Any of you remember the BigTrak? And it even has it's own Wiki page!

I had the darker gray one, wish I still had it!
This was right about the time the RC toys were showing up in the toy stores, my first RC was called Firefox, it was a Lamborghini Cheetah, can't remember who made it, wasn't radio shack tho. And my second (I think) was the yellow Jeep that had real inflatable tires and IIRC it only went forward or reverse and turn lol.
Yeah them were the days uhhhh I guess...... maybe not so much for RC!
