Remember writing down the item you wanted, filling in your credit card information, mailing the slip in... then waiting a few weeks for your new thingy to show up?! Those were the days!

I remember doing COD for my RC stuff

Hard to imagine now, but I (or my mom

) would write a check and give it to the UPS driver.

Pomona is still just a stones throw from me. Thank you for the memories.

I would love to find a MnM raceway flyer from Corona ~1990.

Did Cox and Kyosho have a partnership!?

I believe Cox was their US distributor back then.

About 13 or 14 years ago I visited the RPS in Pomona, and picked this up. It's been worn and washed a lot, now it's time to preserve it while it still looks somewhat ok....:)

Last post

If you search the location in Google maps or Earth of the RPS you can still see the outlines of the historic track that was in the area behind the shop. Looks like a parking lot now!
