Default Wish Lists (aka "If I won the Lottery")

Please post your R/C-related dream purchases, vehicles, projects, etc...

I'll start:

CCHand products (carried by RPP Hobbies, RC4WD & AsiaTees & AMain and many more)

Toyota HiLux and LC70 builds, I'd like to build 1 each - their stuff is so detailed and hardcore, but EXPENSIVE!

Tormach CNC, 4'x4' cnc router, CNC lathe and a couple pallets of 7075 and 4130 stock. I'll handle the rest.

I'd get a piece of land in the country with plenty of room to run RCs and other toys. I love my house, but I am sitting on a 1/4 acre city lot.

That would, I agree, be far better than any R/C vehicle being added to my collection. A place to run them right outside my door!

(I'm in a 3rd-floor apartment...)

I dont know about RC cars, my prime objective would to move to another country, most likely just as idiotic as my native country, but as a new comer there i would be much more relaxed as i would be a newbie with not much to say and so just had to roll with the punches.
I really would like to get into crawlers too, something you cant do here as Denmark aside for our island Bornholm south of Sweden are flat and made of dirt or sand so no challenges for a crawler.
And then i hope i will be able to do a lot of RC philanthropy, getting kids ASO into some proper hobbies.

O and some place with better / warmer weather the year around, and preferably english speaking as i am too old to learn yet another language.

If I hit the lotto, especially big, pay off what ever bills I, my Parents, Little Sister have, probably even pay off her BF's car payment, then get out folks a vew van, maybe find AWD/4WD winter beaters for the Kid Sister and myself so she doesn't have to driver her Challenger in the snow and so I can restify my XJ and not drive the 200 in the snow, maybe restify the partents current van (there's got to be SOMETHING interesting that can be done to an '06 Town and Country), then start doing weird projects cars like a KL Cherokee 3.2l Pentastar and newer 200 9 speed and AWD in a Dart, 3.6l Pentastar and 4cyl KL Trailhawk drivetrain in a V-6 KL Trailhawk (more power and shorter gearing ;) than stock, MPG be damned), Journey R/T AWD drivetrain under under maybe a couple Avengers and another early 200 (1 off road Avenger, and experiment with forced induction on a couple high powered road cars on the other Avenger and 200), then some oddball van (both mini anf fhll sized), XJ, and K-Car builds. I'd also either buy a shop or build one to use and buy/build a single story house that would be easier for Mom to get around than the current house.

I'm not interested in bidding on Axial, if that is what you are getting at...

^^^ How's about a McAllister body, instead of Parma?

Page Title



They have a WB of around 13". I might cut one up and mount it on a Bomber build someday... Fun!

i really like the new traxxas UDR.
barring that, I've been curious about getting a scale trophy truck cage for my yeti and going all out. winning the lotto would probably solidify both of those lol
piggybacking off the TT thing, would love to build a go-fast RWD baja truck with a retro body, like an old 70's chevy square (hard)body with some modern flare. (bulged fenders? LED lightbars, modern wheels, etc.) kyosho NEARLY had a killer on their hands but that damn MOA...
I've also recently considered at least a couple scale monster truck builds.
ohhhh and cant forget gas powered 1:5 scale! (traxxas UDR almost covers this category though)

and that drag car would be sweet... with a solid rear axle! (i have a drift car planned with solid rear... no lotto required if plans go right!)

i think Ninomaniac is on the right track though ;) as well as some room to run them! (on road, off road, all indoors in a lighted HVAC warehouse sized facility next to my shop for rc AND 1:1)

Lol. Start a thread about the valuation of rccrawler.com. That'll piss the right folks off. I would totally put in a bid w/ WT.

Edit: on second thought you don't need lottery type $

I would probably open up a rc crawler shop with endless terrain outside and a comp spot inside. I would need to buy a lot of concrete and probably hire a masonary that does custom rock formation stuff with crete. then I would have a loamy track for me to enjoy with the bigger stuff.

non rc.. well.. id buy a formula ford and make it off road capable.

RC wise my idea is probably something like an 18" wheelbase Traxxas Summit (custom chassis) with just with about every "bulletproof" part possible and a nice welded cage. Then just buy like a tenth of a square mile and turn it into "The Bash-o-plex".
