Finally got around to taking pictures of the stable.

First is the Evolution series xmod Scion Tc.



It's all stock for now. I've got some regular hop ups for it, but nothing extraordinary.

Next is another Evolution series xmod, my Mitsu Evo VIII. This one has the stage II motor, upgraded steering and suspension, AWD kit, lights and an ugly body kit and widebody just so I don't screw up the actual body.





Next is the king of the road. If I were to have a "DD" so to speak this would be it. It runs through anything without a hiccup. Also has no problem pulling wheelies and doing stoppies. Not the greatest out there, but tons of torque. Just a cheapy I got while working at Radio Shack after Christmas 06 for dirt cheap.



^^ Yes, it has headlights as well.

Here's my ebay special. HPI RS4 Pro, IDK what generation it is. But it's belt driven, CF body and has TONS of potential. Unfortunately it's down right now. I'm sure it has something to do with the junk speed controller and HUGE motor. But I've replaced the receiver and servo on there with a decent Futaba set.



Next, the ProPulse 1:18th scale truck. I flipping love this thing. It's 25 MPH out of the box and handles amazingly. Right now I've got the titanium turnbuckles on it, upgraded servo saver, carbon fiber driveshaft, geared for speed and now twin motor conversion (the twin motors have the torque, so geared for speed and this thing is nuts).  thumbsup It's so light the thing slides all over with the sticky slick tires on the asphalt.





I've also got some extra stuff waiting for it... A single high speed motor for spring when I can get it outside and really open it up, and 6 extra sets of tires. From above pictures left to right, all terrain tires, dirt tires, ribbed tires (x2), slick tires, knobbed tires.  Grin

Last is the mac daddy. The cream of the crop. The Traxxas REVO. 2.5cc AWD, great suspension travel and ~50 MPH out of the box.

Ironically this was my first RC truck that I bought. I've rarely used it because it's finicky, and I suck at getting it tuned properly. It won't stay running and just gets irritating. But when it does run it's insane. It has seen over 6' of air, broken many parts (all been fixed though).

My two favs, one is 1:18th, the other 1:8th



All the farm together

They are designed completely different, different suspension, different steering, different drivetrain. IDK about speed though.
