Cool R/C cars

Sam

or cool R/C toy cars. I don't remember anything about these, but I do remember back when it seemed like all I wanted out of life was to squrit someone with one of those cars that had soakers, and then drive off. No doubt it was the effect of watching Boyz N The Hood as a child.
I also remember seeing a car that could tunnel through sand/mud.

Unfortunately I don't remember what those cars were, only that I really wanted them but could never find them anywhere.

What cool R/C toys do you remember?

edit- btw, this stupid forum is quite stupid even though it makes sense.

Tyco RC is the one that made all the badass cars you wanted when you saw their crazy over the top saturday morning cartoons as a kid, I remember every year some kid at school would show up with the newest model he got for christmas, and everyone would be jealous as hell.

Essentially you model a car / boat / plane, print it out and papercraft yourself a racer.

I got one of those microz's, it's fun, they get going fast enough with the engine upgrade thing that you can do decent donuts and 180's.

As for cars I always wanted when I was younger, I've always wanted to get a gas/nitro powered rc car. They're just awsome, and stupidly high powered. Plus with all the property we have, it's easy to take a rake and shovel out back somewhere and make a decent sized track.

Of course, that comes to around 200-500 dollars, soo...yeah.

I've always been torn between the dirt track buggies, or the pavement cars that are meant more for drifting/street racing.

Traxxas, if you like 70+ mph ankle crushers.


I had a Kyosho nitro helicopter, but it exploded.

This was pretty much the epitome of my childhood dreams.

I had to make do with cheap ready built ones, though they were less expensive to wreck.
