Monster Beetles and Little Lancias: Looking Back At RC Car Action's August ... - Radio control Car Action (blog)

About the author Associate Editor I can say that I’ve never done ANYTHING as long as I’ve been into RC. I got my first car when I was 11 and never looked back. Since then I’ve owned hundreds of cars and trucks and raced everything from Off-Road to Boats but I’m an Oval racer at heart. When I’m not racing or writing, I like to restore vintage RC cars and organize the Vintage Offroad Nationals. The Mud Blaster (my favorite of the three personally) didn’t come out until 1989 actually and was sort of a in between model that was mostly Blackfoot but had the spiked tires from the Beetle and used the body from the original Tamiya Subaru Brat.
