The 1980's R/C Racer Uniforms of the Golden Era of Radio-Control
About this episode
This episode explores the racing uniforms worn in the 1980s, particularly in the context of the Punky Brewster episode featuring R/C racing.
In the iconic 1980's Punky Brewster episode, "Girls Will be Boys", the backyard R/C racer boys, as well as Punky Brewster herself, wore racecar driver racing jumpsuits when racing their vintage Tamiya 1:10th scale radio-controlled model vehicles on their backyard bashing racetrack. Was this normal for children and adults too do when racing their radio controlled model vehicles or did they wear any other type of uniform? We look back in time to the golden era of R/C and give you those answers in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast.
