9th? holy crap you have a lot, granted I do too but my most expensive one was a nylint. actually I take that back, I bought a Losi Micro-T only to tear it about after owning for a week to use for parts :D

I'll have to post pics of what I have so far

ya i started with an HPI stadium truck, then a KYOSHO V-one RRR and a HPI Micro RS4.  Took a 3 year break.  Then went crazy 2.5 years ago. I got a Traxxas Revo 3.3, a RC18T, an Axial AX10, a losi 8ight T, I am picking up a brushless Slash this weekend.

The RC are just cheaper to fix then my truck.

Missing is my Losi and the HPI.

I can't wait to drive the brushless slash tomorrow.  The guy said it will go 67MPH SWEET!

And faster to get on the trail, "Just a minute dear, I'll be in once I'm done with this obstacle!"

you should get the losi 2.2 tires and memory foam, it makes a HUGH difference.  I can almost get my AX10 to flex 90 degrees, still got a few bugs to work out, but it will be my summary project after I dial in the Slash I just picked up.

mine gets about 80 to 85... but i still have more plans is the works.  need to get tires, and upgrade some electronics in the future... but or now it does a pretty impresive job for as little i'm into it for.
