What was your First RC vehicle??
Been browsing Ebay and stumbled across a listing which had me feeling all nostalgic. It was for my first ever RC vehicle, a 1985 Tandy Dash truck.
Where did everybody else's RC journeys start??

I had a few cheaper smaller ones before this but I too had a Truck like that from Tandy , wasn’t as early as 1985 though probably more like 1991/1992 . Remember so looking forward to going to get it only to be disappointed at how slow it was when I got it home lol .

To be fair I don't think I got mine in '85 either, late 80s I think.
A few years later and my Grandad spoilt me with a Cougar 2 Team from Otley Modelsport as it was back then. All ready built at the shop too, with a Futaba Attack SR transmitter. To say it was an upgrade was an understatement!! I broke too many front ends on that and was always losing circlips from the front hinge pins!

My 1st RC car was a Knight Rider, made by a company called Matsushiro, or something like that, they also made a Miami vice Ferrari and Facemans Corvette.

I treated myself to a Tamiya Super shot, with my first wages from the apprenticeship I started at Kodak in 1986!!!

1984 with one of these badboys
It did miles and I was forever asking for new batteries. I didn't get serious with RC until 1994 when I got a Mardave Cobra!
