Traxxas Sledgehammer. Still own it.
Check out those tiny little tires.
Two wheel drive.
That's what passed for a Monster Truck
back in 1989.

My first r/c truck was a Kyosho Big Brute. That thing was put threw some of the worst abuse! Little suspension travel and bouncy tires, it was great.

My first was a Nikko Buggy, just an el'cheapo but its what my parents could afford and I loved it. I took it apart for some reason and lost everything. T-maxx was my second, almost 20 years later.

First ever, or First REAL R/C????

First ever was some cheapo Tyco POS, but at the time it was fun... Kept chasing the dog.

First REAL r/c was the T-Maxx, used, but still ran good....

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.

My mistake, I had the Rustler for such a short time, I forgot about it.... That was my first "Real" R/C, then thanks to Tex, one week after meeting the group, I had a T-Maxx. Shortly after that, the Savage. Now the Maxx is leaving, and the LST is going to be the next. Will it be the last?



DOUBT IT!!!!! lol
