Here is most of my collection. I need to get some updated pics of my RC10, so it is not included yet.

FIrst, here is my first real r/c car, a Tamiya Fox. I bought this back in 1987 or 88 I think with money I earned collecting nickel cans. When I moved off to college I sold off all my r/c stuff. Fortunately I had broken the Fox's chassis in half so I couldn't sell it. I could years ago I got it out of storage, replaced it's chassis and a few other parts and now it sits on my shelf.

This is my Jrx2. This was a restoration project and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. It sits in a glass case along side my RC10. Since taking these pics I have replaced the LItesink with a Jrx2 stamped motor plate.

My Lunchbox. This is a box stock with ball bearings truck.

A Tamiya Blackfoot. Another box stock truck. I've got some gold/silver Sees wheels on this truck now.

My Tamiya full option Tiger tank. I converted this kit from an early production tank to a mid production tank as would have been used in Normandy. At this point I can't remember everything I did to this tank, but it was a lot, it took a couple months to finish. I'm very happy with the results.

Next is my old school Clodbuster. This truck is loaded. It's got a Sassy Chassis, JPS axles, Bennet front end, AE shocks. Super Rooster, Sees Wheels, Kyosho USA-1 tires, Trinity heat sinks and a bunch of other stuff. I built this truck to race at the vintage off road nationals, and because I love old school Clods.

My new school Clod. This truck has a John Boyer tube frame, JPS axles and wheels, 17x2 motors, a Super Rooster, TTR ball diffs, CVDs up front, solid axles in the rear, Revo shocks, etc. I love this truck.

Here it is with a stock Clod Tamiya hard body:

My Buggy Champ. Mostly stock, but I made it a custom aluminum electronics tray.

Recently I converted it to a Sand Scorcher.

Here it is ready to race with a Mr Lexan lexan body:
