Really need advice on what to get..
I want to get a new rc for my birthday, i would prefer a kit so i can build it myself...
I have:
Tamiya TXT-1 (modded to a bigger size and now humer h1)
Tamiya Hilift (pretty much stock and hardly used)
MCD Blueline Hummer H1 1:4
HPI Savage flux hp (xl size and modded,upgraded)
HPI Vorza flux (upgraded)
HPI Baja sc ss kit (made into brushless directly, and now upgraded)
Team Ass SC8e (upgraded)
Losi 5ive (upgraded)
Edit:
I also have:
Helis..
Align T-rex 600e
Mikado 500 3d
Love planes, almost finished a quarterscale mustag build long time ago, but i would like to get into something like that again.
I like rallycars, but i have had a fully race 1:5 racer technokit i think it was... wasnt that fun back then anyways.
Like boats and have build big ones by my own created drawings and turned out great, but have no place to use them.
Now i need something that is similar in quality or better, something that is missing in my garage... i really need your help.

I was also thinking a car is missing from your garage.
Maybe one of the tamiya onroad kits...with a mad brushless system installed in it? 100mph onroad car!

Either a 1/8 truggy (nitro or brushless pick your poison) or a brushless GT car like the Kyosho Inferno GT2 (e-converted), Ofna DM-1(e-converted) or the Ofna GTP2e kit. So far I hasven't driven anything quite as much fun as a brushless truggy on 6s! I will be doing an e-conversion to my Inferno GT shortly so it may come close!

You sir need a direct drive pan-car
The Tamiya Group C is a great car and is very tolerant of less than perfect road surfaces

RE: Really need advice on what to get..
Thank you guys for all the suggestions, some great ideas there..
I love building tamiya stuff, but most of the time they are not designed to take lot of abuse or be driven real hard. I am not really after a onroad only car that can go real fast straight forward, i want a fast car but that can go offroad to... something like formula offroad
A new baja 5b ss kit and leave it as a buggy and make something cool of it.... but maybe not
That new thunder tigre monster truck m4... pretty cool
Something from tamiya, but what to choose..
XO-1 is a really nice looking car, but dont like the ipod thing and only suitable for very flat surface.
Is there a more advanced model of the "heli" with the 4 rotors ? something that feels real quality and are a littlebit bigger then the small ones i hve seen.
Thought about a truggy, but i always wanna keep my cars scalelike..
Is there a bigger rallycar out there that is worth having ?

RE: Really need advice on what to get..
You mentioning large scale rally cars made me think of this. It's not a rally car, but if you want scale, and money really is no object...pic is clicky...

As for rally cars, there is one that is good...

RE: Really need advice on what to get..
oh oh oh... what about another Losi 5ive and converting it into a onroad car & even maby brushless?
Or be the first to turn a XO-1 into a rally car

But automan, i don't just go fast one way turn around and go fast the other with my on-roads, i go places where there are lots of street poles and curbs so i can set up my own little track.

RE: Really need advice on what to get..
The 5ive is a really nice truck, i love mine but havent got to drive it at any large open space yet and making it electric is out of the question, im not allowed cause fiance told me to keep it a gasser and that i already have to much brushless cars/trucks.. and i agree. Getting one more have crossed my mind, they are very cheap to what you get so.. but the only reason to do that would be to make that a brushless 5ive, and i already have a brushless baja 5sc ss so im in no real hurry to get another bigscale brushless as the baja is just to crazy to drive
And i have thought about a scale body for my big heli since i got it, but i feel i really need to learn how to fly better first.. havent crashed but i dont feel that secure about flying yet
That big fg F1 looks great, but it's a very old model.. still a very nice car, but i really dont have the right place nearby to run something like that and fully enjoy it.
Yea, could be fun
The MCD rallycar would be nice, but i cant find it with the bigger subaru body
Any other ideas guys ?

How about a poor adopted grandfather?

RE: Really need advice on what to get..
The Ofna ultra gt-2e sure looks cool and interresting, but i would prefer a rallycar.. something like the Ofna or a similar rallycar, atleast 1:8 size or bigger. Anyone know some high quality cars out there ? dont need to be a kit, just very high quality and well designed car.
Thanks so much for all the help so far, you guys are great [sm=thumbup.gif]
