Sears Ford Ranger
The Frog was not my 'first RC car' this Sears Ford Ranger was truly the first RC car my parents bought me when I was a little kid. I found this one new in box on Ebay, it is amazing what you can find on Ebay. It is bringing back so many memories. I remember my family had a little ankle bitter dog that I would terrorize with this truck, the dog had no chance if I had new batteries lol ;-). And I remember my original truck still worked during the Frog days until I had a bright idea. I had the idea to remove the body from this truck and hook up the 7.2V battery from my Frog directly to the motor on this truck. It hauled ass in my backyard for about 3 minutes until the motor burned up. Being a kid was so much fun :-)

Wow, that is cool. I have given up hope of finding my first TRUE rc car. It was a WIRED LEASH Jeep from Radio Shack. I think it was a gold color and it had a trailer I used to haul little things around and practice backing the trailer up a bunch. It did stink that it had a leash, but still fun.

I think one of my friends had one of these when I was a kid cause my nostalgic nerve is twitching. I love the shiny blue and the nice little motor.
