The first 38 seconds scared me and how does he sit with jeans that tight.? Horrified by that. Oh and I'm so glad I missed having to dress like that to be cool.Thankfully all I had to do was start smoking to look cool. lol NOTE:KIDDY'S I WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL ANYWAYS WITHOUT THE SMOKES,SO DON'T SMOKE BECAUSE YOU MAY ALREADY BE COOL.

[XrayThunder]

[clint3man]

I used to have this video. Kinda corny but is shows some really cool 1/4 scale cars.

>>>> sweet... I still have my Team Associated RC500 that I bought back in 1988.... it's the 2wd version with a Novi Rossi gold head engine from the same time period.... dummy me never converted it to the 4wd-2 speed version which were wicked fast for the day.........

Rad Maxx here (the guy with the eyebrows):

Glad people liked the video...Shot in the summer of '88, in Colorado and California by RC Video Mag, headed up by a guy named Ken Wells. Producer/editor was Joe Megura, who still lives in Boulder. My on-camera stuff was shot at Bandemere Speedway west of Denver, and Blake's Auto salvage, CO.

Had a ball writing it (coming up with 10-15different ways to say model car),

The junk yard remote vs. radio control scene is waaay cool.

@TheTGLewis Oh my god. That's you? Incredible. I still watch this video sometimes. Is it available on DVD? Or can I get the music? Were you in any other videos? The junk yard scene is hilarious! Man I grew up with this video. If thats you... incredible

[albertslusser]

Thanks for the video! I Still have this tape in VHS! It was how i got started in R/C in the early 90's!

[jojojojopeace18453]

I use to race at ranch pit shop.I dont know if its still around nowadays.That was ten years ago for me now.thx for the video.I used to have this tape too.Pretty funny.

[BradComis]

4:20 driving isn't very impressive, lol. Actually quite a well put together video. Cool to see this classic stuff!

[gigantor888]

I had the great pleasure of working on the production of this program with R/C Video Magazine, way back in the day. Shot on 3/4", BetacamSP, and 16mm film.

[LiveSteamMad]

Do you still have the original mastertapes for this or any other RC productions?

[ToppervisionEnt]

WOOOOOW! I have this tape! That was 20 years ago?!?!?!? Yikes! Thanks for reminding me. I may have to go watch it on clean, crisp, 20 year old VHS. I'll just have to dig out the tape.....oh, and the VCR! lol.

[gtfour93]

I used to have a Magnum Jr. & Airtronics pistol grip radio like that back in the day. Nostalgic!

[sonicfreeze]

O_O Holy...

I remember watching this video every day when I was like 6. Now i'm 20 and I pop it in every once in a while because it reminds me of being a kid. I thought I was the only one who saw this. This quality is good, do you have it on DVD?

Also I really want to find the songs from this video. Anybody?

[LiveSteamMad]

I only have this on VHS. Sorry.

Cheers,

i have this vid also. great vid for the price of $10

[ComradeKalashnikov47]

cant find american rc cars anymore..

[idranbocaj]

I thought I was the only one around who actually has this video. I purchased it from a hobby store in 1990. Oddly enough I still have it.

It's an awesome classic!!

[blackdelorean]

Very nice video of a golden age of r/c hobby.

One question, does anybody have information on the band that plays the opening song?

I've see on the credits that it's "Pleaser" but I can't find anything on them... the song is cool.

[Synthomania]

I`m a true fan!

[Cell306]

nice !
