What's the best R/C car name ever?

Post by THEYTOOKMYTHUMB »

This just kinda came to me this second so I haven't put too much thought into it(not that I ever put much thought in anything :lol: ). Maybe "The Grasshopper". Then again it's an all-time classic so maybe I'm just playing faves. Whatcha think?

Hard to beat "Clod Buster". Pretty much sums up what that vehicle is. Although, I would say "Juggernaut" did outdo it, that is an awesome name, probably my all time favorite for any r/c vehicle.


Now that I think of it, most r/c car names are pretty cheesy. "Lazer" or "Warhead" or "Dark Impact" :lol: Or all those cars with a driver's name are pretty cheesy, even if they are top of the line cars. No offense to said drivers, but it gets to be like a designer hand bag or something in the car naming dept.

:lol: When I saw the Tamiya "Dualhunter" I knew they ran out of names. :lol: I LOVE Tamiya don't get me wrong, but I could randomly pee in the snow and come up with a better name than that.

Grasshopper, Scorpion, why not some other insect names "the roach" second generation could be the "hissing Roach" or "Fly" second generation could be the "butterfly" the "Spider" 2nd "Tarantula". On a more serious note since I was able to ride my bicycle to the hobby store I would love to own a Scorpion, Hot shot not that awesome of a name for a car but what I ended up with and while the name maybe wasnt the best the car sure was to me. As far as names "Ultima" isnt bad or how about the "Invader". If I had to come up with one on my own I guess it would be maybe........................

Ha, Its not as easy as it sounds.

Well still thinking about it how about the "Ravager", "Punisher", or "Pillager" I know nothing that has been produced but you never know who reads this so maybe instead of a "Baldre" or "Neo Falcon" we would end up with a more masculine name like the "Villigante" or "Patriot". But I guess the all time favorite name for a car is "It's Mine". :D

yup, that was a terrible rc. i bought one off of a friend for $10 and fixed it up. it caught on fire and melted to the point of no return.
I always liked the cat, and the jrx but got an rc10 instead. even though i didn't want to mention the rc10, i have to tell the truth.
