I've got a Radio Shack Blue Shark buggy-sort-of-like car (I think it's called, also was sold as a Black Wolf--- full digital proportional radio). I nursed that thing along until all 4 tires were basically drag slicks, and the motor brushes finally wore out (the white plastic barrel from a Bic Round Stic ball point pen worked excellent around the rear axles to keep the plastic rear axle bushings from wearing out so fast). For a "kids toy" type car the thing was extremely durable. It was always fun to bring it out for the bigger toys (E-Maxx, etc.) to molest it lol. I did eventually have to reattach the wing though because it finally broke off at the rear of the hard plastic body from too many tires driving over it.
This is what molested everybody elses car when I was a kid. Both my cousin and brother had RC cars, nothing could catch this thing and it could easily catch anything. I took it to third grade once, another kid had a fancy 6wd thing that was supposed to be pretty hot stuff (everybody wanted one, they were all over TV) and I crushed it in a drag race.I've got a Radio Shack Blue Shark buggy-sort-of-like car (I think it's called, also was sold as a Black Wolf--- full digital proportional radio).

That looks pretty similar to the one I have, but maybe a prior model (I think mine was sold '93-'96 maybe? I believe it's made by Nikko).This is what molested everybody elses car when I was a kid.

I know it isn't much, but I went to battle with it many times as a kid and had a lot of fun with it. It still goes great, it is hard to control though with the front wheels flopping all over the place. I thought it would be a good idea to oil them once and I think that is what killed the front bushings. They look bigger than a normal pen barrel to me.
I was told once that it is based off of the "Golden Arrow" car of the 1980's.
I had a .15 nitro stampede but hit a wall at 30 mph damn that hurt to wallet
