I used to have a Rocky way back. Got it from a guy at school for free, he jus tgwanted to get rid of his stuff. If I remember correctly it had a chain drive. I never did get it running, and lost it when my house burned down in '91.

I bet! They must nose dive pretty bad over big jumps. It probably had very few advantages over typical 2wd and 4wd, with all the disadvantages of each. I think the reason I want now is more for the fact that it is a bit of an oddity. As for the Rocky, I'm pretty sure I've never saw one in real life. But hey, like with all my other vintage scores, once the hunt is over, the magic sort of disappears. Maybe I'm better off not finding one.

Well how about the Kyosho USA-1 with dual O.S. speeds in it.

Two things that I always wanted... Kyosho Inferno DX (like 96 when it came out I think??) and the Mugen MBX4RR Worlds with the over driven front end... 2 that I always wanted and saw them both new in box even a few years ago but didn't get them

Gump... we can make that happen!

My dream car as of now is a JQ Products THE CAR with a Reedy 121vr (and get it modified by Niel at clockworks), Reedy 2035 pipe, 2 JR z9100hv servos, Spektrum DX3R and a nice new pit box to transport it in. I could have just said THE CAR but it wouldn't be much of a dream car without the power plant and the electronics without those it would just be an unmovable roller.:IDEA:

2o years ago the connelly v8 was selling for over 2500 bucks and the 1/4 scale cobra was almost 2000.00

Those things were the ultimate rc to me

Still making them engines too......They don't offer it in anything but the T bucket now but there is a guy on youtube who is building a 1/4 scale gravedigger using a connelly engine.

Were getting old Earl! lol

I got my Ultima in '87 at the Hobby Show. I was so stoked about it.

OK, so my memory is off by a couple of years, LOL.

Still doesn't diminish how badly I wish I'd bought one at the time!!

I think the Ultima was released in '87 :P

The RC10 had just really come out and won the Worlds in '85.
