Many of you have more than 1 r/c, so if it came down to it which one would you keep?

Me, my Evil Influence truck. It's not my fastest, doesn't have the best body on it, doesn't even have all my best parts on it but there is something about a "mutt", (a truck made from multiple sources/brands), that seems to run so well, and brings a smile to my face each time I look at it or take it out.

So what is yours, show us a picture.

Ugh... everything can be redone or replaced but I have a lot of time and money invested in my P2 semi so I guess that would be it...

Actually if I had to choose just one to buy, it would be a Summit - it isn't the best at anything, but it can do EVERYTHING fairly well.

Wow, really tough one. I currently own 2 but my big rig woulda been my choice if I still had it. Since I sold it :bang I'll decide between my erevo and axial scx10 jeep. I'd have to go with my scx10 only because I have so much time into it, wrenching, modding, etc...I'm a huge scaler/crawler fan now despite my jeep not looking so scale anymore, lol. My erevo is basically stock (CCBL) with new body, different tires. Its lots of fun and I don't see myself selling it but if I had to pick I'd choose the scx10. I was really shocked how well it performs out of the box as well as its scale appeal. I never used to like crawling at a snails pace but now that I've tried it, I'm hooked. Thinking about getting another and keeping it a 1.9 scaler...trying to decide on another scx10 or highlift. Anyway, I get long winded sometimes :eyesbg Here's my pick:

im going to go with my speed demon stampede. so far its gotten me to newer levels of r/c, its going to be my first Lipo owned car(where i dont have to borrow a battery to drive it)
its going to have quite a bit of aluminum/custom parts and hopefully(cross my fingers/toes/arms/legs) it will break 100mph.

or

the wheely pounder i built for sept 11th anniversary. it will go to a good home but im gald to just have the opportunity to work on that truck and make it special to whoever will win it. it was sure special to see it come together for me.

If I could only keep one it would be my Midnight Pumpkin. I bought it when my wife was in the final stages of pregnancy with our son and she really couldn't do anything. So I bought that, we built it together, she picked out the paint, sprayed it, ran it once, and he was born the next day. I don't think I would ever get rid of that truck just for sentimental reasons.

If I had to choose one out of all I've owned I would have to say the Kyosho Mad Force was the most fun.

Just one? It hurts thinking about it....... If I pick just one, I fear it'll upset the others so I plead the 5th:willy I can tell they are all in an uproar out in my room because each one thinks it's the one I'd keep. I shouldn't have read this topic.......:laugh

It would have been OK to read it Mike, just not aloud so they can hear:bang

I would have to say my World Engines Rock Buster:tmb It was my very first that I bought and put together myself. Still have it today complete with printed circuit board mechanical speed control and 380 motor. I should have used that in my speed run 'Pede :laugh

It would have to be my old school 2wd Tamiya Pajero. It's not a monster truck but it is a wheelie machine and my 1st real r/c. I had a buddy that wound motors and on the first run with the new motor I flipped the Pajero on its lid. The wheelie bar did not help. lol too much power.

no pic, but i'd say my 4x4 stampede...i hate to say it, but even more than my beloved clod(s)...

fast, fun, (relatively) cheap, and durable...also, not as big as the erevo, so it's easier to take along, and bigger than the mini erevo- so it can go over more obstacles...
