  1. Finally, after years of looking, I've found myself another Taiyo Heads Up Hopper, in yellow... which was my first ever RC!

     

    Not sure what I'll actually do with an old, toy-grade buggy, of course, but I'm looking forward to it! Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

     

    Anyway, it's collectible and rare, so I'm sure I can sell it on for no loss, if nothing else! :lol:

      A nice find, nice to get one back.

      My first RC was the Taiyo Mini Hopper. I still have it and the box it came in. I  remember making a Lego trailer for it to deliver Christmas presents (I never got that Big Trak).

      I don't let my 6 yr old play with the little Hopper. He can break my Tamiya instead.

      Just went looking now for the first ever RC car I can remember owning which was a black & gold Porsche.
      This was back in maybe 1987 at a guess, ...thank goodness for Google images as I found out it was a Taiyo Porsche 911 Targa. 
      Brings back interesting and happy memories. ❤️
