My Original Hornet

This is from - 1986? My back yard growing up. The Hornet was my first RC car, and I had to save up from chores & allowance to pay for half of it (& the radio, battery & charger), and my parents paid the other half. By the time of this photo the original Hornet body was well used, beaten up and missing its wing. A pre-painted Parma Stinger body from the local hobby shop was the replacement. I used some NASCAR Skoal Bandit stickers. My friend down the street got a Frog when I got my Hornet, and we spent that summer driving them all over! Check out that charger - just a 30 minute timer - that's it.
