Edmo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I had one of these when I was 5 or 6. My fave growing up. I treasured that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a go cart just like that with a centrifugal clutch and no brakes. I'd just jam my foot against the front tire to stop. Wore out the bottom of a bunch of pairs of shoes. I drove that thing everywhere around town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove that thing everywhere around town. Same here except mine had brakes, sort of. And we ended up jamming coins in the centrifugal clutch so it didn't slip. Cops back then didn't care and let me run around all over. It wasn't until a kid I went to school with stuffed his under a school bus tire trying to drive underneath the bus while it was between bus stops. Killed him and my parents ended up getting rid of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did 60 MPH and used to run it in the mall parking lots when there was no Sunday shopping here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I remember most about that Christmas was that there wasn't any snow on the ground and it rained on Christmas day BIG TRAK / bigtrak is a programmable electric vehicle created by Milton Bradley in 1979, resembling a futuristic Sci-Fi tank / utility vehicle, possibly for use on the Moon or a Planetoid style environment.[1] The original Big Trak was a six-wheeled (two-wheel drive) tank with a front-mounted blue "photon beam" headlamp, and a keypad on top. The toy could remember up to 16 commands, which it then executed in sequence. There also was an optional cargo trailer accessory, with the U.K. version being white to match its colour scheme; once hooked to the Bigtrak, this trailer could be programmed to dump its payload. 10 minutes ago, Cold War said: Awesome!
