I think every collector has that 1 build you take your time with even if it takes months or sometimes years

Im definitely Team Tamiya but traxxas had some beautiful stadium trucks. I dont like traxxas new builds even tho I hear they are very tough and have great quality parts but to me they lack the style of their older models so when I saw the traxxas hawk and eagle in a old magazine I just had to have o...
