Most Desired Shelf Queen ?
 

Following on from the hall of fame thing on the Gadget show between the lunch box and rough rider, if you could have any R/C car in mint condition as a shelf queen what would it be?

Durango DEX410 :thumbsup:

Another tamiya egress, had one but wasn't a shelf queen.

Sexy!!! :woot:

Anyone got any idea if there will be a re-release of the Sand Scorcher? (since they already did the Rough Rider)

One of my own babies:

No rumours as yet but its bound to happen. The value of my two plummeted 3 weeks after i bought them due to the Re Re of the Rough Rider :lol:

Ive got a few shelf queens feel free to see my showroom via the bottom link folks. Currently restoring a few more too :thumbsup:

Cool :thumbsup:

I`d like the Schumacher CAT XLS but im stopping myself from starting on the Schueys as im weak and would start buying em all :woot:

:wub

Mine would be a Kyosho Rocky. My first rc car and still think they're awesome.

Here you go Phil - a bit of you this :)

cat xls or a top cat

shelf queen
 

for me it would have to be the very first edition of the pred. :thumbsup:

Egress for me. Well ahead of it's time. Guy who started our club had one and it was sex on a stick.

my super champ currently being restored:thumbsup:

for me it would be a kyosho optima i had one as a shelf queen once wish i d still got it but it did hurt when i sold it or a pb mini mustang i would love to own one of them again

I'd really like one of the Tamiya 1/12 959's or Celicas. I always wanted one back in the day, it was just such a neat piece of engineering.
But I don't do shelf queens. Cars have to run, or they end up in the loft. I have no shelf space for mere ornaments.

Anyone got a PB Ace? That was quite a thing. A long time ago..:lol:

I can get my hands on an mint cat xls but then i have to trade it for my famous RC 10 L from -WC 96 1/11 smaller then an standard RC10L and just made for that wc.

jamie booth's manta ray/ top force hybrid - with the hi cap dampers, carbon fibre chassis and trick parts.

nice.

Having only been in this hobby for afew years, and not being a fan of the old Tamiyas at all, id have to say the Atomic Carbon S2.
IMO it is a beautiful car.

Mauri ninja or a pb mini mustang for me:thumbsup:. Ninja just because i loved the way they looked so agressive and the mustang because they were the nuts!!

I would'nt mind a 4WD RC10 MIP, one of the last RC10 Graphite (with a differently shaped chassis and black plastics) or the Egress of Jamie Booth, with proto arms :drool:

I'm with Raphael there MIP 4-10, brilliant!!

Though a nice collection of Atomic Carbon cars is like R/C porn for me:blush:

The 4WD MIP kit is for sale

Yokomo YZ10 or MX4 - YMP Edition :thumbsup:

Well i sold my flat CF chassi MIP RC10 even though its one of my favourite designed cars. But hands down for me is the car i still drive, the Lazer ZX-S with the CF rear gearbox which is a work of art.

Schumacher short wheel base CAT:wub

There are so many cars listed on this thread that I have never seen or heard of before lol

Hit this addy for a great car that i would probably KILL to own. And a very good car

Ahh, the age old question of which one- LOL! I have so many favourites. The electric off road evolution has gone from strength to strength and many weird and wonderful designs along the way.
I personaly like vintage racers, but not afraid to like some of the fun cars made by tamiya, marui etc... either.
My fav......maybe the Topcat, original Optima but by far the coolest shelfer to own is a car that was entered into major events like WORLD titles or something. Even though you may not have driven the car yourself its a rare thing to own a car that has actualy raced in such a historic event.
I have a Procat and Topcat entered into the 89 and 91 off road worlds.

Yeah, but first I need one of Bill Gates' credit cards...

:wtf::wtf::wtf::cry:
How about the Hirobo Jealousy, alloy arms, 300 kits ever made in the 80s. :drool::drool::drool:

There was a Nija on ebay a few weeks ago, went for less than 40 quid! was mint. I was at work so I missed it..I always miss the cheep ones:lol::cry:.

For me it has to be the first cat (the short one) optima, optima turbo, optima pro then hotshot,then a gold tub RC10 with MIP 4wd convertion:drool::drool:. hmmmmm dream

After watching Jamie Booth win a BRCA round at Southend many moons ago, I agree with a few in this thread my shelf queen would be a Tamiya Egress....

My second shelf queen would be a optima turbo SE, I did run an original lazer from the early 90's, but I always wanted a SE.

I had a CAT XLS, ProCat, TopCat, Cougar and a Fireblade all mint condition. Also had a NIB BossCat Works but sold the lot.

Another vote for the CAT XLS (must have those chrome wheels) :drool:

Mine is currently being restored, still a few bits missing :rolleyes:

Tamiya Sand Rover, basic and more arse-end out fun (no diff see) than an SC10. My first RC so has strong sentimental attachment.

would love an old tamiya hilux, get all that alloy polished up nicely, the live axles are ace. i have an old optima which i intend to restore, plus a few other cars too, optima mid, pb ace, carbon ultima, yoko works91 plus others. one day i might get round to it.

Sold my PB Ace to Nova. Probably should have asked for more by the sound of things:)
Like I said, I'm not really a collector. I love the old cars, but I want to run, and even race them.
Bought an old RC10T off here and will be racing in Burys indoor series. I'll struggle to break it anyway, but I know I can get parts.
I knew if I broke the Ace that was the end of it, so wouldn't run it. And to me thats no fun....

You know....I have a Bruiser which has seen very very little use. Perhaps this might interest you....a trade perhaps? Hmm
