I was in my local private Hobby/RC shop and happened on a real Blast from the Past. They had a very good condition for the years and likely use Tamiya Frog Buggy. These were the 5H1t back in my day. I remember saving up forever and also getting help from Grandma and my parents to finally order this guy. It was fun to assemble not too difficult and being Tamiya it was precisely engineered even back then. The technology was mechanical with servos controlling both throttle and steering. Range was ok. The battery was big and heavy, took what felt like forever to charge and I couldn't afford a spare let alone an upgraded battery. But damn it was fun, fast and durable.
Here ya go OG's a blast from 1987 Takin ya back to the old skool cuz I'm an old fool. and it included the original box and paperwork/instructions:
Typical floppy steering setup. The skid plate is in much better shape than mine ended up and I cant remember how many sets of tires I burned through.
Back in the day I think it was in the $400 range. They want $140.
Hope you enjoyed-
