RE: What's the BEST hobby grade RC you've ever owned?
tough to say. i've owned a few different chassis and none of them were truly bad but the one i had the most fun with would have to be the tamiya df02. i've owned 2 of them, the gravel hound (the first one, destroyed it) and the plasma edge. the kits are virtually identical with the exception of the body. they will take a beating and come back for more. you can throw massive tires on it and take it anywhere or use the stock tires for some fun on gravel. it was my first actual kit and i had fun with it in brushed form, and they are insane with bl/lipo. i really should get a new motor/esc for the plasma...
