I have a traxxas t-maxx. Its fun to play around with. Only thing that sucks is the maintanance. Its not that bad but it can get kind of time consuming.

I've got a few Tamiya models. Electric ones, not gas. Nice hobby, but what I really like is the building the car part, I never really drive mine (so I end up buying the cheapest control units and stuff...).

I was into off road racing pretty big last year, now it seems I can't find the will to keep fixing my car.

I have 2 tamiya cars, the main one i drive is a 4wd one that i use for drifting, it has a Yokomo S15 body on it, with Super Advan wheels on it just like the HKS S15, and it's wired with leds for headlights and taillights. now that I'm out of school I can have some time for it again.

i have a traxxus rustler that I have owned for about 5 years....probably used it a total of 2 hours..... they seem like a neat idea but i get bored fairly quickly. Mine is electric too.

Neighbor bought a T-MAXX gas powered... he used it about 3 times in the last 2 years.... great purchase.

I also have a tamiya (i think that is the brand) S2000 like the one Mindcore has pictured. It is barely faster than my truck..

I used to have a Kyosho Double Dare.... that was a HUGE waste of $$$ I think i paid about $300 then bought a bunch of oil filed shocks, chassis shit, etc... wired 2 battery packs together so it would run twice as fast..... then flipped it at about 25mph and watch shit fly everwhere!!!! I eventually gave all the pieces away.
