If we're including 'naked' chassis: The '87 Worlds Optima Mid prototypes. Everything was machined from solid black anodised alloy except the wishbones...

DYNA STORM!!! :woot:

The pictures are of my Dyna Storm, it has Custom Carbon Wheels, Custom Paint Scheme, Hi-Cap Dampers and Carbon chassis plates!

1. Lazer ZX-S Evo Proto (my one below) but kit version form is just as nice
2. Tamiya Proto type as run bY Alan Harman and Ellis Stafford in the early 90's
3. Masami's Proto RC10

This has to be the best....

And here I was thinking this thread was about box stock cars...

LOL! :lol:

But seeing we are now talking 'any' buggy- I choose Masami's 89 IFMAR 'worlds' Dog Fighter 4x2 chassis

Are there any pics available of these?

You win :)

I thought it was naked chassis only lol? Oh well, in that case, the single most sexy RC buggy ever drawn up, is in fact the OOB Tamiya Dynastorm for me.
Ill own one and run it someday, its a classic 2wd design, so elegant and typically Tamiya.

Sorry....had to stick my oar in...

My Top Force Evo...Impressive numbers INDEED:lol:

Don't you just love those nonsensical Tamiya phrases...Barf'n Berry!?!

Theres no denying, it is SEXYTIME is the Evo.....now theres a wing slogan for Tamiya lol.

lee

You guys are all soft in the head :p

How about the Kyosho Javelin?

I have to agree the Topforce Evo is a great looking car, im unsure if the Evo or original Avante gets my vote

For me my top 5 would have to be;
1 tamiya avante
2 schumacher cat xls
3 kyosho turbo optima mid
4 tamiya egress
5 associated rc10 gold pan

and for scale looks i don't think you can beat the tamiya sand scorcher and sand rover.

i still like the look of this car and drove well in its time.:woot:

1 for the XLS

but i do luv the BIGWIG

a little piece of my childhood arrived yesterday:

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps5bbeb099.jpg

it's mint. my dilemma now is whether to install electrics & take it vintage racing, or keep it as a 'shelf queen'. I do have another super astute in bits with a tatty shell waiting to be put back together...

Hi Guys,

My first post on oOple:blush: For those that know me (BORMAC and Cats) For me the Cat XLS is just porn on wheels.

DanB4, Sadly the box art XLS is now in a private collection in Hong Kong!:cry:

I love this thread!:wub

ARRGGGGGHHHHH!! PURE PORN!!! :drool:

Looks identical to mine ;)

Cool to see it has arrived safe and sound! :) I understand your dilemma... You have another Super Astute... Why not restore that to a 'race-ready' condition (As it's already a used car)? I'm sure you'll find a way to race one of them!

Origineelreclamebord - Got to admit that your DynaStorm is one sexy 2wd!!

Without a shell, its got to be a toss up between an original carbon tubbed Predator, Schumacher Bosscat Works..... or any 1/8th On-road Nitro car (Serpent or BMT etc) Basically the more technical the chassis looks with carbon & anodised alloy parts the better!

For cars with a bodyshell, I have a soft-spot for the JRXPro with the box art paint scheme;

And - maybe i'm a little biased, but I love the look of any Works91->on YZ-10 (with the 'squashed bug' design shell) ;)

Dynastorm...

sorry for pic size :wub

Sweet looking example Lonestar! :)

I couldn't agree more johnny.

I mean that toy cooker in the corner there is a beautiful piece of kit!

;)

off road i would say tenth tech predator and pretty much any of them

on road tho
got to be the yokomo yrf2

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ecial1rh6.jpg/

ahahah you right; that cooker is the best kit of my whole collection :D

Actually you are very fortunate to have both intruders...I'm finding it difficult to find parts to complete mine!

What is going on! I'll post this for the Old Skool boys...

The CAT XLS is nice and Origineelreclamebord’s Dyna is sex! also the TRF211x is close, But.....................

..................I’m going to forgive you young guns for totally losing the plot and overlooking the BEST ever LOOKING RC Cars bar none, period....... Metal is wood ;-)
No. 1 The holy grail of lookers....

No. 2 The overlooked racer/looker....
Attachment 42965

No. 3 No racer but good looks....
Attachment 42966

No idea to who these photo gems belong to (nicked them off Google but please own up?) but if you want us to delete them... you’re mad!

Great memories,
Steve.

That collection is utterly jaw dropping , i remember reading the review on the original cat swb and it looked the exact same as that.

For me it has to be the Dyna Storm as well, I thought it was going to be a unique choice when I saw the thread title... but hey, I guess lots of ppl like it too :)

Close runner ups, or winners depending on how I am feeling are:

Original RC10

Traxxas TRX-1

Tamiya Sand Scorcher

My favourite looking car is the Avante. I have a rere Avante still boxed and a Black Special built.

I also have this which is another favourite. To be honest this isn't an Egress it's a heavily modded Vajra!

I want a nice YZ10 next.

I can't beleive no one said anything about this car....

Beautiful :) I'm lucky enough to have one that looks just like this :drool: angle of the pic I took is slightly different, will need to do another.

I think I need to raise the rear wing now that I look at it.

Rude to overlook the Optima Mid.

This is mine. Probably not pleasing to the pure vintage types but I like to pimp ;) my restorations :)

Another OPTIMA MID
 

Dont Forget this one too

Missing the bumper mate!
