Taiyo VW Golf
I'm slowly getting there (completing 'my cars from back in the day' collection). This was my very first R/C car, that I got for 7th birthday back in 1981. Please check last pic down :D It took some years to figure out which car it was, and then suddenly I found this one in good condition for peanuts. It even has the battery cover and the battery tray is clean. It's quite tiny (especially compared to a Slash!!).

Wow - congratulations Kai! What a nice thing to find the car again. I bet a lot of memories shows up again!

yep, particularly when I made a test run in the living room: it got stuck in the gaps between the floor tiles

I would really love to have more old pics from my other cars back in the day, but I think that's about it for now.

I just found info about the car on the Taiyo website. It was released in 1980 (model no. 8003): [Click here]

Whoaa, serious 80's flashback! A friend of mine had a similar Opel Ascona, I think! Always great to bath in memories (which you did a lot in the last few weeks, it seems!)
supergreg

TOTALLY AWESOME DUDE. I have recently come across a photo showing my first RC,er wired controlled model. I am hoping I experience the same amount of luck finding it.
Good night, I need the electrical schematic of this model, where can I get it? I have a cart like that, it was a gift from my father over 30 years ago, this one with loose threads inside it, I would like to restore it, if you can help me, I thank you from now on, I am from Brazil and I did not find that I could fix it.

Unfortunately the link above is no longer working. I'm sorry to say I don't know where to get a schematic.
