What's the status of your RC collection PJ? You pack it all away or post it on Ebay?

We took the ATX to the local track yesterday. It is pretty much stock. The only upgrades to date are the .18 conversion and a set of Proline Dirt Hawgs. Tires are a little large, but they hooked up pretty good and it still has descent power. The only problem was we kept breaking the diff cups. I never modded the ATX diff cups because they never gave me a problem like the MT2 did. But the little jumps and rough surface at the track made quick work of them. We went through 3 diff cups in the 1st 2 tanks. Then he hit the tubes and cartwheeled. The motor just reved like the spur was shot, but upon examining it, we broke a front and rear diff cup, both on the same side. Sooo, it will be sporting a full set of modded diff cups the next time we take it with us. The Revo did really good. Last Sunday we blew a rear diff on it at the track, but today it held up good. I have a set of Losi Zombie Maxx tires on it and they hook up really good. Very soft, sticky tires. And the OS .18TM really hauls on the straights. There was one guy there with a new Revo 3.3 and it stood toe to toe with him on the straight. Another guy there with a MGT 4.6 wanted to know how big a motor we had in it and couldn't believe it was a .18. Last but not least, the Savage blew another shock cap off. I didn't even know it until we were leaving. It's fun but not nearly nimble enough for the track. And the stiff suspension had me sliding all over the place. But it's still my baby.
