e100: Blast From The Past. My First RC’s: Kyosho Raider, Hi Rider Corvette & RC10 Championship

Take a stroll down memory lane as I reminisce about how I got into the RC hobby and what my first 3 hobby grade RC’s were as a child. Kyosho Raider ARR, Kyosho Hi Rider Corvette and RC10 Championship Edition

My first hobby car was the Tamiya Fox, but my second was also the Hi Rider Corvette but I put a much better motor and esc in mine, was hard to keep on it's wheels tho. Still into RC and fly heli's and a few planes along with a Xmaxx, TRX4 and a few other vehicles as well.

My first decent rc was a RS Golden Arrow.

Great video Ari!! Oh man the memories you brought back..lol All those cars have meaning to me, friends of mine had the Kyosho's..lol and the RC10 champ was my 2nd hobby grade rc. I'm currently in the process of restoring a Raider and just finished up a custom Carbon Fiber TQ-10 with Andy's, Lunsford, MIP, and RPM parts!! Hope you and your family have a Happy New year 🎉 Looking forward to seeing more great content bud 😊

Always loved the garish colours of the Raider and the Outlaw pickup version too. I still intend to get one at some point.

You should have told your uncle to buy a very fast brush motor time.

[darinschlabach]

You feature yourself in all of the videos. Damn Yankee. Kidding keep up your stuff. I do enjoy the fact that you do more Kyosho. Keep posting.

Great video, nostalgia for sure! Really enjoyed it! What was your first Tamiya car by the way?? My first was a Subaru Brat back in the day! Have one still but it's a rere! Love it though brings back many great happy memories! Cheers bud.

The Raider was probably the best beginner car in the late 80's It cost the same as the Tamiya Grasshopper but had way better suspension, power and technical quality. With upgraded shocks, tires, motor and ESC it could keep up with RC10's and Ultimas i all but initial acceleration.

I have a Radioer Pro. It's the exact same car as the regular Raider other than a new body, rear wing mount and different tires. Same chassis and shocks. It cost the same as the Grasshopper 2 in 1992.

Cool history story. Growing up somewhat of the same. Single parent home I do remember having 2 radio Shack rc cars. My grandfather had RC planes and boats and made those all himself. That's where I started. But didn't get back into the hobby till my late 30's and now loving it !

The Hi Rider Vette was my first hobby RC. I also went through the Tower Hobbies catalog every month, front to back over and over. Thanks for sharing your stories...

[RichBaggio]

Really want an RC10 but they seem to be so scarce. The only one I’ve seen in the UK is the re-release world’s car and the guy wants £550 ($720)!!!

I have THE BOSS with the same chassis, this is a slow rc car, I did put ball bearings and a brushless motor in it. now it ride like it should have been out of the box
good information and a great video.

[brucelevall]

What’s the high rider corvette from kyosho the same as the big boss from kyosho

[Mini-z]

For the new in box one, scan the decals for sure.
