In an odd turn of events, I still own a Radio Shack Air Beam buggy...found it while cleaning out an old armoire in the garage so I could move it to let maintenance in to fix the collapsing ceiling sheetrock...
I'm gonna see if the the old NiCad batts will hold a charge this weekend and if they do, then I have another toy to drive into the ground. I haven't seen the thing since 99, didn't know it made the move, so god only knows if it runs...
thats pretty kool. i also found my old dragster in m&d's attic last weekend. its gotta be 30 years old at a minimum. it is not r/c but runs off a airplane engine & nitro. imma post a pic of it later.
Frddy, was it one of those little Cox engine dragsters that had a parachute?
These things came out in the early 70's and I got one. There was no steering, you just started it and hoped it went straight.
I ran it about 4 times and it screamed. I swear the thing did 60mph, but I was a kid so I am sure that's exaggerated.
On the 5th run it smashed into a curb and then a tree and broke in several pieces.
I never fixed it, but thought about this thing my whole life.
I found one in the box on ebay for $300 a couple of years ago, but that was too steep for nostalgia.

i think it might be, imma post some pics. it operated exactly how you just described, lol.
Sweet! That has to be it. I don't think there were a lot of choices back then. Can't wait to see some pics to take me down memory lane. I can remember exactly where I was when I ran this thing. Must have been 1978. lol
