The First RC Buggy / Car
Anyone have any ideas on this.
Well just in case you havent I have done a bit of homework and found this out. 1970 was when the first Kyosho prototype car was developed. It was 1/8 Scale. It had a slightly front tilting Ueda Engine. Radio used was a Futaba 1-Stick. Anyone better that date?

How about the Tesla Teleautomaton...
http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_robots.html not exactly a rc car per se, but quite unequivocally the first rc model. Patented in 1898.

Hegi in Germany made a Porsche Carrera 904 GTS in the 60:s.
The picture is from a magzine from 1965.  And Heathkit made the Spectre 1970.  And then we have the Dynamic 1970. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_m...79156&id=19103 And Nichimo made a Plymouth baracuda in 1966. http://hem.passagen.se/rc_museum/Bild/bild017.jpg I canīt think of any more right now.

Why not look on the Kyosho home website in Japan and you can see for yourself, true it is, and the entire history of Kyosho is on it, and a small amount is below,  1970: first prototype car completed. 1/8 Scale. Loaded with slightly front tilting Ueda Engine. Radio used was a Futaba 1-Stick. The Kyosho Dash 1 was also available to the public in October 1970 (one month after the showing of the 3 prototype cars, the first being in the picture above and the test was in a car park at Kokuritsu Gekijo in Miyakezaka Tokyo ) what came next?

The picture is from a magzine from 1965. Cool!!! What else, the more you delve the more you find!!! The pics look a bit like its been made up but doing it before 1970 was bound to happen.

I was saying that the image is not quite true in so far as I dont think the statement that the thread is useless without pictures is true - just that picies make it more interesting.

tomolupus - Sorted on the 1965 car info and yup the transmitters are huge, and the 70s car is great, was there anything earlier. I know the Germans in WW2 were working on development of RC stuff so was kindof hoping earlier but maybe this was where it all started. Nice on your PB1 car, its in better nick than some of todays cars. purpletimbo - Now we know who is the real serious collector here dont we, top notch on getting your hands on that manual.

 would love one of the cars, but will have to content myself with Kyoshos for now

Perhaps the first rc "off-road buggy" was the Rough Rider? I don't know. I'm sure that the Rough Rider definately was early - being released on 1 Nov 1979, but it was mass produced...

The Ishimasa Rat-Buggy was the first off road buggy, about 72. Then the Kyosho Dash 3.
Kyosho was first with electric buggies, with the Eleck Peanuts in 1978, a conversion of their popular Peanuts series of buggies and truck. Tamiyas first off roader was the Cheetah, also in 78. it was a first in having double wishbone suspension all round, but being 1/12th scale it wasn't not quite big enough for proper off roading. The Rough Rider was the first 1/10th scale off road buggy with independent suspension, and the grand daddy of electric off road racing. The first buggy designed purely for racing was the AYK 566B. The first 4wd competition buggy was the Hirobo Rock'n City, it's also the first 4wd with belt drive and double wishbone suspension. The first competition cars were made by Ra/Car and Ron Moody in the US, and the first US championship meeting was won by George Siposs in 1969. Other makes around at the time were Heathkit, Dynamic, Schuco-Hegi and Mardave.

We shouldnīt forget that Hirobo made their first off-road car in 1973.
