Quick Poll
Hey all, I'm simply wanting to get an understanding as to how you engage yourself in 'the hobby'. ;-)</p>
1. How many rc vehicles do you own (feel free to list each make)
2. How often do you ride (ie. once a week, three times a month, each day?)
3. What is your typical/favorite type of run? Bashing, racing, light off-road, on-road, etc.
4. How much time do you spend on maintenance vs running?
5. What is the favorite vehicle you currentlyown? (None ofthese"it depends on the situation" answers). Simply, <u>what is your favorite</u>?
6. What is the next vehicle you plan to get?
7. What is your "dream vehicle"...assuming it differs from #6.
Thanks!!</p>

A.Tamiya's:df03ra, m03, TXT-1, Juggernaut 2, Double blaze, Blackfoot Xtreme based scale truck, Scania Highline.HPI: wheely king crawler. Traxxas: Sledgehammer and stampede. Losi: mini baja. A-tech Leo-x aka Venom Mini giant. VStank Tiger 1(if counted).
2.Lately, maybe a couple times a month. Much more often in warmer weather.
3.Mostly cruise around the yard or street, so I guess it would be called bashing.
4.About equal. I keep my vehicles in very good shape.
5.I would probably say my tiger 1.
6.I plan on building a custom scale/trail truck.
7.My Tamiya Juggernaut 2. I wanted one ever since I started hobby level RC vehicles. I finally got one a few years ago.

RE: Quick Poll
1. Several, probably around 10, some of which are in parts. I have owned MANY MANY more.
2. I have not really been actively engaged in the stuff lately. It's winter, and I have not really felt like dealing with any of it.
3. Carpet oval.
4. I treat my cars very gently, so they rarely require maintenance, unless it's preventative maintenance.
5. My X-Ray X10 Link... or my Losi 810. It's a tie.
6. I would like to get the Losi 5ive.
7. Something custom, I would love to put a Conley V8 in a quarter scale WCM car... but I am several thousand dollars short.

RE: Quick Poll
1. 25ish(too lazy to do an actual count)
2. Not very often. I got bad luck on days I'm completely free, and have time to run its usually raining, or the weathers very uncooperative. Example I rebuilt my 2 RC's for snow, next day it hit 45ish, and rained and it all melted... And every time its snoed since It snowed on say friday night, and by tuesday which is my 1st free day (I work double shifts every weekend) its been 100% melted, and a mud fest...
3. Pure bashing don't live close enough to a track that for the amount of money spent on gas for the little time I would get on the track makes sense (literally over 50 miles from any tracks)
4. Depends on the RC. I've got some RC's that honestly I've done no real maintenance to, and they haven't really broke, and some that are sitting waiting for parts, or more time spent making them run then they actually run.
5. Hard call toss up between my savages, CRT.5's, DF-02's or my 6wd Wheely King. Now for the opposite I can say the 3 I really regret that I bought, and wish I could turn back time... #1 Brama 10b, #2 Micro High Roller, #3 Mini Revo
6. Currently there's no real vehicle I want in all honesty seeing I've got most my bases covered.
7. hmm can't think of one really.

a) Kyosho Inferno GT
b) Mugen MBX5T
c) AE RC10GT with a bg block conversion
d) AE NTC3 with a big blcok conversion
e) Jammin' CRT.5 with a big block conversion
f) Losi 8ight-E 2.0
g) AE RC18T brushless
2) I run them a couple time a week
3) I am just a basher. Racers seem to be a bit too stuck up for my taste but I wouldn't mind giving racing a try sometime. Offroad, but I can get on an onroad kick too. I love anything fast!
4) probably about 50/50 although this time of year there is alot more time spent building/maintaining than driving.
5) Mugen MBX5T
6) Don't really have aplan for a new one right now. Whatever catches my attention.
7) I guess anything that can comfortably handle triple didget speeds (MPH) and doesn't have a Traxxas lable on it! I think my Losi 8ight-E 2.0 will fill this niche.

2. Rarely lately, maybe once a month. I've been too busy with school and the weather sucks.
3. Bashing.
4. I do more maintenance than running, I keep my trucks pristine and I enjoy it.
5. Slash 4x4
6. Nothing planned, but I'm really interested in the 1/8th gasoline short course truck HPI showed at Nuremberg, if it's not too expensive.
I'm also really hoping Losi will come out with a 1/16th 4wd short course truck, then I would sell my mini Slash and get it instead.
7. Same as 6, I really want a gasoline truck but 1/5th is too expensive and too big to keep in my apartment.
Yes I love short course trucks lol.
