RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I was just being harassed by my wife, as she strolled through my workshop, counting how many cars I had laying around. I didn't really think I had as many as I did, but they seem to have accumulated a lot recently, and I have run out of places to put them. The spill-over caught my wife's eye...





So we counted.

Between actual race cars, restoration projects, flip investments and finished restored cars, I have 21 sitting there in a 14' x 14' area of the unfinished basement. I have a bit of a "collecting" problem, but I'm sure most of you guys have WAY more cars than I do... so how many do you have?

I have 52, which will soon be 53 with my X11.

well, currently i got 32. but, i'm hoping # 33 is in the near future.

27

what's with the rolling eyes? do you think you have too many or not enough?

I don't think I have enough, she thinks the 10 she knows about is too many

+ 3 helis and 5 planes

only 5

I lost count when it got over 100. I keep the bulk of them in the garage. my wife only complains about the Kinghauler, Mountaineer and Hilux that occupy some of the shelves in the office

i got alot, i estimate more than 40 but less than 60.

about 30 of 'em are shelf queens.

i am now about 80% completed with the tunnel...

and we all know it's a long one... I don't think there's an other car ever released with so many conversion kits and hop-up options in the RC history, I guess that's precisely why we are all stuck here, trying to pass the tunnel, but it seems we all lack lights, I've still not crossed anyone of you... by the way, I must have about 25 rigs, and the wife just read the entire post and laughed, thank you guys for having more than me, chapeau to shodog

Hmmm... a little over 300, give or take a few. Several which are duplicated and triplicated in the count since I tend to keep acquiring and storing NIB models....

BUT.... this count will drop considerably in the near future since most of my personal collection will begin being placed on Ebay sometime in August/September.... so keep an eye out.
