Hi,
My first contact with a real RC car was in the early 1980 when I saw a guy running a fresh built Tamiya Rough Rider at the park near my house, i immediately fell in love with RC cars and started asking one to my parents everyday….
My first real rc car arrived in 1982 and it was a Playtron Mercedes 500K buggy but considering my young age I had lots of problems to have it running since I had no idea on how to regulate the carb.
Even if I loved the Playtron I had to sell it for an easier car to run and my first Tamiya arrived, a nice and new Wild Willy, I run it so much that i had to change the motor (no more brushes) and gears. After the WW I had a lot of cars, just to name a few: Kyosho Scorpion, Sand Scorcher Subaru Brat, SG Samba (1/8 Nitro 2WD), King Cab, …
After 1991 quit the RC for Motocross racing and girls…… :o))
Then in 2002 I bought a Wild Willy 2 and the madness start again, and started to collect again starting from all the models I had plus all the other I always desired but never had the chance to buy. Playtron nitro buggies (Mercedes 500K and Viva Arizona) and Wild Willy (SWB & LWB) became my speciality I have so much of them that I lost the count…..
At the moment I have more than 60 cars (Nib, runners, Shelf Queens, New Built……) and a ton of spares.
Aside of collecting old cars I also started racing 2WD buggies in the national and local championship, waiting for the TRF201 release I raced a lot my Dyna Storm, that after a lot of work became a reliable and fast race car that gave me a lot of satisfaction.
Bye
WWD
