Description: Released in 1984, the Hornet, is a legendary 2WD off-road buggy credited with sparking a global RC buggy boom. Known for its durable ABS bathtub chassis, sealed gearbox, and easy assembly, it was a popular choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. Like it's lower powered sibling, the Grasshopper, the Hornet's straight forward design, extreme durability and high performance made it a backyard basher and racer that provided countless hours of fun. Its enduring appeal has led to numerous re-releases and special editions, solidifying its status as a collector's item and childhood icon in the world of radio-controlled hobbies.
Description: The Clod Buster is a 1/10-scale radio-controlled monster truck released in 1987 that is seen as a game changer for R/C enthusiasts. With its four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, twin 540 motors and huge 165 mm tires, it quickly became one of the most popular radio-controlled model kits of all time. The Clod Buster and its related models virtually spawned an aftermarket industry of modifications that could be done to it to improve performance and durability. The aftermarket for the Clod Buster is so extensive that it is possible to build one entirely of aftermarket parts with no factory Clod parts whatsoever. Many small businesses have popped up over the years to cater to just the Clod Buster owner.

Description: Mention a racetrack that operated in Brooklyn for more than 55 years, and people will think you're crazy, but they're clearly just not in the know. Buzz-a-Rama was a slot car racing venue that was opened in 1965 by Buzz and Dolores Perri that had multiple electrified racing tracks, vintage arcade games, and dusty glass displays selling slot-car racing parts. The hobby was extremely popular in the '60s, with dozens of similar raceways in the city, but Buzz-A-Rama was the last commercial slot-car track in operation in NYC. While other tracks had died out decades ago, Buzz kept his open, even though it made no money, saying that if he didn't own the building, it would have been long gone as well.
