I remember this ad back then, and actually brought the Madcap with starter plus pack, my first hobby grade rc. 

Still have the Techniplus, battery and charger laying around somewhere, car is long gone though.

If I had held out and saved my paper round money for a few more months, I would of got the King Cab.

Just noticed the 2nd rc I also purchased from here, Kyosho RS500 Cosworth, based on the Raider chassis.

I brought this after snapping the Madcaps chassis and having to constantly re-solder the mechanical speed controller.

Brings back many memories.

Same here.

My Dad bought it for me for my birthday one year from Beatties probably in 1990. Fantastic fun and very underrated buggy. :good:

The one I really miss, my favourite RC car at the time, is the Tamiya Fox (I know its not in the advert). I loved that car, put a nutty motor and changed the shocks on mine and had hours of fun. *sigh* Those old adverts bring so many good memories back.......

£49 in 1991 = £109.5 today
