A mate at school raced them and the local club (Kiddy) came to our school for a demonstration meet during our School Summer Fair. He had a Marui Hunter which he was selling to buy a Hotshot and I pestered my dad to buy me radio gear and I would get the car. As it turned out he bought me everything I needed to get started and my mates dad even installed all the radio gear for me. Not long after I sold the Hunter for an Optima and my mate swapped his Hotshot for an RC10.
Stuck with those for a while and gave up when we noticed girls and beer.
Last weekend I stripped down my Optima to renovate it, first time it's been touched with a screwdriver for about 18 years or more.
