mine was an MRC 2 stick, but I can't remember the model. It's in a box somewhere though. It was paired with a brandy new grasshopper kit for xmas, which was built in under 2 hours, and in under 3, I had the car dumped into the sewer, hahhah.....good times, good times, life in the city. My brother got the exact duplicate setup at the same time.

Not sure if it's the first I had but I remember back in the day my Father and I raced with Airtronics XL2P's. Later on when I got back in the hobby the first time I ran a Futaba Magnum Sport with my 10T Team Truck. Wish I had never sold that setup, but needed the money. Good times, those were.

Sweet, I was waiting for one of those. Anybody have or seen one of these boxes with a slot car pistol control grafted onto it? The origins of the pistol style radio I believe.

Futaba Magnum JR. Still have it, still works perfect in the Pumpkin. By far my favorite radio all-time. I would like to have a Futaba 1st gen PCM though. They were the Mercedes of controllers at the time they came out. :mrgreen:

Tower Hobbies 4 channel in an aluminum case I put in my Hot Shot they held up very well for what it was put through (both the car and the radio).
