Pretty interesting history of RC. Worth a watch.

Makes a video about the history of radio control while making the faux pas of calling them remote control.

Also, the Elettronica Giocattoli (ElGi) Ferrari 250LM was from 1966 not 1964... Oy vey.

Still worth a watch though if you didn't already know the information as it's only 7 minutes.

Edit: Testor's also came out with an R/C Mustang in 1966 but don't know which hit the market first. R/C was used to control cars long before that but those were the first two consumer R/C models I believe.

One of the requirements to get on this board is to list your first RC car in your details. It's interesting to see what people list. So here is your chance to tell your story.

Mine was a Tamiya Frog that I got a few days before my 13th birthday. I...

I have had a chance to have some experience with this system and it is seamless. It does not save you from bad driving but it does make trouble spots a little easier. I was impressed with it and if the auto makers could make the stability and...

Hi fellow RC10ers,

I’ve searched the web with no real satisfying answers, so I ask the best RC community on the web.

Are there any Pisol grip or lever remotes out there that for small children’s hands?

I’m looking age 5 and up.

Thanks, Tony

HI!... I've picked up a lot of RC-10 lots in the last few weeks. These parts came in one of the lots. I don't have the faintest idea what RC vehicle they belong too. Can anyone here help identify them? Looks like front/rear A arms and a rear shock...

Ok, Associated experts, what uses part 6561? DriveGear Shaft, Use With Fixed Gear Hub 6562 Only.
Trying to get these parts organized by model and this one has me stumped.
See pic as well.

Thanks for the help.

Ahhh, that makes sense. This dealer had a track for running dirt oval races.
