Smile My favorite builds............................................ ......

Between my RC10 gold tub, vintage 1989 and my Bolinger 4 wheel chain drive. I think the RC10 because it was my first, but, that early Bolinger had it going on for performance and shear simplicity, wish I still had that one.

Still have parts of the RC10, in it's fifth or sixth incarnaton.

I think I enjoyed building my first XRAY T3'2012 the most. It was my first time building an XRAY kit (had a couple of TOP photons before). Everything went together so precisely, with no shimming or sanding, I was thoroughly impressed. It was dialed with just the kit setup too. I've built several XRAY kits since then(another T3, a T4 and an XB4) and all have been awesome. I enjoyed building my first one the most though. It made me an XRAY fan for life. I'll have an XB2 ordered, the moment it's released.

I enjoyed building the Tekno EB48. Starting my build on the SCT410 tomorrow. Lets hope it's as smooth!

My favorite builds are my T4.1 and my RC18T2. The T4.1 just fell together, the new molds on that kit were greatly appreciated. My RC18T2 was frustrating at times, but the extra work I put into it made it worth it - it still remains my favorite car to drive (so small yet so fast!). Both have been very reliable. My least favorite build by far was a XXXT-CR, I had multiple issues with the kit and when I finally finished the rolling chassis I gave it to a friend at work who completed it. My current project is a Mini 8ight Truggy conversion, and I have a 22T and a T4.2 that I still need to start working on. Plenty of work, not enough time to do it!

I first enjoyed building my Kyosho RB5 SP2 due to the precision of it.

Then I built a Tekno EB48...which had both the precision and even more thought put into design. I've since built another one and two Tekno SCT410's, and they've all been smooth and easy/enjoyable builds.

I'm going to show my age a bit .I had fun building the Kyosho Turbo Burns and the first edition Team Associated RC10 GT. I have rebuilt 4 Traxxas Tmaxx trucks for people and I have one more to do I'm a bit tired looking at them.

My favorite is anything TRF (Tamiya's racing stuff). Goes together absolutely perfectly. Really feels like you're building a race car rather than a toy car.

i go the opposite way, my favorite was/is the grasshopper. reminds me of being a kid, good friends, good times and my intro into real rc cars.

i just got a new grasshopper for my son's 4th birthday. i'm building it tonight or tommorow night. should only take between a 1/2 hour and an hour but it will be fun for sure.

i did enjoy building the hpi cup racer, but it was such a poor performer.
ae rc8be was my first 1/8 and it was a really fun build too, but the lowly grasshopper is the winner for me.
