I started with a falcon which got nicked out my parents car only days after Christmas when I was about 10.
Next was a manta ray which got ball raced and which I attempted to start racing but couldn't get the hang of the controls when the car was coming towards you

Next was a kyosho escort cosworth which was shit slow !

Had all sorts in between including nitro which are too loud.

I remember technigold motors but I think the best 540,s are now black but can't remember the name but are tamiya?

I've still got a 1:10 tamiya mk1 focus shelf queen in the spare room with hop ups which was raced by the previous owner...

The brushless motors now are immense !
