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

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

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!)

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.

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 Except the haircut

Other very good all round racers : Pavidis, Johnson

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

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...
