World = Massami No contest :woot:
UK = Jamie Booth ! :D

Never really did touring "too boring" but know doubt if he had he would have been up there ! :eh?:

OFFROAD "magical" :thumbsup:

Masami for sure. Look at his record in all classes.

But, I met Hara in Japan at the worlds last year, he is very cool!!!!
Truhe is also a cool guy.
Oh and I bugged Drescher all week as I was pit right next to him, he is a legend as well:thumbsup:

And Jimmy is also becoming a world famous R/C Legend:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

that pretty much sums the guy up. Talent from head to toe!

UK choice is harder. Booth, Drescher, Kevin Moore, Spashett, Cragg. Or even Mr Doughty! (off road, micro, and now rallycross!) :woot:

Masami has to be #1 worldwide for all the reasons mentioned. I was just a very young lad starting out in the best hobby in the world when I went down to Romsey to watch the world champs .... Masami with the RC10 left a lasting impression .... with the CAT he became an instant icon to all that watched that day!!!!

In the UK I'd say it's 50/50 Jamie Booth and Chris Doughty. Both of them have raced all sorts, had good times and bad but both have also always helped me, and every other person who popped over to say hi, out in terms of advice, that vital part to continue the day and even just a kind word when things are getting people down. True gents them both.
Then there are Neil & Mick Cragg ...... oh hell, it's hard to choose isn't it!!!

14 actually, and by the far best all rounder. He was outstanding in 1/12th, and 1/10th on road, as well as touring and buggies. Fantastic to watch driving but his preparation is amazing, and his tyre cut and shutting which was unbelievable.

Surely Dave Church ...... he's double veteran champ don't you know? ..... and he's multi-talented (he can drink/spill vodka with both hands) :thumbsup::p

Gayo 04-11-2008 05:34 PM

Masami is a legend for sure, but he never made any nitro racing that I know of.

Best all round racer is Hara, no doubt. Former Touring World champ, new 1/8 buggy champ, multiple A finals in 1/12th, off road 1/10th... and a very nice guy too :thumbsup: Except the haircut :thumbdown::D

Other very good all round racers : Pavidis, Johnson

rob8246 04-11-2008 10:17 PM

Adam 'Showtime' lewis gets my vote, legend! :thumbsup:

showtime 04-11-2008 10:21 PM

Less we forget Mr Rasey from the equation though?

Flanders
Showtime
Hara
Masami

In that order?? :thumbsup:

Ashley 05-11-2008 04:43 PM

I am not sure he was the best all-rounder, but it is difficult to name anyone else as BOAT when you see this...

c0sie 08-11-2008 03:34 PM

I presume they are not just club trophies in there LOL

SlowOne 08-11-2008 03:36 PM

Shelf behind him is his 14 World Title cars, the rest are from Japan Nationals, Reedy Races, etc., etc., etc.... So no, not Club trophies, really... :D :D
