[dale_gribble]

Finally I have a Nitro TC3, RTR version. Just picked it up cheap and I haven't run it yet. I also have another project x-factor without any good pics of it.

[hanomag]

Nice collection you got three!!!

Lucky you. I wish I could buy moe off-road stuff.

BTW, a few questions:
1 - which one do prefer to run
2 - which one do you keep as a shelf queen
3 - Which one have the most mods on it (I would say the savage but not sure)
4 - Last but not least, how much monety do you spend on those really nice truck??? (Just for fun cause they seems all well maintained)
;)
Thanks for sharing

[NCNitro]

Very nice collection!

[alexdriver]

Won't lose the Evader.

[dale_gribble]

Ya, it stands out for sure. Won't be that pretty for long. Racing starts for me in a few weeks. :D

[revoman78]

dude nice rides

[dale_gribble]

Thanks. I just did a new body for my MMT. It turned out pretty good for a first airbrush attempt I think.

[18mt_basher23]

nice savage! Turn your tires around and you'll gat a lot more grip!

[dale_gribble]

Thanks...

I just picked up a CRT X1 Pro in super shape for a great deal. Not too much to look at yet.

http://www.intergate.com/~rpurcell/rcu/fleet/crtpro1.JPG

I just painted a new shell for my Revo 3.3-

http://www.intergate.com/~rpurcell/rcu/fleet/revo_body2.JPG

And I picked up another NIB classic! Kyosho Hi Rider Vette.

http://www.intergate.com/~rpurcell/rcu/fleet/hirider1.jpg

I am at 17 total now.

[looker2756]

Dude your collection ROCKS !! I too have way to many, But I love them all. Your custom X-Factor is sweet. Nice work on that one & all the others as well. Looks like you stuck for life like the rest of us Addicts. I keep telling everyone, at almost 40 there are way worst things I could spend my money & time on for sure !! Believe it or not my wife is used to it :D .

[dale_gribble]

Thanks man!

Here are my latest additions/updates.

I painted a shell for the CRT after I got it.

http://www.intergate.com/~rpurcell/rcu/fleet/CRT3.JPG

Here is that Hard Drive shell mounted on the Revo

http://www.intergate.com/~rpurcell/rcu/fleet/revo_body3.JPG

Here is one of my newest and most cherished additions, Mad Force RCX Edition. This is straight out of the box where I bought it from, so I need to clean it up.

http://www.intergate.com/~rpurcell/rcu/fleet/RCX3.JPG

And I bought another NIB kit from my past, a Marui Big Bear

http://www.intergate.com/~rpurcell/rcu/fleet/big_bear1.JPG

[OldSchoolRC]

a Big Bear!!! Very nice, you are bringing back a lot of memories... :)

Do you plan on building up that Hi-Rider Vette or keeping it in the box? That's a very nice find BTW.

[dale_gribble]

It is staying in the box. I get just as must satisfaction of opening the box and sifting through the parts and manual as I would building it. Kind of hokey, I know.

[focus07]

Very nice collection.

[dale_gribble]

Thanks for the kind words!

[dale_gribble]

Here's the Savage after I bolted the Proline 23mm adapters and CEN GST wheels/tires.

I need a 8ight like that. I am looking at a RC8 now and just about ready to pull the trigger.

Sweet rides Dale !

Gotta love those solid axel monsters !

[dale_gribble]

Haha! I am all about the solid axle monsters. They drive differently, handle differently and require a whole different way of driving.

[master_of_desaster]

O-)--<>--(-O solid baby!
