Kai City RC 145 Posted August 18, 2022 If you could only keep one RC. Everything else had to go. Everything! 😱 Gone for good. What would you choose and why? Just curious! Me? I thought about it. As I like to run my RC's, so it would have to be something I can get parts for. Something fun, something that I could run just about anywhere. Hmm. 🤔 I'd keep my Terra Scorcher. One of my first RC's as a kid. But what would you keep? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juls1 1661 Posted August 18, 2022 Either my xv01 or Traxxas udr, but I havnt built my xv02 yet… I don’t think i need to explain why really, but it’s down to how they drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadInventor 3884 Posted August 18, 2022 Easy. Home made skidder: I built it myself and it's very robust. From Tamiya, it would be my re-re hotshot. Just because I had an original one in the 80s which I regretted getting rid of, so promised myself I'd never move on the re-re. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18806 Posted August 18, 2022 If from Tamiya, M38..? .. but which one.. 2 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alvinlwh 5895 Posted August 18, 2022 For me, will actually not be a Tamiya but a 3Racing M4. If it must be a Tamiya, probably my Thunder Dragon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juhunio 6830 Posted August 18, 2022 My Bigwig re:re. It was the first one I bought when I got back into this hobby, bought for all the right / cosy / nostalgic reasons, is the most fun to drive and it looks amazing Sure, there are other buggies that are superior for all sorts of reasons, but the Bigwig is the one for me 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyastef 1968 Posted August 18, 2022 I would keep my original 1984 Grasshopper. ( my first, my last, my everything... 😃) I don't think I have to explain really but it's the only one I kept last time when I sold everything else. Only regret was for my mid turbo but that's solved now with the re-re and for as long as this question remains hypothetical 😁 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pylon80 2631 Posted August 18, 2022 Definitely a rally car as you can have fun both off-road and (decently enough) on-road. Plus you can put on drift tires for some good old fashioned AWD drifting action if you feel like it! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4204 Posted August 18, 2022 It doesn't matter which I picked, my son would have the final decision. Which means we'd keep a Dual Hunter or the monsterized CR-01. But he dislikes change and letting toys go so it ain't happening 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikko85 3454 Posted August 18, 2022 Modified GF01 to take a truck body to make a monster truck. It's pretty much the perfect truck for me. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Gecko 1344 Posted August 18, 2022 We have a long history, doubt I could ever get rid of this one no matter what else happens. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YelloMello 99 Posted August 18, 2022 I guess my ReRe Grasshopper or my Novafox, I'm undecided. Both cars are only ReRe's but they are wonderful memories of my childhood. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grotty Otty 868 Posted August 18, 2022 My Avante. Its so Tamiya, was so out of reach as a kid and I managed to get it spot on as a build! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) That would be like choosing your favourite child. I’ve only got 2 of the so it would be 50:50 but with 25+ models no chance!!! EDIT: probably my Losi Baja Raptor. It’s just so awesome 😎 Edited August 18, 2022 by Busdriver 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moffman 5752 Posted August 18, 2022 Oh this is an interesting thread for me is it tamiya or kyosho????? Unfortunately for me none it has to be my schumacher cat xls it was a nightmare to build I ended up in A&E for stitches in my hand because of it but I built it when I was looking after my mum at the end of her life I used to take it to her care home and when she was conscious I could see her watching me build it when I had down time from her care! so it has 100% sentimental value which no amount of money can replace it!! (I must say though I didn't spray it in the care home that wouldn't have gone down very well with the residents) 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeeWings 2830 Posted August 18, 2022 What a lovely back story @moffman For me it would be the Boomerang I had as a kid. Except my folks chucked it out and a replacement wouldn't be the same. So, I would go for the first car I actually purchased and built myself when I returned to the hobby last year. The Egress in Cat's clothing Let's just hope I don't need spares... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saito2 6686 Posted August 18, 2022 This topic comes up every once in awhile over the years. For me the Egress was the ultimate Tamiya unicorn that I had no hope in owning as a kid. The Wild Willy was a discontinued model that I hunted relentlessly but didn't achieve until the advent of ebay. Normally of my collection, the answer would be my Lunch Box as it was my very first Tamiya RC kit. Here it is, freshly built, BITD: and here it is today, still holding together: Devoid of all the emotional attachment, one of my favorites today would be the one that got me hooked, the Monster Beetle: I don't what it was, but the sight of that showing up at a LHS back in '86 hooked me very hard, from its unique looks to the way the name rolled off my tongue. It altered my life. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Egress in Cat's clothing Let's just hope I don't need spares... I've seen and totally admired that egress! In photos on the internet so now I know who it belongs to what a seriously stunning looking buggy! Same here with my xls if I had to be replaced the replacement wouldn't have any sentimental value it's that actual buggy and nothing else! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t even get close to achieving the ~$280 I needed for the combo kit that included a futaba magnum , one battery, and trickle charger. My Dad and Grandfather chipped in the rest. Great times! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuggyGuy 1106 Posted August 18, 2022 What a difficult question! I'd have to pick an off-road car as there's way more places to run them. Head would say Xray XB4 2020 Heart would say TRF201XR If the world was entirely surfaced with smooth clean carpet then: Head would say M07R Heart would say TA05v2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
