I had a whole collection of Stompers!  Even got one wound up in my sisters hair!

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

The Stompers would go like crazy with an AAA battery and a small block of tin-foil to make up the difference of length between the AA & AAA batteries.

Used to race them in 4th grade outside before school started.  I never took the body off mine and I never lost either!  Hahahaha....  Trouble with the AAA battery was that it didn't last for shit so I used to keep a spare with me 'just in case'...

"Old School" modder.

Apparently it runs deep.

*and* Old School drag-racer....  apparently THAT runs deep too...   

Never thought about it though, but we were drag-racing those things.  Hmmm....

The cats I lived with growing up took great pride in attacking my Stompers ~

Stompers ruled.  :)

I had a Bronco one that I put wheels and tires from a 1/24 scale model 4x4 pickup and did a body lift on it for the new rolling stock to clear. It rocked and all the neighborhood kids wanted it.   8)

I got a yellow Toyota pickup on my birthday (dunno how old I was, but I have pics), and one of the Stomper Peterbuilt trucks.

I never did use the foam tires though.
I think I had one of the swamp tire ones too.

That was the original intent of R/C cars.  [evil]

Looking for visual aids for this post, and came across this:



Maybe time to revisit R/C, even if I don't have pets.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
