    You will never go wrong with Kyosho or Tamiya
    I have one, a Kyosho Peugeot 206 WRC 4x4, I had it since 2000

    Lil's Hobby Center sa Megamall ang parati kong tambay dati. Tamiya ang marami siya although marami din ibang brand and models (planes, heli, boats, etc).

    I had an old Ford Escort RS Cosworth Tamiya R/C, I still have it, and my friend still begs me to give it to him

    Next time I get one, I'll make sure it's the gas type engine and not the electric type. I think the good ones today cost $300.

    Before the Tamiya, I had the classic R/C kuno na may cord tapos I graduated from that and got a Nikko R/C named Big Bubba. Then I got an old Ferrari na forward/reverse/left lang kaya niya, no right turn (weird no?). Tapos ayun, yung Tamiya na...

    Last time I went to Circuit City they were selling R/C models with a horn, lights, blinking flashers, engine sounds and an interior to boot! Iba na mga models ngayon compared nuon.

    Heck, even Top Gear and Fifth Gear make their own full scale remote control cars!

    Hanggang ngayon yata, Lil's Hobby Center pa rin ang puntahan ng mga R/C enthusiasts. There's also one shop on Shell station sa EDSA Southbound (opposite Camp Aguinaldo Gate 5), not sure if they have anything else besides the miniature R/Cs (Tamiya Bit Char-G).

    I remember nung elementary ako, sikat ang Boyel nun among other shops specializing in R/C models. Wala na ata yun ngayon.

    GS, he might want to consider one of these, drifting RCs, pero puwede din ata yung mga tamiya may gagawing modifications lang.

    'Have Tamiya CRV, Hummer and F-150 Lightning. Bought them sa Lil's Hobby (Megamall) shop in '99 when I was assigned there sa 'Pinas as a consultant to a telecom firm..

    Bili ko lang noon - $200 for all three including 3 controllers. They're still in good working condition although I haven't played them for a while.
