If you had to choose only one rc to keep from all the RC you've had

too late ;-)

My EMBX5-T far and away the best r/c i've owned and the most fun, easiest to work on IMO

Haven't owned as many RC's as most, but I would keep my Caster F8T truggy. It was my first experience with a 1/8 3-diff platform and the first time I drove it I couldn't stop smiling! Also, like magman said very easy to work on.

Factory Team Rc8be ... most fun on the track... sc8e was a close second

My Mugen MBX5T that had the custom conversion I made with dual battery packs. I miss that truck, I'll be making a 6T version sometime in the future.

[E-Revonut]

As much as I hate Traxxas I always go back to the E-Maxx. I like the durability of my Flux and my RC8T but I like the way a E-Maxx looks and handles. However I will always have a RC18T, even if I was to get out of the hobby and sell everything I would keep that.

I can see the appeal that the Rail has. I have been using it a lot more lately than any of my other cars. I have even upgraded the front end with parts from XTM XT2e buggy, fitted CC 1515 motor, LED setup, got a stainless steel roll cage on the way for it too and a few other things. It really is a fun and easy car to work on.

Still I don't think I could let go of any of my other cars. I love the toughness of my RC8T FT and RC8Be. Also I don't think I could let go of my E-Revos anytime soon........ Actaully I don't have a clue why I posted here. I don't think I could let go of any of my cars, not to even mention cutting down to only one.

I am sure that we can all relate to that feeling, but when life changing events happen one has to make choices that he would not normally be faced with. In the end its just stuff, right. We can not take it with us, and leaving to anyone in most families seem a bit of a stretch. Our kids would be fighting over my R/C collection and that is the last thing any of us wants. I already told the wife if anything happens to me and she has to make that decision to let go of any of my stuff to list all of my R/C toys in here for sale out of respect for all of guys I have become friends with. Yea even James and Harold make that list.

I understand Gee's position perfectly. He has had a life changing event and decided to cut back on R/C for the sake of those changes. Could happen to any of us.

Jerry if my house was on the line or it was desperate time my RC cars would be one of the first things to go (all of them). I would even sell my underwear (if anyone was willing to buy it) if it meant keeping a roof over my head.

If I was only quitting the hobby there is no way I would sell my collection. Have spent way too much money on them and there is no way I would get a fraction of that back. Not to mention the time invested in modifying. Instead I would clean up my collection and stick it on the shelf or in a storage locker. I am sure one day I would pull them out for a bit of a play and remind my self of the days I was younger. I kick my self for giving away and selling my Jet Hopper and the Hornet from the younger days. I thought I would never care about RC again and 12 years later I was kicking my self for parting with them. It really wouldn't have killed me to have kept them on the shelf and today I would have two mint condition classics. I am not a hoarder but I like to keep things that have made a significant impact in my life. You can never have enough memories.

That was exactly my point Big Block. Gee is in the midst of a life changing event and has decided that R/C has to take a back seat because his house is just too full of R/C. He is re-prioratizing his life to suit the needs of his situation. He is not just getting out of the hobby. For a while R/C was his life. Something more important to him has over ridden his need for playing with R/C toys. Hence this sale.

I'd keep my 5b for sure. After you put some modest upgrades on it,it's amazingly tough. And the size of it is not only easy to work on but it also can run on rougher ground than any 1/8 scales I had. And the ease of running gas and maintaining it is just too easy even compared to BL. Now if someone will make an FG style steering setup to get rid of the slop and give me a tighter turnig radius it'll be perfect!

I ended up keeping my buggy and truggy, I tried to just stick with one, but if I had to let one go it would probably be my buggy.

[rschoi_75]

I let most go as well. I ended up keeping my XT8 and Crt.5.

[Bondonutz]

It would be a toss up between my XXL and a Truggy

Pretty much close to that point myself, have a self-imposed limit of 3 with things as they are. If I had to cut to one it'd be the SC8e no question. Best basher I have had, has the brute force of the Savage Flux but actually handles well also. If I had to cull one now, it'd most likely be the EDF Hoverjet but I doubt it'd fetch enough to make a sale worthwhile. It's fun, interesting concept but noisy as all hell and needs a big open space.
