The story · 1987

The story of Grudge Buggy RC

The Grudge Buggy roared across the driveway for exactly eleven minutes before the battery pack needed an overnight charge. Kids built ramps out of plywood and phone books and launched it into the flower beds. The long silver antenna on the controller got bent into a zigzag within the first week.

Fun fact

Running it through a puddle made it go twice as fast for about four seconds, then never again.
