My buddy still has a "Black Foot".

Years ago, the very first R/C kit I built
was the Tamiya 959...

Still have it (with a mint spare body, decals & misc. parts
bags) and some day it will get re-built. It's an awesome
kit but I can remember the high degree of difficulty it posed
for a novice back then.
After that, it was pan cars in both 12th scale and 10th scale
with Parma and Associated being my choices.

I have a Turbo Optima somewhere around the house. Fast as hell and 4 wheel drive. I had modified it with a belt drive and bearings and some other stuff I can't recall anymore.

I started out with the Blackfoot shown in a previous post. Sold that to my brother-in-law.

Damn, that's been like 20 years ago. :(

I had a bunch of old Hornets when I first started racing. Great cars! The only problem I had with them were the spider gear differential. They were a bit weak and had a tendancy to split. My uncle has the original Frog. Another great frame with the same weakness.

I was an RC10 guy back in the day. That gold anodized chassis dominated the local scene. The Losi's tried, but couldn't touch us. :P

Then the "stealth" transmission came out, oooooooooh, aaaaaaaah... lol

I've had over 10 grasshoppers and hornets(gone to ebay heaven recently), still have one hornet w/ aluminum shock upgrade kit, and a grasshopper with a crazy aluminum shock tower on the front. I also have a reproduction Frog, a Traxxas Stampede, a Tamiya Mini(fast as all hell), an HPI RS4 MT, and I just won an auction for a Losi XX CR. I've had tons of others, but they fell victim to ebay...I sold an upgraded blackfoot with no electronics for 210$ :D

Keep on R/Cing...
