My 1st real RC was a Kyosho Ultima around 87-88. The one Joel Johnson drove in the worlds and won with. I had to have it. Costed me $149 bux new. I mowed lawns and did odd jobs around the house all summer to get it. I also got the Kyosho Pulsar 2ch radio and a Leisure 107 charger w/ some 1200 packs and the original Trinity Monster Stock motor.

After that, I got the TURBO Ultima. That was even cooler! I wish I still had it :/
