My recent RC purchase to revive my interest in the hobby. :)

The Tamiya Lunch Box Monster Truck.

Only just really getting into hobby grade RC but if you consider the toy grade RC's I have as well:

Toy Grade:

ZipZaps SE Acura Integra (Appx 29,000 RPM Motor)

ZipsZaps SE Acura RSX (Appx 34,000 RPM Motor)

Airhogs Terrain Titans - Thunder Truck

Hot Wheels Stealth Rides - Power Treads

(Acura Integra is not pictured)

Lower spectrum toys, yes, but hellishly entertaining at that. Especially the Hot Wheels. Its a small (appx 1:64 scale) tank with unbelievable ability for its size. Its actually a lot of fun just throwing a bunch of stuff at random down on the desk and seeing how well it runs over said stuff.

Sub-Hobby Grade:

Takara Tomy GX-03 Buggy (15 mph stock out of box)

3 CH Gyroscopic Helicopter

This toy is fun. In second gear, the motor maxes out and you wheelie without trying. Plus if you toss it in a garbage can and turn the wheels, this will rev fast enough to spin around the inside wall of the can and jump right out! Bought it in Korea on a whim when I was there in March, but it will be coming to the US in the fall under the Air Hogs Hyperactive.

I burned through 3-4 larger 3 Channel choppers in less than a year, and finally bought this one to play around with indoors and as my last helicopter. (I think I'll stick to R/Cs that stay on the ground from now ;) )

Hobby Grade:

Losi Micro-T Desert Truck

Losi Micro-T HighRoller (modified DT)

God I love this intro into Hobby Grade. And already, it's a money pit. Just ordered a LiPo battery back for it and ball bearings for the wheels. Planning on getting an Atomic BB II motor for it later, when I can find one in stock again, and might upgrade the suspension, arms and supports to aluminum later (or snake all of those parts from the Used HighRoller that I run as my beater - previous owner spec-ed it up with some hop-ups and then dropped it for peanuts to make quick cash.) Loving these toys!

Next up on my list is either an Electric Traxxas Summit, or a Nitro T-Maxx, unless something more interesting makes its way onto my radar :D

Recently got back into racing Kyosho Mini Z's at a local track here.

Even ended up picking up the newer MR03 with the 2.4ghz ASF boards. The newer autoscale bodies are so damn pretty and detailed.

i so want another 4wd rc10 with every option lol. i had one and i drove it into a lake  i can't really spend that on one again with other things i need right now. it was so much fun though. my first buggy was this tamaya grasshopper or something. yeah, been doing it for a bit.
