tires and a new body.
Now I have a T-maxx, Yeah baby this thing is sweet.

I remember that jet article even though my first car is a TC3
