I stopped counting when I hit 80. I figure I'm closing in on the century mark (if I haven't passed it already).

Its not too bad, sometimes one car might stay broken for a month though depending on what condition the others are in, and how much its going to cost to fix it. My T-maxx has been broke for a few weeks (front diff stripped out cause somehow it lost a bearing???) and havent got to order the parts to fix it till just last night.

Im going to be narrowing down my collection though.

Im going build and sell one bolink (probobly get 30 bucks for it at the most []), sell both mini's, and Ive been thinking about selling my nitro evader.

Whenever the stresstech waranty is up on the electric evader ST (still has like 6 months) im going to get rid of it and just use my T3.

As long as my friend keeps running me over with his HPI or Savage, this list will keep growing.

Id go for the revo.

I have a T-maxx, 3 buddies of mine have revos, and two or three have savages (I think the one guy might have sold his), the Revo's are the coolest of the three.

i assumed you had more than one of the same type of car. i doubt i could even think of more than 10 types of car anyway.
