Show your cars
ok, so here is mine.
The monster is an himoto racing electric truck....since the photo was taken it had a one on one with my dog, and lost a tyre.
This is my baby, always clean. Its a Yokomo CGM....the best chassis ive ever driven in months. good balance and little to no flex.......
and the two together
will get pics of the chassis and post with these....but first im gonna need to clean the monster truck
tell me what you think....
Oh.....mind all the holes....its for accessories thats still in the making...front will be like a hood carrier rack( mini jack and tools), and rear will be for wheels....just for show

RE: Show your cars
don't look bad
I'll post my current ones in order of acquisition, and pics posted below
1st HPI MT2 1st hobby grade RC I owned. Started life as a MT1
2nd Savage X Beat it up and it still comes back for more
3rd Jammin .5 CRT with BL conversion, has a HW 8.5t 60 ESC combo in it. Really fast I had to gear it lower to keep it stable
4th Tamiya Plasma Edge (DF-02) BL powered (HW 10t motor with a 35A esc) Sucker goes fast as hell, very stable, and way more durable than I thought it would be.
5th Jammin X1 CR Great buggy, very durable I've yet to break a part.
6th Savage .21 Electronic converted. Waiting for new BL system old one was too potent for it
7th Traxxas Stampede Bought it to drive with my nephew seeing he owns one. Put Masher 2ks on it since the pic was taken
8th Jammin X1 CRT converted to BL. This suckers a beast with a 2200kv motor/esc combo(taken from savage .21), and oddly the bod isn't scratched after 10 flips and some cartwheels
9th Extreme Machines Monster XX (Bootlegged Tamiya DF-02) For $100 can't be beat. Its durability is equal to or better than the authentic Tamiya DF-02(has a better front shock tower, better piston rod in the shocks that won't bend easily, and a few other part). Only thing it suffers from is piss poor stock electronics (the stock servo wasn't bad). I threw a Blue Traxxas XL-5 ESC, HPI Saturn 27t motor, 2.4ghz RX, Traxxas 2075 servo,and a Traxxas waterproof radio box in it to make it into my winter beater for snow bashing
Scrapped RC's

RE: Show your cars
Losi JR-T, partially converted to XX-T, currently in need of electronics. Was my first hobby grade rc, bought it in 94.
Got back into the hobby this year, first nitro too. Losi Speed-NT.
After I got the Speed-NT, I couldn't stop. Here's the Ofna Mutilator Pro I bought used, less than two weeks after the Losi.
Then I won this, a Savage X 4.6
The Mutilator had a Force .32 in it, I scrapped that after about two months, dropped in a Losi 454. It came with a stock body, I scrapped that after a week. Since I got the Savage, I've been buying parts for it wherever I can find a deal. Just picked up a 25/X with no trans box or motor, with Bowties and a crapload of other parts, for $75 shipped, and a while back, I picked up a Plano parts bin so full, the seller had to put the extra stuff in another box. That came with a DX3.0, and the box of parts for $160, and there was at least $75 worth of parts in it.

Lars....
I had a MK6 Escort myself. was a 1.6 sport. Worst car ive had in my life. Kept on having to change ball joints on it, and it had to be imported from the UK as it wasnt locally manufactured.......

RE: Show your cars
It rooster tails like a champion with the meaty tires. I just replaced the rear shocks with the HD ones before i left for school. They stock ones broke after a jumping session. Heres a shot of it burning out on the pavement. The tires just spin, no traction at all...
