My first RC "Big Rig" was a Wedico Freightliner COE and container trailer.
I purchased it from a dealer in Jolly ole England. I assembled it but had no way to charge the battery. Hobby shops just laughed at me when I took the battery pack and asked for help. So it sat on a shelf until my first move. Then it got packed up and stayed that way for about 15 years. One day about 6 years ago while rearranging my basement. I came across the box. I decided to google Wedico and I found PMD. My first RC truck was Tamiya Hilux. I still have an 80's Tamiya Ford Ranger with 2 bodies and a Wild Willy. I tried RC helecopters back in the 80's as well. Decided keeping things on the ground was cheaper that letting them find the ground at high rate of speed.

My first truck and in progress truck is a Tamiya King Hauler. I am more in the construction side of things so never really pursued a truck really. I am currently in the process of money hoarding for a $7500 dollar Cat excavator. Should have it by end of next summer. Pretty pumped about it. Anyways, I really like the Tamiya trucks because they have such huge potential for anything. The things some of these guys come up with are just outstanding.

My first RC's were Tamiya Fox and RC10 back in the 80's. Then I did nitro and electric on road Associated and HPI. Never kept any of them was always selling to get a new one. I was a military kid so I loved building static aircraft models and I had so many planes my ceiling was covered. Mom tossed them all when I was in college and I haven't built one since. RC combined with scaleness was appealing so I bought a Globe to make a k100 for my first big rig.
