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

i was just wondering which r/c company keep you guys coming back to this forum, so i thought i'd toss up a poll. which company do you have more of an interest in? i know it'll be hard to just pick one, since many of us have cars from different companies for one reason or another.

but, try to pick one.

i know there are other companies than just the ones i listed. but they seem to be the main players in the topics on this forum. feel free to vote "other" if your favorite isn't on the list.

No company keeps me coming back to this forum, the members are what keep me coming back. R/C's are supposed to be fun, I run mine for fun, beat the snot out of them, put them back together and do it again.

As to the poll, I'd have to say Tamiya, because they build the Clodbuster which is what I run, as well as a number of other scale rigs that are really cool.

Associated is my all-time favorite R/C company. Always has been. Rc10GT is my all-time favorite R/C. Always has been.

But, like Halgar said, it isn't just the about the cars.

I clicked Kyosho (should be no surprise to the regulars) but it's more the collection of all, plus the aftermarket stuff and one-offs, that keeps me hooked rather than 1 brand.

Pitty you didn't put more options and a rank:
I'd definitely have put Yokomo on second place

i guess i should rephrase the poll question.

i know we all come back for the people on the forum. that's a given.

Hey, you're the one that asked! LOL

And it's only brown nosing when there are ulterior motives, other than having a good time while here, I have no motives. Way too many places get bogged down in being "the best", being "the only", or whatever they believe themselves to be. RC10Talk and Clodtalk are just two groups of folks who enjoy playing with toys and chatting about them with their online buddies. We've got plenty of know-how and seriousness when the need arises, but no one really takes themselves all that seriously, which makes for a nice and friendly environment for all to play.

Except for that Hoopty character, he needs to relax ...

If it wasn't for Tamiya I wouldn't be into RC at all, so it has to get my vote.

Tamiya got me in when I was 11, Kyosho got me racing, and Associated and Losi seemed to get me more competitive. Tough call.

I would say Associated, they have always been there, and are always striving for better racing products.

I highly praise the Associated stuff but I am concerned with the Thunder Tiger thing. I don't want to see them become another huge, faceless conglomerate.
