Which of your R/C's is your favorite?
I think it'd be cool if everyone listed their r/c's they have and which is their favorite and why. If you sold an r/c and wish you had it back you can list it as a favorite too. Doesent matter if its on road, off road, 2wd, 4wd, nitro or electric, lets hear it. Also, tell us if you hate one of yours and why.
I currently have 2:
Nitro Rustler with a pro.15
Original T-Maxx with a 2.5r
Honestly, I like them both a lot[8D] I havent gotten a lot of run time on either yet, as i have only just recently acquired/got them running again, so im still on my first gallon of nitro for the first time in 3 years or so.
The rustler has plenty of power even with the pro .15(O.S. carb), is smooth as butter to drive on the road, and doesent flip easily. Its light and nimble, Its tough, and parts are cheap and easy to get. Steers good too. Goes probably 30-35mph. Couldnt be a more simple truck to drive and operate
The T-Maxx is a brute. [8D] It goes over or through about anything, and has a lot of power. Its not as easy to clean, and not nearly as simple, being a 2 speed with 4wd, and a bigger heavier truck. Love the sound of the 2 speed shifting, and its geared just right. Good grunt out of the hole, and 40mph top speeds Parts are a little more expensive, and if you break something it costs more, and is harder to fix, but it sure is a fun truck, and i dont think id want to get rid of it.
So overall i like them both equally in their own respects. Lets hear about yours[8D]

Only got:
HPI Nitro RS4 3 Evo
Traxxas Electric 4tec
By far I prefer the RS4 - no comparison really. I'm going to get a nice electric soon though so we will see if that changes my mind.

TT-01 (x2)
M04L
TB-02
TA-05R
Slash
Desert Truck
RC18MT
Recoil

Right now my favorite is the slash because it's set up with paddle tires on the rear for the snow. My overall favorite is the Durga though.

RE: Which of your R/C's is your favorite?
Currently I've got a Savage XSS, LST2, Asso RC8T and RC8, and a Hyper Mini ST.. Hard to pick a favorite really. I like them all(on the fence about the Mini Hyper actually, but bleh....) I suppose it'd be the LST2 though. The RC8T is totally awesome to drive on a track, but it's been expensive.. Does the "totally awesome" match the price? Not so sure.. The Savage is good - burly poor-handling but really fast fun-to-drive wheely monster MT... It has it s role. But I think for me the LST2 would win the title of "favorite". And the reason being is simply that it has been the lowest maintenance, and caused the fewest headaches. And the sweaty-palm wow factor suprisingly keeps coming back every time I drive it..(This happened with the Savage yesterday though. Man that Sportwerks 26 is fast...) Everybody likes and dislikes different things about the hobby. I'm not big on wrenching personally. They're all good in their own ways. But I guess the LST2 wins for me cuz it's broken the least and had the least wear and tear and caused the fewest headaches...

I have a tub chassis RC10 GT FT kit, a flat chassis RC10 GT and a new RC10 GT2 FT kit, along with a mini-t and a RC8 that I race. I love all of em, but my favorite is the buggy, only because the stadium truck class died out locally.....if the class were still going, it'd definatly be the GT2...

RE: Which of your R/C's is your favorite?
I have:
Tamiya Falcon
Tamiya Thunder Shot
Tamiya Striker
Tamiya TA-02
Tamiya Clodbuster
Traxxas Stampede
Traxxas Nitro Rustler
XTM X-Cellerator Electric Conversion
So far I would have to say the clodbuster is my favorite (even though I havent run it, it's still fun working on it)
I used to have a Tamiya Blackfoot that I traded and I still regret that all the time. Hopefully I will get another one soon :-) It looks like I will finally be getting another blackfoot tomorrow (trading the traxxas rustler for it).

RE: Which of your R/C's is your favorite?
My list:
Mini T Pro with Brushless setup
Mini LST, almost completely stock
Duratrax Evader ST, aluminum wheel hub all around, aftermarket radio gear(JR Receiver and need a new steering servo), and a Tazer 15T ESC
2.5 Revo with OS18TM, JR Receiver, Futaba S3004 steering servos, Futaba FP-S14B throttle/brake servo(only one left on hand at the time), FOC, Traxxas Maxx tires(for the snow)
My favorite, the Revo, no matter what I seem to throw at it, she keeps on coming back for more. Giving me some troubles right now, but for a 4 year old truck, she's been extremely reliable.

RE: Which of your R/C's is your favorite?
I have to say the RC that I absolutely go out with the most is with the Fg 4wd comp MT 5th scale gasser (Or is it really 6th scale? It looks kind of small for 5th).
This truck is belt driven, and I know that sounds absolutely stupid for an off-roader, but FG was very smart in fully enclosing the belt and belt driven diffs. NONE of the belt is exposed to air at all, so it is impossible for rocks and stuff to get at it and tear up that part of the drivetrain.
