what RC got you to this ADDICTION??

[Red Rockcrawler]

I got started with a Royal Crusher in 1988. Then bought a Tamiya Astute upgrade to a original rc-10t. Joined the service took break from rc then bought a Yokomo yz-10 to make a truck conversion but sold it, then bought Traxxas Sledgehammer and a Clod Buster. Then joined RCC and bought more.

I still own my Royal Crusher, rc-10t, Sledgehammer. Royal Crusher is in pieces but here is my rc10t and sledgehammer.

Hpi Rush

I dont have any pictures of it, but I still have it, I raced it when I was 5 or 4. I went to the track when my dad had the first HPI Savage.

But I had the exact same body in the picture and still have it, though its cracked every where, with probably 2 pounds of staples in it. :mrgreen:

A futaba fx10 was my first "real" rc and shortly after a marui big bear. Just got rid of both of them a few months ago:roll:

I got one of these Max Machine vans in 1978-79 for Christmas. It was controlled by an actual clicker.

Blast from the past :shock:, i had that one too, you had to figure the distance and angles it would have to turn and then program it on the keyboard, I loved mine, my dad gave it to me when I was 12 I think, pretty cool toy back then, nut so was the verti-bird back then"thumbsup"
