Futaba 2PL, under £50, 10 model memory, few adjustments like end point and dual rate. Not overly complicated either. Great little radio, I use it for My TT01 drifter, Mardave v12 and Kyosho Pureten Alpha GP. I don't like the idea of setting up the centres each time I switch models. You could buy new RX crystals for each car or swap them over.

That's great!! Thank you very much-you are very knowledgable in our hobby. The car was infact "the winch". Also you have a dune buggy in box as well-what a coinsidence! To fill in a blank my younger brother had the "red Toyota Land Cruiser toy (also made by Nikko) from 1984-1985" and it was infact 2wd as you suspected. It was quite speedy for it's age and had great battery life too. We had many hours of fun with that Thank you again for your effort. As you can tell you have made my day

Hi. I have been a long time viewer of the club forums and find them very helpfull and entertaining. I have been trying to identify my 2nd real rc car circa 1985. It was a red Toyota Land Cruizer, quite detailed body I remember 4x4. The 4x4 was acheived by a steel hex driveshaft that ran through the centre of the car and could be seen from the battery case when changing batteries. I beleive it ran on aa batteries, 4 or 6, i am not sure. It had a stick type controller and I am pretty certain had a manually selected HI and LO gearbox switch. Working light on the front possibly? Also, if you are feeling up to it my first car was a radio shack dune buggy in yellow. plasctic tyres and 1 wheel drive on the rear axle. We are speaking early eighties here now! Many thanks all.
