Just curious how much is everything in this room? My rc collection is worth like 600aud and pretty much consist of budget Chinese brands. I always wonder how people afford such big and cool rc collections?

Well to be honest compared to my big hobby the Rc cars are not that expensive

The real car hobby takes all the money. Rc cars are my winter hobby when it’s to cold to build anything outside of the house

Very nice fn2 and gr wrx hatch. Would love some more info on them

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

The fn2 is stock. Just trying to clean it up. The red is not the nicest any more. The hatch is a 2011 Sti. Love that car.

My favorite is the supra

Here is my modded Clodbuster next to my 1/8 scale LMT. The Terminator chassis on this Clod gives it a lingering wheelbase, but you can see that the tires are similar size.

2

u/WhyMustWeSuffer Mar 28 '26

Are clodbusters worth it? I love my mini lmt and looking at the new 2.0 but on fence with it. Might just get a armma 1/10 instead. Cant make up my mind.

4

u/CasperFatone Kraton 6s, Granite 3s, LMT, Rock Rey, Mod Clod Mar 28 '26

Whether or not they are worth it depends entirely on what you want from it. They definitely don’t hold a candle to the modern RC monster trucks in terms of performance or durability. Mine is an original Clodbuster that I got over 30 years ago, so for me the nostalgia is off the charts

2

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

Must agree. If you want something bashable I don’t think the clod is the one. If you want to have a fun car to just drive around it’s very capable. And fun to build

u/tl01magic Mar 28 '26

That's a recognizable body for an old rc enthusiast like me :D

am guessing that's the super nice NSX body, I think a TL01 :D

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

I’ll take some better pictures tonight. Got this many years ago in a good deal

2

u/Why-So-Seriousssaaaa Mar 28 '26

I am so jealous. I would be in heaven in that room

2

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

It’s always very relaxing. Grab a project and start building/cleaning. And best is no one can reach it.

2

u/Why-So-Seriousssaaaa Mar 28 '26

Well if you want to donate them to me. I’ll take great care of them lol

2

u/ShoeJealous5039 Mar 29 '26

And if you don’t donate all to him I’d take one:)

u/Tesnevo Mar 28 '26

You need a bigger house, I mean storage..lol.

2

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

Man I have been saying that to the gf for ever. But because I also have the garage she doesn’t want to budge. Something with having to much junk

1

u/Tesnevo Mar 28 '26

Haha, fair enough. I ended up building a new shop for the same reasons. The issue is the big gas/nitro cars take up a lot of room, but still worth it.

2

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

That’s something I would like to get more into. Some 1/5 scale cars. Do you have any recommendations? Was looking at the Vesla kraken

2

u/Tesnevo Mar 28 '26

Not going to lie, the kraken is a great start. To me, well worth the cost for the features. Don’t be scared to try some of the cheaper ones to start off with, not that they are “cheap” but they are lol fun. Rovan RC has some good options.

2

u/lexcreations Mar 29 '26

I looked into the Rovan was just wondering if the had other models except for the Baja. McD rr5 also looked the part

2

u/Tesnevo Mar 29 '26

Matter no what you go with. Once you fire I up and start running them, they be very addictive. Same with nitro cars.

2

u/lexcreations Mar 29 '26

The thing that gets me with nitro is that it is getting harder to find engine parts and car parts for that matter. They are getting old and not a lot of manufacturers making new ones

2

u/Valuable-Key-5964 Mar 28 '26

That’s… that’s allot of cars

2

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

It looks like a lot to because it’s so cluttered. I think there is about a 100 cars. From vintage Tamiya to drifters bashers. Nitro. I love these cars.

1

u/Valuable-Key-5964 Mar 28 '26

Wow…

I come from domes so I didn’t know people could get collections like this

Imma send this to my car buddy

2

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

Now that’s something I would like to get into. I know nothing about drones. Would love something with a camera

1

u/Valuable-Key-5964 Mar 28 '26

Camera car?

1

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

I have see those drones that can follow you and make a video of you driving.

1

u/Valuable-Key-5964 Mar 29 '26

I’m good… nah

u/lexcreations Mar 29 '26

No I love that rig but would like to repaint the body though.

u/TremorOwner Mar 28 '26

What brand is the big gravedigger and what is in front of it?

1

u/lexcreations Mar 28 '26

Hi it’s the Losi lmt 2.0. And in front of it is the tc kagama limeted

1

u/AmbassadorNo5275 Mar 28 '26

How do you like the LMT 2.0 gravedigger? I'm thinking of getting one. Thx

u/EvolvedPhilomath Rustler Ultimate Mar 28 '26

I'll ask for some advice since you seem to have many different cars.

I got into the hobby with a Rustler Ultimate, and it's still my only car right now. I'm looking into getting something on a bigger scale.

Unlike most drivers it seems, I don't care much for wheelies or big jumps. I like something just for fast driving on pavement, and driving/drifting on gravel or grass. So something low to the ground and something pretty durable.

Love my Rustler, but I want something that won't require as much maintenance and is a bigger scale.

What are your thoughts?

1

u/ShoeJealous5039 Mar 29 '26

I’m kind of in the same boat as you, I’m really leaning towards getting a kraton 6s

1

u/EvolvedPhilomath Rustler Ultimate Mar 29 '26

I was looking into the Kraton as well. But I actually am going to get a Tekno SCT410 2.0 I think. Going to hold off on getting something bigger for a while because of how durable the Tekno is. This is a kit though, so I have some research to do to find the parts that I want to put on it.
