I dont think any of the modern kits go together quite as well as the original RC10 team car!

Nothing like the first time though, with the most recent as runner up.

Personally, the only one of my 6 cars I have owned I had to build. It was a TLR 22 buggy. I enjoyed building it, to an extent. I prefer to buy RTR then change out what needs to be changed out for tuning. I work damn hard for my money and prefer to buy something, use it , then work on it... I think I'm just lazy that way

Hands down...building up my Axial Wraith. There are so many options for it and you can do just about anything with them.

1/5 large scale FG EVO Competition is my favorite, never owned one but have help build one. This RC is a piece of art; loaded with aluminum, carbon, 4 disk brakes, differentials...
Sweet

Default Awesomatix

I reckon building a 1/5th scale FG EVO would defiantely be great if I could afford the kit.
I have built only a few cars - losi xxx BK1, tamiya F104 v2, kyosho - zx5 fs2 & RB6, tamiya 4i7v5 and awesomatix A700ex.
And although japanese kits are nice to build, By far and away the best of these to build has been the AWESOMATIX.
- Precision fit
-perfect gear diff - full bearings, seals that dont leak, exact mesh without making changes [makes the 417v5 diff look CHEAP].
-extra small parts in the kit!! yes believe it or not, you get xtra shims,fasteners, pins etc. So if you drop something in the long carpet [haha] you dont need to search you can just grab another one[lazy].

My AE T4 truck.. for some reason it was one of my fav builds (I think it was when I switched from being a Losi guy to an AE guy and realised how much better AE cars are)

hehehe *ducks for cover*

Have you built an AWESOMATIX kit? I was just looking at these on the web. Im going to video one Saturday practicing or a race. They have quite a suspension system going on there.

Default a700

Yes I have built 1x A700EX. It was a pleasure.
I also own a Tamiya 417v5 which is high quality but the Awesomatix for quality is better in a few areas - example - Diff design and quality, amount of steering free play from new.
The drivetrain is very free also.
Its very interesting to have a car that is so unique too.
The suspension I am told is sealed for life - maintenance free.

I thought building my tc3 into a drifter was an awesome build but once I got to completing it I moved to another so I can't really say I have a favorite if I jump onto another build but the one I enjoy so far is my scaler scx10 just because options and upgrades are endless... lol
