I came across these photos of rc ads from 70 and 71. Thought I would share with my RCNT fellas.

You know, it'd be really cool if you were ultra good at r/c racing to take an old vintage car like that and race against modern cars and smoke em...hehe

That is exactly what I was thinking. And my wife thought $400 for my T was too much. Little does she know...

yes very expensive car. I bet if you can find these cars in mint condition, it would cost a weee bit more that $300.

When did they first put a nitro engine in a R/C car? I thought nitro was pretty old, but all these ads are electric I think.

Those remotes on the first ad look like zip zap/ microsizer remotes. Great find, thanks for sharing.
