I remember those last two 
It doesn't seem like that long ago though, late 90s as opposed to 80s, right?
Going even more modern, right up to today, my son has one of these little Maisto Rock Crawler Jrs:
It is very basic, and the steering is way bad, but it is SO much fun using it to climb over toys and stuff Seriously, I think I've used it way more than he has And for less than £20, well bargain!!!!

Finally found a pic of the 32 wheel truck. I think it was called "The Giant"
I'll have to dig mine out of the attic the next time I'm back home.

I LOVE the 80's! I've killed hundreds of hrs on retrojunk over the years. Tons of articles and old commercials.

My fingertips are bringers of death. Masters of destruction.
The wake of destruction that radiates from my posts can often be felt in threads hundreds of servers away. Panic to those who hear the tap of my keys and despair to those who stand in the aftermath of my words.
Fact be no match for the thoughts I convey. The characters of the keyboard be but pawns in my game of life or death as I sit in my throne before my laptop.
Flames fly from the keys as I share intercourse with my processor. Punctuation crumbles in my presence.
It has been said that men and women alike have gone blind simply from reading one of my posts. Anti-virus may block me for a moment or two, but the shrapnel of my words will eventually penetrate it and bring it to it’s knees wondering why it ever tried to stand before me.
Subject matter is obsolete in my search for conversation. You talk about wheel size, I talk about how long my dog’s hair is getting. You may scratch your head ‘til it bleeds, but you will never understand the deeper meaning behind what I post!
As years and opinions collide so will my ramblings.
Deep in the recesses of the internet my posts will live and re-populate. Leaving the smell of rot and waste behind them.
I do like Firefox’s spell check though.
Time to go fire up the grill.

I had a couple of fast traxxs back in the day. I think they where one of the best in performance toy grade rc's back in the day. I drove it through almost anything to include snow. I put a turbo hopper body on one of the nissan truck chassis and thought it was awesome. The only draw back was the trans housing was easily broken right where the molded in axle housings attached.
