If you had to choose only one rc to keep from all the RC you've had
 

Which one would you pick. It is taking so long to sell all of my rcs I am having second thought about selling them all. Thinking maybe keep at least one of them to screw around with. My choices are getting narrowed down. I only have 4 left to sale out of the 13 I had when I got the hair to sell. The G3R, the Savage XL, Losi XXL, and the XTM Rail. Out of those I think I will keep the Rail. It's fun, light, has a small foot print, and only 4s lipo setup, and is proving to be pretty stout. The G3R I couldn't take out and beat up. The other two are big and require larger lipos, the LST needs finished. So yeah I would keep the XTM Rail. Now if I was to choose an rc out of all the ones I have owned. That is going to have to take some thought. I really like the Rampage MT gasser, but the noise was something I always worried about even though no one ever complain. Plus, it was the size of a golden retriever. I was always tripping over one of the 5th scales.......... Hmm which one...

Hmm..though choice..Sold alot of rc's..most of them don't stay for to long..
The two favorites would have to be my mod sc class slash (Not a slash anymore..only the body mounts, screws, and tranny gears are stock :P)..and the buggy that got me into 8th scales, the ofna ultra lx1e. Although, I'd probably odly keep my slash, although it's not the fastest, it just never failed me :O

though I haven't had one yet, if i could only have one I'd like an 1/8th scale etruggy (will have to wait till I actually see one till I decide for sure though).
Of all the ones I've owned, Savage Flux for sure.

you gotta keep one of the MTs as well as the Rail.

Baja 5T

Why you ashamed to go bashing with a fellow that only owns a rail? lol


The Losi 8B conversion was my first taste of the 8th scale buggies. It is on the list of possibles.

Baja 5b.
 

Looking at it from a third party view it seems to me that you have had the most fun playing with your Baja 5b:intello:, and you love the 1/5th scale R/C's best, right?:whistle: I would keep that one.:lol: Plus with the GAS engine setup and recovery is also the easiest one to get ready in a hurry and play with when the girly allows it. All you have to keep on standby is the batteries for the radio and reciever and your good to go.:yipi:

no lol. It would just be more even since i have a MT and a buggy :yes:

You should definately sell the XXL...;-)

The cars that put the biggest smile on my face are the Stampede and Mini LST2 (although most people won't agree on that choice).

The rail would be good to keep for the reasons you stated but if it were me I would worry about using it as the first step to build a new collection with. I imagine you still have all the tools and accessories and affilliated gear so what's one more?:whistle:

If I did choose one it would be a truggy set up for bashing. It's a nice concoction of size, handling, fun, clearance.

My G2R any day of the week, though I'd probably get a regular E-Revo chassis to swap in when I bash with it...

Yeah the 5b sure got the gasser fever going. The rampage was better for me but again they just took up too much space and the noise bothered me that it bothered other people.

You got a MT? Finally stepped up from the chevy luv of rc the Flux and got an XL! lol. Alright settle down all you fluxers out the was only a joke. The flux is a pretty rc.


Another great idea. I think I should sell it to member here. You got any money Bart? I got some other rollers.

Ah, now there someone who knew where my mind was when I decided to sell everything. The addiction starting all over again is scary. Some of you fellows have had help keeping your addiction in check. Not me I've been free to play and spend spend spend for the last 5 years. It just got out of control and took over the place. Josh has been here looking for parts once or twice and I think he can tell you behind my back what a messed up dog I have. I think he found the parts he was needing also. Well, those days are over, I am in control of my disease now. Just one isn't going to hurt me, I can handle it.... Wait it's already starting I just bought a charger to replace the one I sold a week ago. What do I need a lipo charger for....

BP-Revo scores with another simple but brilliant idea. I never thought of that, heck it the chassis that diamond in the ruff. I could take the chassis off the G3R and run it. That's a great idea.

not anymore...

I do, specialy the Stampede.

Have to say that the 2wd pede is pretty fun. I am slowly getting mine to the unbreakable stage, and will eventually settle on a motor esc setup and leave it alone.

I would keep the xxl, best rc you have in the list... All of my savage stuff will be going up for sale this weekend. Just need to find a table big enough to spread it out on to take pics.

too late ;-)

My EMBX5-T far and away the best r/c i've owned and the most fun, easiest to work on IMO

Haven't owned as many RC's as most, but I would keep my Caster F8T truggy. It was my first experience with a 1/8 3-diff platform and the first time I drove it I couldn't stop smiling! Also, like magman said very easy to work on.

Factory Team Rc8be ... most fun on the track... sc8e was a close second

My Mugen MBX5T that had the custom conversion I made with dual battery packs. I miss that truck, I'll be making a 6T version sometime in the future.

As much as I hate Traxxas I always go back to the E-Maxx. I like the durability of my Flux and my RC8T but I like the way a E-Maxx looks and handles. However I will always have a RC18T, even if I was to get out of the hobby and sell everything I would keep that.

I can see the appeal that the Rail has. I have been using it a lot more lately than any of my other cars. I have even upgraded the front end with parts from XTM XT2e buggy, fitted CC 1515 motor, LED setup, got a stainless steel roll cage on the way for it too and a few other things. It really is a fun and easy car to work on.

Still I don't think I could let go of any of my other cars. I love the toughness of my RC8T FT and RC8Be. Also I don't think I could let go of my E-Revos anytime soon........ Actaully I don't have a clue why I posted here. I don't think I could let go of any of my cars, not to even mention cutting down to only one.:rofl:

Letting go of r/c toys?
 

I am sure that we can all relate to that feeling, but when life changing events happen one has to make choices that he would not normally be faced with. In the end its just stuff, right. We can not take it with us, and leaving to anyone in most families seem a bit of a stretch. Our kids would be fighting over my R/C collection and that is the last thing any of us wants. I already told the wife if anything happens to me and she has to make that decision to let go of any of my stuff to list all of my R/C toys in here for sale out of respect for all of guys I have become friends with. Yea even James and Harold make that list.

I understand Gee's position perfectly. He has had a life changing event and decided to cut back on R/C for the sake of those changes. Could happen to any of us.

I'd keep my 5b for sure. After you put some modest upgrades on it,it's amazingly tough. And the size of it is not only easy to work on but it also can run on rougher ground than any 1/8 scales I had. And the ease of running gas and maintaining it is just too easy even compared to BL. Now if someone will make an FG style steering setup to get rid of the slop and give me a tighter turnig radius it'll be perfect!

I ended up keeping my buggy and truggy, I tried to just stick with one, but if I had to let one go it would probably be my buggy.

I let most go as well. I ended up keeping my XT8 and Crt.5.

It would be a toss up between my XXL and a Truggy

Pretty much close to that point myself, have a self-imposed limit of 3 with things as they are. If I had to cut to one it'd be the SC8e no question. Best basher I have had, has the brute force of the Savage Flux but actually handles well also. If I had to cull one now, it'd most likely be the EDF Hoverjet but I doubt it'd fetch enough to make a sale worthwhile. It's fun, interesting concept but noisy as all hell and needs a big open space.

I would probably keep my SCX10. Not fast, but setup to run submerged and manages to get around on all types of terrain. It's a blast because there is some challenge to it being solid axle and all. The scale appearance helps too.

I'd keep my Brushless mini revo, its waterproof fast and doesn't break much :D

Jerry if my house was on the line or it was desperate time my RC cars would be one of the first things to go (all of them). I would even sell my underwear (if anyone was willing to buy it) if it meant keeping a roof over my head.

If I was only quitting the hobby there is no way I would sell my collection. Have spent way too much money on them and there is no way I would get a fraction of that back. Not to mention the time invested in modifying. Instead I would clean up my collection and stick it on the shelf or in a storage locker. I am sure one day I would pull them out for a bit of a play and remind my self of the days I was younger. I kick my self for giving away and selling my Jet Hopper and the Hornet from the younger days. I thought I would never care about RC again and 12 years later I was kicking my self for parting with them. It really wouldn't have killed me to have kept them on the shelf and today I would have two mint condition classics.:cry: I am not a hoarder but I like to keep things that have made a significant impact in my life. You can never have enough memories.

I try to keep a 2 car rule.. It might be 3 for a while, but then 1 gotta go hehe..

It`s not that i havent got the money for more, but it keeps the hobby room tidy, the wife happy(ish), the cost`s goes down (since i gotta sell one to buy one), and perhaps most important; i havent got time for more anyway ;)
When i get bored of one, i sell it and get the joy of buying a new. :lol:

The modded E-revo BL is on top of my list right now, but havent owned it more than 4 months yet. (just got back in the hobby after a couple years of changing diper`s and wrenching 1:1 turbo`d streetcars...).

Exactly my point
 

That was exactly my point Big Block. Gee is in the midst of a life changing event and has decided that R/C has to take a back seat because his house is just too full of R/C. He is re-prioratizing his life to suit the needs of his situation. He is not just getting out of the hobby. For a while R/C was his life. Something more important to him has over ridden his need for playing with R/C toys. Hence this sale.
