your first rc car, and how you got into off road

[Tex]

first hobby class car was a Kyosho Raider 2 in like 1993.....I was into RC all my life but I could never afford to get a "good" rc car. The best cars I had up until then was

Lobo 2 (from Sears)
Golden Arrow (Radio Shacks top of the line)
And some of the bigger, faster Nikkos. Back when they had 2 stick controllers with a "turbo" shift on the throttle peg.
