A nice Losi XXX CR. It has been run very little. Rick (Bearrickster) was kind enough to sell it to me years ago so I can't take credit for the build. Just the caretaker right now.

Kyosho TF-2 TypeR that I ran in a "rubber slick" class on a flat carpet oval.
The class didn't last long, but it was fun. It was essentially the drift class before drifting was cool in RC. It's exactly as it was the last time I ran it the mid 90s.

... and yes, it was not the best transponder location ...

I'll have another stab at it with my Procat, it was the car I always wanted when I was a kid and one of the first I bought after getting back into the hobby.
