@East Antrim Buggy Club the acoms transmitter I remember selling them by the box load when worked in the modelshop

@East Antrim Buggy Club Cool 😎 see I’m learning had seen them over the years think I may have even had one for brushed motors but didn’t get enough time to actually figure it all out. Maybe not with my motor it’s hobby wing Justock so I think fixed timing

@East Antrim Buggy Club there you have it out first pinned comment an awesome piece of knowledge to be shared thanks for this buddy

Absolutely, Tom — most RTRs will just slot into the usual classes by scale (1/5, 1/8, 1/10) and then split again by electric/nitro and car type like buggy, truggy, truck, touring car, mini, etc. So they don’t need their own category — they just fit into whatever class matches their size and style. I’m the same as you: I love building kits and always have… but it was actually an RTR that got me into RC. My local model shop was selling the Traxxas T-Maxx back in the day, and they pushed towards getting a club going for racing. I’ve been along for the ride ever since!

@Tom Morris Great memories, Tom — the Manta Ray and those early Kyosho kits were brilliant back then! What’s funny is how many racers I’ve spoken to who started the exact same way: a Tamiya kit was their first proper step into racing. It really was the gateway for a whole generation. Class to hear your story
