My top five (but in no particular order):
IRC Vulcan SE - This 1/16 scale Chinese nitro buggy was my first hobby grade RC. It was a pain in the ass back then, but I always regretted selling it. Now I regret buying another one!
Original RC10 Worlds - I bought this a few years ago and raced it on carpet for a while. It's currently in pieces in a bin under my shelf, that counts right?
Losi Micro T - Its just adorable. I remember I always wanted one after seeing it in RCCA in 2004(?). Finally got my hands on one and it is absolutely everything I hoped it would be.
RC10 B6.2 - My current 2wd racer, I had all of the blue bits anodized purple and I put a JConcepts Illuzion body on it. It almost looks like a Turbo Optima Mid!
Losi XX4 - My 4wd racer. I just love the way it drives. It competes pretty well against modern 4wd buggies and everyone gets a kick out of seeing it on the track.

I forgot about those little guys! I think I had more fun with it than any other RC I ever owned. We had an epic oval track series going at my work, with 3 or 4 races each day. I made a small, laughably crude, paper "traveling trophy" that went to whoever won the most recent race. I still have that trophy on my desk after all of these years.
Thats awesome! I recently had some fun running it on my local indoor 10th scale track. Each lap took an eternity, but it was a blast for sure just making it around the track.

Re: Your top five cherished RC (by manufacture) in a collection?
I don't have many cars so this will be relatively easy for me.
My dogfighter works 91 to 93 hybrid.
My tq10
My original schumacher atom (where I started)
My Terra Scorcher
My Tamiya Tg10 nitro subaru
Although, my losi xxx is really fun to drive epecially when beating modern buggies.

The Graupner Rally Sport Fairlady does not get enough love .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: Your top five cherished RC (by manufacture) in a collection?
that is a difficult topic for me...
- Marui Samurai
- Kyosho Optima (would be hesitating between my Turbo Optima and Javelin)
- Kyosho Turbo Scorpion (although I could be tempted to put the Tomahawk here, but same as the Optima, there is so much in common between the 2 I'm cheating and making it one single spot)
- Marui Coors (or Ninja or Shogun, but the versatility of the Coors makes it in there)
- Hirobo Zerda
It's actually very tough to get 5 only... specifically because many of them are actually meaningfull for me for more than a reason... And what about the Nichimos : for me they have a very special spot. And there is no Tamiyas in my list, but if one would make it it would be probably the Lunhcbox for a lot of reasons... And the Marui Hunter have a very special spot as well for me... Very hard, actually
So hard, and here I only considered the cars I have here, not the one I would like to get at some point...
