my first "ok" car was a Nikko in 1990. it was running a rs380 motor. It had the little turbo switch on the remote.

next was a kyosho Raider in 1994. Got it at a garage sale for $25 RTR.

Then I got my Traxxas Bandit in 1997. Beat that to hell.

Then I got another Bandit in 2002, Pede there after and My current Maxx at the end of 2002.

Newguy, didn't you have a Rustler before you got the maxx? A rustler is a "real rc" in my eyes anyway.
