That brings back old memory's. I used to have the old Jet Hopper back in the 80s, wasnt as quick as those beasts.

Nice collection ozziii. I have an RC car it's bit rough looking. Can you suggest any good RC buggys preferably electric? Thanks.

There's a fair few around these days TFK, just really comes down to how much you want to spend, the 2 new orange ones in my post were $650 each, thats just the car kit, no wheels or tyres, no engine, no servo's & no radio gear, but they are 1/8 racing kits so cost a bit more, they can take a beating though & they don't break too easily, they can be purchased for electric brushless motors as well & run on 4 to 6 cell LiPo packs. You also need oils for the diffs & shocks for tuning if racing.
The 1/10 stuff is a bit cheaper but they don't jump as good, break easier & just don't look as good.
If you just want a buggy to bash around with then there is the RTR (ready to run) versions, not sure on cost but normally cheaper than a pro kit.

Hey SC75, My brother & I started with the Jet Hoppers as well, had a fair few since then though.

I'm an all classic hoarder n proud

Do you know hoarding is now classified as being very healthy for mental health issues! As long as your 'collection' is organised and not just pure junk, you cannot be hassled by anyone.

Rules me out then. I'm sure I have mental health issues surrounding it. At the very least an inflated sense of my life span. I'll be 300 before I get to every project! Working in scrap metal just fed the addiction. Haven't been to a clearing sale in a while though. Still a lot of great memories of my dad's dad and him with me tagging along putting the "bargains" on a truck and heading home. It's intergenerational for me.

Mmmmm...scrap metal *drools*
