Very cool!

Hey, remember the old Hot Shot and that line? The Grass Hopper and Frog too HAHAHA. I had the Hot Shot and I built a rocket launching backpack for it so I could shoot bottle rockets off it from my remote. Also had it completely protected with Aluminum plate that I cut on my dad's bandsaw Wish I had picks of that!

Also had the RC10 on my XMas list for as long as I could remember! They where the racer's Dream Machine back then!

Huh, now that we are all talking about these I forgot how many I had in my past and how much fun they are to mess around with
