I couldve had a good 400whp supra if i hadnt plunged into r/c. Ive had ALOT of cars, trucks and planes as well as operating (with friends) one of the best privately owned r/c forums on the internet. These are just what ive had pictured. Ill try to explain some stuff i did to them also.
Blade CX2, Completely stock just a bigger lipo
Wild Wing, braced with CF, double the power to weight. Does about 80 on a 7x5 prop and will glide all day.
Multiplex pico jet, Exactly the same setup as the wing just in a heavier airframe.
Slow Stick, 3:1 power to weight ratio, 2200 3s lipo, Custom built V tail, Aluminum landing gear, and a box that would either drop stuff out of it with a servo activated door or carry a camera for filming flights:

GWS funny park, First aileron plane ever, Same power system as the wild wing and picojet, Very fast but very heavy and i didnt like how it rolled or landed so i traded it for the slow stick.
Blow out at 60mph:
Traxxas slash, Multiplex radio gear, Tires/rims, Front bumper mod and Feiago 8L Brushless motor, Mamba ESC, was on 12 cells NIMH then it was put on 3s lipo. Did about 65-70
Traxxas Nitro Stampede, Dynamite 12s (custom cut crank before they started making the 12s in short crank), Ported, gasket matched and stripped Losi XXXNT full exhaust, Optional gearing, Tmaxx springs with cut fronts adjusted to the way i liked, Custom drilled shock pistons, Inner fuel tube bump stops to keep the front low and the a arms level for better handling, Uber fast throttle/brake servo, Duratrax ball bearings in everything and as you can see toward the end the whole power system from the slash above went into it with a 3s lipo. I loved this truck!
Traxxas Emaxx, Got it for free, Stock as hell and i beat the shit out of it. Traded straight up for the slash when it was
stock.
HPI Wheely King, Cut down savage TVP Chassis, Custom cut tmaxx shafts, Turnigy 55t lathe motor, Locked axles and center diff, 2lbs of led in the wheels, 133oz servos front and rear with 4WS, 6 cell for the motor 5 cell for the servos and radio gear, Bitchin bug body painted by me, Turnigy steering links, Shaved stock tires. First crawler and i loved it!
HPI Rs4-3 SS Mildly rare kit, HPI rims with venom belted tires, Full tuned exhaust, Peak performance .15 Diablo motor, HPI big filter, Optional tall gearing, MPI 3 stage clutch, Reverse tank mod to keep the fuel lines away from the pinion, MPI onboard temp gauge, HPI firebird body that i ran out of paint on, This car was a monster, It rarely had traction and it would do 70-75 all day. I loved it but i moved to a place where onroads were impossible to run so i sold it. Biggest regret ever.
HPI original rs4, Stock as can be!! First nitro ever, I ran this everywhere, Onroad, offroad, when the belts broke, I ran it fwd and rwd, I beat the snot out of this and then traded it for a Losi NXT.
XTM Mammoth ST, Stock and monstrous, I beat this hard and put it away wet many times. I ended up selling it after i bent the chassis on it and asked XTM about this on one of their forums after writing a story about it on mine, Where they called me a liar and said i bent the chassis in a vice, That their braces would hold it and not bend. A month and an apology later they introduced the XXT on the same platform. With different CNC machined aluminum full braces in place of the plastic ended bars.
Losi NXT, This quickly became a parts bin truck after i spent a good $200 just on parts for it, It got an engine swap twice, Once with the stampede where it lost its Dynamite and then again when i put the Peak Diablo .15 that i bought for it into the rs4-3, It ended up running the nitrate sleeved POS HPI 12rss motor that came stock in the rs4-3SS and after i tried rebuilding the ball diff 5 times spending $30 each time i traded it away only to learn that the instructions had me putting a washer in the wrong place and the new owner fixed it in 5 minutes. Live and learn.
Right now i still have the Wild wing and this little vintage car:
Kyosho Wheely popper, Use to be nitro, converted to electric with a 400 series glider motor and a duratrax esc, it runs on a 2s lipo with a savage transmission gear as a pinion on a prop adapter for a plane. Its Geared 1:1. It will do a good 50 on the back wheels and if you dont get it right it will crash horribly. No suspension. Straight axle. I rarely run it anymore because these are so rare and impossible to find parts for.
Sorry for the huge post! I hope you all enjoy!
