How do you people get your rc cars SO clean? I used compressed air, warm water, and a scrub brush for 5 hours on my slash, and it's still very dirty.

Losi 5ive, my favorite all time rc car, Im finding it hard to afford all the parts I want/need
Losi 8ight 2.0, Just a Roller ATM, waiting on a tekno conversion chassis
Losi Micro SCT, Great awsome littlecar, loads of fun inside. fully loaded with brushless combo, exotec chassis and Losi upgrades
Traxxas Slash, this is my most reliable car that ive ever owned, and is bashed the most, not much of it is traxxas thesedays
Traxxas VXL Ken Block, My wifes car, still yet to get a oppinion on it, fully stock
Traxxas Revo Platnium, its been great to me over the years, but now is been parted out
Tamiya Baja King, my first brushless car. hard to drive and way overpowered, stupid amount of upgrades
Tamiya TA01, its just a roller ATM and needs a few little bits to complete,minor upgrades
HBX Bonzer, its been converted to a crawler, very custom and upgraded
Axial SCX10 Honcho 2, 2 most used car. great fun, even the kids love it, very minor scale upgrades
Hobao Hyper 10, just a roller ATM, still doing the finishing touches for a 1/10 speed run car, stock but modified
Great Vigor V2000, my First nitro car, Juat a roller ATM, planing a electric conversion for scale speeds, few upgrades
HPI E10, First Drift car, Ive spent so much on it that its not worth selling.
Ill be happy when i can add a 1/5 brushless to my collection, I like the idea of a 1/5 scale basher with reverse

I see a lot of you guys have 1/18 (or the like) and 1/5th. Two scales I've always considered but never owned or even seen run in person for that matter. while I know this is a highly subjective and ambiguous question what is the fun quotient of 1/18 or 1/5th compared to 1/8th?

RE: How Happy Are You With Your RC Collection?
Once I went 1/5 scale I never really went back, its a totally different experience. The vehicles handle realistically because they're much heavier, the gas engines are easy to work with and fun to use. A powerful 1/5 car is capable of really ripping up some terrain, and it's quite impressive to experience.

RE: How Happy Are You With Your RC Collection?
I have a problem with never being satisfied as well. I'm the same way, I'll excitedly buy something new and within days I'm looking for the next fix. Unfortunately It's a problem I've struggled with in other aspects of my life as well. I'm a pretty compulsive shopper when it comes to clothes, electronics, shoes - even bigger stuff like boats and cars.
You know you have a shopping problem when all your female friends are astonished [&:]

I'm never satisfied with my collection. 100+ cars, a dozen planes, 4 helis, and 9 large scale gas boats. Seems like I get an itch to buy something new every week.
