And that is what it's all about! I enjoyed following along. I got into rc's not to long ago, so while I don't feel the nostalgia like some of you, I still enjoy a good build thread. And this was a good build thread.

A buggy made back when they looked like real buggies. Love it. You did a great job!

The original Tamiya red HotShot was the 1st RC I think I ever saw. 1985 was it's release? By 1986, I saved enough $$ to get an RC, but the Boomerang just came out, was less expensive, so I got it & an Airtronics stick radio. Horizon & Tower still carry the re-release HotShot. I will probably pick one up eventually. Really enjoyed the build here.
