Default Crawlers are king, but....

what other RC's do you own and use fairly regularly?

My crawlers are listed in my sig. Besides that, I have:

- Traxxas Stampede 4x4
- Associated TC5
- Twisted Industries RC-18T clone

I also have an OFNA 1/8 electric buggy that someday will recieve some attention. It just hasn't been a priority, especially since I was going to use it as a basher, and the Stampede 4x4 fills that bill nicely.

Oh, and I have an original 80's Associated RC-10L pan car rolling chassis. Might be cool to put some inexpensive electronics into it just to get it in running order. It would be far from competitive, and I don't race anyway.

So, whatcha got?

In order of purchase:
Traxxas Rustler (girlfriends-disassembled for crawler parts)
Losi Mini-LST (bought used)
Traxxas E-Revo (sold for mini revo's)
Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo x2 (girlfriend had to have on too)
Losi Micro HIGHRoller (custom TheToyz.com wide track)
E-Flite Micro heli
Duratrax Cliff Climber
Losi Micro Crawler
HPI CrawlerKing (friend rig)
G-made R1 (sportsman rig)
Venom Creeper (girlfriends sportsman rig)
Berg Tracer (Pro W.I.P.)
Losi Pro Roller

Seems like a lot but thats over the course of 3 years... My girlfriend works at the LHS and one day she came home with the Rustler... said she always wanted an R/C. Few months later she bought me the mini LST used for $40. Then I got a good deal on a Revo, but it was to big for my taste... waited till the mini revo got released and sold the revo. Tower Hobbies had a sale on the Cliffclimber and the "Crawler Obsession" started...

Losi Night Crawler

I have a 1.9 scx10, a 2.2 axial comp rig and when im not messing with them, im beating on my brushless blitz. Not really sure if i need another r/c, i would rather have a few really nice ones that run at anytime, then a whole bunch of dust collecting non-functioning ones, but i would LOVE to own the new hpi baja sc if i could afford to maintain/upgrade one

Associated TC4- another for my need for speed
1989 HPI RS4 nitro- that has been rode hard and seen better days

TC3 w/ rally kit (widens to 200)
CTS-V body, Mercedes Body, RC10T body with BFG tires




RC10T, had it since new ~1992

And a gold pan RC10 from ~1990
[IIMG]http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/album73/rc7.sized.jpg[/IMG]

Also,
Brushless T4

Some cheap hydroplane boat. ~2ft long. Fun, but needs perfect water, and I need to upgrade electronics... it's slow. Threw a faster motor in and it was great.... till the endbell melted loose.

I have a Losi High Roller (1:10) that I mess around with when crawling gets a little too slow, I also want to purchase a Tamiya TT-01E Suzuki SX4 Rally (which would be my first kit as well).
