RC Car Recommendation?

Glad i could help you out. I messed with these a lot when i was younger. I gave my Tamiya rough rider buggy to my brother years ago, when i was getting out of the hobby.

Recently when he was going thru all his old RC stuff he found it. By this time, this thing was pretty much a stripped out chassis. He boxed it up and sent it to me as a surprise with a note saying "its yours" and something to the effect of "Matt you will know what to do with it".

Tamiya had reissued this kit, so i was able to buy all the pieces to restore it to new condition including a new OEM body.

I keep it in my shop on a shelf, and run it around once in awhile and my 3 year old boy chases it trying to catch it. Its nice to still have it as its something i worked hard for as a kid to buy. Then i built, and over time modded the hell out of it back then and raced it in R/C offroad buggy classes pretty competitively until the AWD cars came out.

At 15 years old i was done. I had a 68 charger in my folks garage, and my attention turned to real cars after that.

I bought my rough rider buggy kit in 1981 so WOW thats a long time ago to still have it after all these years. Thanks for returning it Mark. I love ya bro.
