A Wraith, because all my other rigs are in parts or otherwise undriveable

I had a wraith for a while just to see what the hype was about. Meh.

My go too is El pinko my main sportsman rig. Dead nuts reliable and tough as nails.

depends on my mood and the area where i'm RVing (90% of my crawling or RC play in general is when i'm camping).

If its very rocky and tough terrain it will be one of my SCX10's, the CFX-W, TRX4 or my CR-01.

If its more of a trail run it will be my CC-01, MF-01X, MST-CMX or my other more scale crawlers.

As of late I've been in a buggy mood and I've been using my DT-03 and Kyosho scorpion Re-re a lot.

My GMade Sawback or Vaterra Ascender. Both crawl well, trail well, and they're extremely durable.

Only have one actual 10th scale crawler/trail truck at the moment so I would have to say TRX4. I do have a bizarre Vaterra based one in the works and a Losi mini and micro though...

Bomber is my main all round truck. I'm very much enjoying my TRX4 but if it's open terrain it's boring for crawlers and here my Rock Rey is a lot more fun.

Seeing some Blackfoots and Lunchboxes in these pics!!! Those are some fun trucks!!....very playful in manner and perfect for a campsite or goofing around.

My "go to" would have to be Wheely King....All around fun and capable truck that I never seem to get bored of. Solid axle for scale goodness and can crawl and bash.
Between my BlackFoot, Wheely King, Hyper 7 Nitro, HPI Blitz, Tamiya XV-01 Long Damper, TrailFinder, Horizon Hobby Super Cub S plane and E-Flite Radian XL SailPlane I think I'm set for life except that new MST MX-1 is sparking my interest along with the new Traxxas mustang.

yeah the blackfoot brings back some good memories for me too. wish I had more time/money to throw at vintage RC. I saw some neat tyco brushless conversions on youtube haha

anyway I only have 1 RC right now, my yeti.
my son is getting a barrage soon, and im working on a vaterra ascender. might dust off my old TT01 and do some drifting soon... but for now, yeti is the one and only that does almost everything I could ask. just RTR with upgrades to steering/suspension/gears.

some of these RC collections look like my action figure collections hahaha good stuff!!!

Vintage RC is very addicting. Now with MIP making a diff for Blackfoot its hard not to want one as that was the weakest point in kit.

Always wanted to throw a brushless setup in a Tyco Lambo. Slick looking car. Recently I snatched up Nikko Thunderbolt and upgraded the electronics and it's a blast with the solid rear axle and scale sand buggy looks. It's better built than the hornet and I think it looks better to boot.
