your first kit
do any of you guys still have your first r/c kit? if ya do, post them up.
here's my midnight pumpkin. i got this in early '88. it's still pretty much original, except for an esc, a joel johnson stock motor, hpi wheels, and a set of proline mashers.
it spends alot of time riding on the rear bumper with the mashers on it.

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

My first Frog is long gone. Here is a vintage picture of it with a rear cage I made in my high school welding shop
When I graduated high school I gave my brother several cars and trucks. I did however keep a Hilux chassis and a Tamiya Fox. The Fox eventually got sold off but the hilux chassis was transformed into this truck

It's a Juggernaut body on a Hilux chassis. I built this truck about 3 years ago. I put quite a bit of effort in it then Tamiya goes and releases the High Lift with my paint scheme no less.
BTW scr8p, the pumpkin and Lunch Box are one of my favorites. I have a few of them. Below are the built ones but I have probably enough parts and bodies for another 3 of them.

Mine was/is a Tamiya Fox. It's in the original box, looking something like Ferretti's Cheetah.
I want to put it back together, but I don't want to "restore" it. I know it needs a couple parts, but not much. I'd like to get it together to throw on the shelf in the condition I last used it in. I think it would be a cool survivor and be good for memories. It's last incarnation had an RC10 Sidewinder body on it, which I also still have.

shodog - that mgd lb is freakin sweet.
on that green mp, is that a blower setup from one of those american muscle diecast cars?
for quite a while, i had one of the those parma bigfoot shuttle aerostar bodies on mine. i still have it floating around here somewhere.
edit: it think it's muscle machines, not american muscle

That"s funny, I used to work in a hobby shop in that time... That was one of our best seller! Much like the Tamiya Striker but not the same (I think)justinspeed79 wrote:My first kit was a Futaba FX-10, only the coolest car ever made. LOL. It's long gone though. I would like to get another someday one just for the heck of it.
