RC car. I got it as a kit. And sure I could put it together. At that time I had no patients for anything. So my dad put it together. I don’t understand myself back then at all. Looking back I wonder if I am still the same person. My name is the same but, I don’t act the same.
I had a Nicad battery and a transmitter with two sticks instead of a steering wheel and a throttle lever.
I wanted the lunch box RC van but, the store did not have that. Why could I have not waited. If I would have waited I would have go the lunch box. It was what I wanted. Back then I could not wait so I got whatever the store had. Why?
I did not do much driving once the hornet was together. Oh, I had a battery charger with a timer. It was not a peak charger. I should have learned about RC cars before I bought one.
I knew nothing about RC cars before I got the hornet. Except that batters go in and the car goes.
All I remember doing is driving the car around until the battery was dead. Oh, the transmitter took 8 AA batteries. I always wanted to get a rechargeable batter for the transmitter.
I painted the Hornet green instead of black.
I also thought the grasshopper was cool. I always wanted a grasshopper. I must like the name.
I wish I had drive the Hornet everyday and built a make shift race track. And I could have joined an RC club. Who knows I might be a decent RC car driver by now.
I also owned a soldering iron for to fix things on the RC car. RC cars are fun.
And the transmitter had a battery meter to tell the strength of the batteries in the transmitter.
Also I always wanted a nitro RC. I don’t think I would want one now because of the noise.
