Talk:Remco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi All, I hope you can help me out. Does anybody remember an amphibious Radio controlled truck thing that was advertised on the TV in the UK in around 1983 ish? I have done searches on eBay for about a year with no luck. I can almost remember its name, something like Meauder, Feauder or Marauder. the advert had this thing driving over land then splashing into a pond I think then after swimming to the other side it scrambled out and continued to drive over land with water all dripping off it. I WANT ONE! I saw one in a shop back then but my father wouldn't let me have it. Does any body remember? even if you could help me with the name of make would be good. A colector i spoke to thinks it was made by REMCO. At the same time on the TV was Roughriders 4x4 and Boomering thing thanks for reading this, fingers crossed
The collector thinks is was made by Azrak-Hamway or Remco under the Power Command line of radio controlled cars. He said after much searching, it is also the only company that created an Amphibious RC car from that era. It appears to be extremely rare
He said It was available in 1980 and 1981, It had a 6 function radio control, It was marketed and sold under the Power Command line by Azrak-Hamway, It was model number: 4033, It was called: Amphibious Sportsman II in the USA and must have been renamed for the UK market
Any information would be great, a picture or anybody that remembers it would be fantastic!
