My RC collection
 
Here's my collection since getting back on the hobby 3 years ago. It's also my money pit but the biggest money pit is my model who is doing an inspection of the trucks :rofl::lol:.

From top to bottom: Revo 3.3 with Modified OS .18TZ, Brushless Gmaxx, Brushless Kyosho ST-RR, Brushless Revo 3.3, Supermaxx with .26 BB, UE Predator with VBS(build in progress), JT racing truggy. On the side is the GS SUT Shaun sent to be given to one of the sailors here. Of course, my 22-month old daughter :intello::party:.

I'm still waiting for the 70mm Medusa motor which will go into the Revo. I'll be ordering the 2200Kv combo from Castle and use the motor on the Gmaxx with Luciano's ESC.

_paralyzed_ 12.17.2008 10:25 AM

you've got some rare maxx parts there. Nice collection.

bruce750i 12.17.2008 10:32 AM

She's a little cutie. Wow nice collection.

George16 12.17.2008 10:44 AM

Thanks guys.

Paralyzed, I'm actually selling some of my UE parts. In fact, I just sold a set of like new(new but installed on show truck) towered VBS last month. I will be selling a set of like new(new but the package has been opened) 8mm steel cvds, 2 sets of 6mm Titanium cvds, GA 7075 bulks, 6 spider gears etc.

BL_RV0 12.17.2008 11:10 AM

Nice! How do you like that ST-RR over all of those traxxas trucks?

mkrusedc 12.17.2008 11:45 AM

Nice! First time I have seen them all. You have a great collection there Lito.

The little "inspector truck" is my favorite.:yes:

DickyT 12.17.2008 11:47 AM

Very nice collection and your daughter is adorable :) My eyes hurt from all the shiny shiny..

George16 12.17.2008 12:29 PM

BL_RVO, I haven't run the ST-RR yet due to the non-stop rain. I hope to be able to run it once the weather clears. I'll post a vid once I get a chance to run it.

Mark and DickyT, thanks a lot. She's very interested with the trucks instead of her dolls. She's always next to me whenever I'm wrenching. She already learned how to use a hex driver. What can I say :wink::wink::whistle:.

Takedown 12.17.2008 12:33 PM

Someone likes the maxx design.:lol: Very nice colection you got their though. Love all the bling.

RCShocker 12.17.2008 02:24 PM

Very nice collection Lito.....that's for sure. :intello: But how come we see so much nitro? :whistle:

So neat to see the little cutie so fascinated by all the bling. Cant blame her there. Looks like she doesnt even know you are snapping photo's she's so into them.

My little boy like's to help too. He was grabbing hexdrivers & tools just the other day. He looks up at me and ask........"Dad, you know what the biggest tool is?"......."What is the biggest tool son?" I reply....."You are Dad" :gasp:

My son just called me "the biggest tool". I still had to say thanks though. :lol:

TDC57 12.17.2008 05:37 PM

:yes: I like your chief mechanic, she’s double checking things over to make sure DAD didn’t screw anything up!..:rofl::rofl: WAY cool.. :intello:

Lito.. :whistle:
You’ve got some outstanding builds Sir..:gasp: Not alone the 401K investment sitting there!:wink:

Great shoots thanks for sharing.. just beautiful trucks.. :angel:

P.S.
Be sure to enter them in the best build for 08 thread!...:rules::yes:

Lol, that's funny. My 8 year old just wants to do the driving but not the wrenching. He does however clean his truck too.

I just switched to brushless when the MMM became available.

She does like the bling more than the rest. She's always the first one to sit by me everytime I work on one of the trucks.

Thanks Shaun. She didn't even know I was taking pics. Some are a little bit blurry because I just wanted to capture the moment before I lose them :lol:.

magman 12.17.2008 09:13 PM

Lito, sweet collection. Your daughter is so cute! She looks like an inspector general in the second pic!

tedo 12.17.2008 09:48 PM

Sweet Lito!
I remember your supermaxxes from the (cough-cough) traxxas forums. I was always envious haha! You could put Billytrucks out of busines with all your UE parts.

BTW, what's the JT truggy all about? It looks like a truggified maxx? Also, let us know how that Kyosho runs! Can't wait to read a review and see vids.

Thanks man. You're right about the JT truggy. It uses maxx suspension and steering. In fact, both front and rear suspension systems can be transferred between a stock tmaxx, supermaxx, and JT.

The tires are still in my parts box :intello:. I just took them out for a pic since I was cleaning the house after returning from a 3-week vacation overseas.

By the way, I'm not a rich person. I'm just a regular guy who saved some money after quitting booze, cigarettes, and partying 10 years ago :yes::yes::yes::lol:.

jordan... 12.18.2008 02:20 AM

Nice collection there Lito, you must have nearly all the variations of the SM trucks. Any plans for a Lightning :whistle: Oh, and those sweetstrobe braces sure are pretty.

George16 12.18.2008 03:53 AM

Thanks Jordan. I thought about the lightning at one point but decided against. I will buy one in the future if the price is more reasonable. I do need to buy one of Matt's(HCR21) chassis.

How's your truck? I have not seen any updates yet.

hoovhartid 12.18.2008 04:40 AM

You have a cute little girl.
She reminds me of the little one from monsters inc. boo.

Thanks Hoov. She sure does :surprised::surprised:.

BL_RV0 12.18.2008 09:57 AM

Whoa, I just noticed that!

Gee 12.18.2008 10:42 AM

She does! With her hair like that. Boo! She's a darling. Looks like she could go for a ride on a couple of them. Nice collection, glad you found a reasons to show us some pictures of the real money pit. No wonder you don't have any nice rcs. :lol: Thanks for posting them.

tuclai 12.18.2008 04:33 PM
