Jeepers Keepers?

[Topher Builds]

After watching a 1.9 wraith bounce from owner to owner to owner out here in Vegas it got me curious about how many rigs people generally hold onto and how many people tend to flip through them like radio stations.

After thinking back about my RC history I realized I may be a bit of the latter. For the heck of it I wanted to make a list, from what I can remember, roughly oldest to newest. Here we go...

Rustler - this is the one that started it all. Still have it but it’s just a chassis for parts now.
Yeti - broke then broke again then traded for next in the list plus cash...
Slash 4x4 - got this used and sold it a year later
4tec 2.0 - sold
SCX10ii Cherokee - sold
Traxxas Fiesta ST Rally - still have.
TRX4 Bronco - recently sold, kind of miss this one
TRX4 Bronco number 2 - sold
VS4-10 Origin - sold
SCX10ii Cherokee kit - still have. Rad Van/tiny tire JK
RC4WD Marlin - sold
Axial Bomber - sold
TRX4 Sport Kit - still have! Kinda, this is now the TRX10.2
Axial 1.9 Wraith - sold
Toyzuki v2.5 - sold
Element Enduro Sendero - still have. Ifs Baja bug now
SSD Trail King - parted out/turned into GC4.2
Axial Capra - recently sold
VS410 pieced together build - still have
SCX10.3 - sold (kept body, on vs410)
SCX24 - still have
TGH/G-Speed V3 - still have
Gamechanger 4.2 - still have
TRX6 - still have
TGH/HH Sherpa Expert - build in progress
DR10 - still have

So 26 rigs that I can remember, 15 sold to fund other projects. I’ve kept 11 of them which is right about 42%. What about you??

Now this is this first time I've tallied up all of my RC's . I tried to list them in the order I got them in but I lost track after the first half dozen lol.

[mass-hole]

I dont spend to much on my RC’s. I still(or my parents still) have all of my trucks even from when I was a kid.

Right now I have my TRX4 Sport kit, a Rock rey I bought second hand, and I bought an SSD Trail King but have yet to even crack open the box it shipped in.

Ive though about selling the Rock Rey mostly because it likes to break and I just dont find myself using it much.

EDIT: 17 more added. Alphabetized for my own sanity

[Topher Builds]

These have been cool to read and see how different the hobby has been for all of us. The one constant seems to be a lot of Tamiya and axial.

We definitely like our toys

[durok]

Bought new, first go-round with R/C:

Traxxas Rustler
AE RC10GT
Traxxas T-Maxx
AE RC10T2 (x2) (bought used)
Losi XXX-T
Traxxas E-Maxx
Traxxas Stampede
Losi Mini Slider
Traxxas Slash

Tamiya M-02 (bought used)
Tamiya M-03
Tamiya TA03F
Tamiya TB-01
Tamiya TG-10

All the above were lost in an apartment complex fire almost exactly 11 years ago...

Current collection - bought new, 2nd go-round in R/C:

Axial Bomber (and enough spare parts to build a 2nd, about 66% assembled)
Vaterra Ascender K10
Traxxas TRX-4 Defender
AE DB8 Nomad Desert Buggy
Element Enduro
Tamiya M-08 (bought new, but assembled)

Yes indeed. Entire basement of my house is dedicated to RC. Just as fascinated with them as I was when I was 15
