    It's funny seeing cars from my collection being talked about as history. Especially the slot cars. I still race slot cars from the 60's to this day. Many of the RC cars you talked about i still have in brand new condition. I raced an RC10 back in 1988 and still have them now, hell I've got a brand new one. Oh my god l'm old🤦🏻‍♂️.
    I knew when they started calling the cars and parts "vintage" I was in trouble. Thanks for the memories bud 👍

    Thank you Nikola T, you gave us so much. My first RC car?. About 1975-ish, from Shucks Auto Parts. A two button mini steer wheel controlled Imsa car. Left, right, forward, back. Preset speed in either direction. Your speed was dependent on how fresh the batteries were. I liked doing the 'Jim Rockford" 180° spinouts in reverse with it, with the fresh batteries in. My last new Build?, A Xray XB808 4wd Buggy, that won me ALOT of races. Still have it. I found one of the limited edition 1/10 scale Mugen Seiki MST1 nitro trucks, still in the box, with Novarossi engine included. They only made them for a couple years. Going to put that one together soon. I am making a parts pile for it, because of the rarity.

    The very first Nitro RC car was the 1964 Feldmann from Germany. Probably the first RC car ever. Later in the 1960s, companies like Micart (1966) and Dynamic (1968) produced the first vehicles in series. Kyosho´s Dash 1 from 1969 was the first successful model.

      How do the controls work on it? Can it reverse? Is steering proportional?

    • @ctct4565

      @@ChinaExpatsRC It's very simple. You can lock it. Go forward and turn left and right. The speed is only a 5/6km/h. But for me it's just cool that they made this in 1966.
      It is surprising how many batteries are required for this. 6 times an LR-14 and another 9V block battery.

    Ok, i never really thought about that I, as a 80s kid, basically witnessed the rise of commercial RC Cars.... Which makes sense, as when I was a kid- cars that were tethered with a cable were still a thing.

    I have one of the Porsche 962 Tyco cars still, with a full hobby electronics upgrade. No room for a different battery though, so it still uses 8 AAs. Ive had most of the 80s buggies on here also, as an adult, and not repops either. I still have a Custom Works Dominator chain drive dirt oval car too

    • @digiprez77
      @digiprez77 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That little Porsche got me started in RC pretty much... I got a couple of the 9.6 volt cars afterwards then started saving my money for a hobby-grade one. I eventually got a used Blackfoot that was nicely modded for dirt oval racing. I used to drool over those Dominators at the track... They were way out of my budget lol.
