Remote Control Cars for Kids

Summary: Remote control cars are very popular especially with kids. Here is a photo probably taken around the mid 1980s. Popular at that time were Tamiya rc cars such as the Superchamp, Wild Willy, Sand Scorcher, Rough Rider, Ford Ranger XLT and Holiday Buggy. Also popular were the Kyosho Tomahawk. Hundreds of kids would show up to go racing. It's time to bring the hobby back to the kids.
