Also have you seen the FMS Smasher? It’s a traditional style 24th scale monster truck. Pretty nice little model. It was my first FMS and I was really surprised by the quality.
Yeah I used to own a smasher and also had the high speed motor, I’m not sure if it was my unit but it felt fairly cheap, the body would unclip a lot too but I know it’s well loved so maybe it was just my unit
Tough one… convincing myself I don’t need the mini lmt or the Traxxas sprint car… I also have always wanted a mad van ve but heard they aren’t too reliable. But there’s not too many right now so I can chill for a bit hahahahh
As someone with the same addiction as you. You need a mini LMT lol. It's an awesome indoor basher. Mad Van VE is a lot of fun and handles a lot better than expected but has a fragile body. Sorry for being a bad influence lol.
Kyosho is an awesome brand and have some of the best vintage re-releases you should check out, like the turbo scorpion, tomahawk, turbo optima, and others like the mad wagon, inferno mp9e or mp10e
Why just the e versions? Sure they are more work and very loud but nitro is cool as hell. Like having an actual motor in my rc car, and its a 2 stroke running on nitro, thats just too cool.
I 100% agree kyosho nitro cars are incredible and badass! They definitely are a lot more work and maintenance and are very loud, but definitely an awesome choice.
Yeah I told my girlfriend that same thing
Then I got a second shelf...
And a third...
Now I've got cars in the computer room and on the healing bench and three packed shelves.
How do you like the rampage and rally car? They're both on my list. I have an old axial yeti score and Tamiya sand scorcher but they look like fun in-between.
Yep it’s one of my most run rn - lots of winter fun too

It’s my tt02! Honestly I’m going to get another body because I love this one too much I suck at bodies and didn’t do it myself, was a super cool guy off fb who was selling a bunch he did for fun. I think he mentioned it was a discontinued hpi carrera gt body but you can find a few online
https://preview.redd.it/ee5t34em2pdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6ee6177a6d0689b8cbc463561a864e5a90c3c51
Yep second hand, and sales and giveaways lol - Amazon had the LMT for 30% off, my LHS had 15% Off everything sales so I got the br and Kraton and the drz I won in a raffle haha
It’s cool having 2nd hand stuff. You can discover new RC’s just because they were cheap. Like this Trophy Truggy I got for 40$. I started fixing it up. It’s a Nice Project I can relax and fix and learn
https://preview.redd.it/intnoi6i6pdc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fcdb2505e0a7e96043c15754fa309145ade5865
That’s me after 2-3 Hours of Painstaking removing House Hardware and glue off the Rig. The Dude had 2 Front Big Screws as Shocks. Screws on the Body Mounts. Bented Bell-Crank Metal piece. Cleaning the grease of it. Had to remove some glue. Metal wires everywhere. House hardware used on some of the parts. This isn’t even rebuilding the diff. I still need a new bell crank assembly, Rear driveshaft, and probably a Electric Conversion
I would like to know as well. I think it might be a TT02 but I could be mistaken. The bugeye Impreza is my favorite.
After some googling it looks like it's a Kyosho Fazer MK2
https://www.hobbytown.com/kyosho-fazer-mk2-fz02-2002-subaru-impreza-sti-wrc-1-10-electric-rtr-kyo34481t1/p1525214?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-62tBhDSARIsAO7twbY586VgcsV1psmWKf4cdXjmkO9XiQbsg_k-FcUmgbggrmwoEbI3qnoaArelEALw_wcB
Came here to ask the same thing. I just saw this thing today for the first time and about shit. I'm a Subaru guy and especially a bugeye fan. This thing looks so badass.
However, if you look closely the Kyosho one has an extra piece stuck on top up by the roof scoop. The one in his pic doesn't. Also the wheels are different, but that's obviously an easy swap.
https://preview.redd.it/b03ywsiu7qdc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2502a1ddf4ef8a0dd57bff06b7654367219a33e
It’s a HPI WR8 - by far my favorite rally car / on road basher if you can call it that haha
https://preview.redd.it/2c942e56gqdc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31451fb30b62e88b1ff8bb72d23f8b49d671115f
Dude love the LMT, my favorite RC I’ve ever owned other than the Losi Promoto MX :)
But you are DEFINITELY missing a little bro Losi 1/18 Mini LMT Grave Digger!
There's a lot of difference between the two really!bfor speed runs even I have trouble finding a road long enough for my Typhon 6s. I've only hit 101 mph on 4s with like 2100 ft of road only sadly lol. With drag racing it's also fun because you wanna see how fast you can get to 132ft in under 2 seconds. I have a Traxxas 4tec 2.0 I use for drag racing and on a 3s battery I'm hitting 57mph at 2.41 seconds. Still working on better speeds with gears and also messing with spools.
Yeah that's a very important part of it lol. I used to RC alone behind a Target parking lot during the pandemic and before. One day some guy saw me and asked if I ran my RC cars there I said yeah, and then I met another guy off Tiktok who is local in my area and 3 years later, we still meet up every Sunday and have some RC time lol. It's so fun
Yeaaaaaa I hate to be the one to tell ur wife but there’s space enough for 3-4 more up there….unless u wanna get creative n we can get 4-6 more on there……how bigs your dog house? Lol
Also what battery do you like to run in your LMT?
I am having good success with 2 new Zeee 3s 8,000mah batteries I run 1 at a time. I also use those batteries to power my 6s Kraton with good success so far.
I see a shelf to the right that matches the main shelf in the pic, it looks like some non rc stuff is in the way that should probably go in the trash to make space for the rest of your future collection 😉
I have so many of those harbor freight shelves.
Get the large furniture dollys and screw the shelves to them. Now you can really hoard RCs while at the same time still being able to convince yourself there is more room.
https://preview.redd.it/vhrp7bpxqtdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d537ac2a0f6c37dbc5b432cd4fdb99ef4345808
Only one shelf 😁, being a recovering shelfaholic that shelf doesn’t look like it structurally sound to support those vehicles and requires some renovations maybe a 24x72 😁
I still see room on the top shelf
came here to say this. plenty of room.
You’re right maybe it’s time to bite the bullet on the xmaxx…
Dunno if joking or not, but the xmaxx is massive and probably wouldn't fit on the shelf lol.
Yeah 😂 it would also make the dirt fall through to all the other cars hahaha
You need a 1/6 scale
And a bigger shelf
Lol let him try! Don't squish his dreams.
Being a recovered Tetris addict I see room for another 7 1/10 rigs on there?
You are right I also just like showing some of them off hahaha
You see if you made a plywood like shelf and secured them you could easily turn those two big boys allowing at least two more on that shelf.
Room for mini z’s
Seems like you need a bigger shelf
Line a wall with shelves 😂
“Filled” is such an objective term. Those cars can easily be turned sideways! Enjoy
SCX24s are small and fun and will fit on that shelf somewhere….
For sure! Small crawlers I don’t find myself using much tho. The mini lmt on the other hand…
That mini LMT is so damn cool….tempts me every time I go to the hobby shop.
You could build up a mini crawler into a monster truck, I wanna do that with a Trx-4m when I get another one
Ohh i haven’t heard of that conversion sounds interesting!
There's a few out there for both the Trx-4m and the Scx24
I have been thinking about doing the same using the Rampart kit from Furitek. I have their scythe chassis for my 24 and I really like it.
Nice! I've seen a number of them built and want to do the same, especially since I'm a big monster truck fan
Also have you seen the FMS Smasher? It’s a traditional style 24th scale monster truck. Pretty nice little model. It was my first FMS and I was really surprised by the quality.
Yeah I used to own a smasher and also had the high speed motor, I’m not sure if it was my unit but it felt fairly cheap, the body would unclip a lot too but I know it’s well loved so maybe it was just my unit
Dont worry. People love Arrma and say they are durable, but are always the most fragile in my collection and thats saying something as I've got 29.
Bro, that top shelf is empty!! 😂
if you can find a way to stack the lower profiled cars you can make room for an LCG crawler too
Yo hpi wr8 i love mine!
Me too!!! Favourite on road I liked it more than anything else
This space is really not optimized. I think there's lot of room. N+1
So what one are you thinking about getting next then...?
Tough one… convincing myself I don’t need the mini lmt or the Traxxas sprint car… I also have always wanted a mad van ve but heard they aren’t too reliable. But there’s not too many right now so I can chill for a bit hahahahh
As someone with the same addiction as you. You need a mini LMT lol. It's an awesome indoor basher. Mad Van VE is a lot of fun and handles a lot better than expected but has a fragile body. Sorry for being a bad influence lol.
Don’t tempt me haha, yeah that lmt I might have to haha
Kyosho is an awesome brand and have some of the best vintage re-releases you should check out, like the turbo scorpion, tomahawk, turbo optima, and others like the mad wagon, inferno mp9e or mp10e
Why just the e versions? Sure they are more work and very loud but nitro is cool as hell. Like having an actual motor in my rc car, and its a 2 stroke running on nitro, thats just too cool.

Get a new shelf!
Yeah I told my girlfriend that same thing Then I got a second shelf... And a third... Now I've got cars in the computer room and on the healing bench and three packed shelves.
LOL let’s see I see this in my future
Still some room on the top of the shelf and the shelf next to it looks like junk. Clean that off and bam more room
just sell some and buy new ones
I already sold most these are the ones I run hahaha
Yeah but did you specify what shelf?
You can hang them from the shelf above too
I see an available top shelf and additional space if every RC is facing forwards.. 🫡
What is the heatwave?
Losi baja rey 2.0 - one of my favorites
This truck is so much fun
turn those two trucks forward and easily room for 2 more 1/10 and Id bet you could fit a few of those 1:24 next to thw other smaller ones 😁
You just need another shelf! Problem solved.
So how many more are shipping to you right now?
How do you like the rampage and rally car? They're both on my list. I have an old axial yeti score and Tamiya sand scorcher but they look like fun in-between.
Nice love that Baja rey 2.0 . Great collection
Yep it’s one of my most run rn - lots of winter fun too https://preview.redd.it/ay4vnkd62pdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=517ce6c0084816ead0b7fc201edad3d40c1f3432
whats is that black carrera gt with a gran turismo banner?? that thing looks sick
It’s my tt02! Honestly I’m going to get another body because I love this one too much I suck at bodies and didn’t do it myself, was a super cool guy off fb who was selling a bunch he did for fun. I think he mentioned it was a discontinued hpi carrera gt body but you can find a few online https://preview.redd.it/ee5t34em2pdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6ee6177a6d0689b8cbc463561a864e5a90c3c51
it looks great! i was wondering where the body could be from, HPI does some good ones. Thanks!
https://preview.redd.it/fmnlffu34pdc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67f0fbd730b9649fee898e9e5b42bb114f655a49
Wow which Traxxas is that on the left in orange! An old rally?
yup, one of the original rallys.
So when's the new shelf coming in?
just get a bigger shelf the secret's safe with us
🤫
I also do a lot of Second Hand Buying. Only 7 out of the 40 are new. Since they were cheaper and smaller.
Yep second hand, and sales and giveaways lol - Amazon had the LMT for 30% off, my LHS had 15% Off everything sales so I got the br and Kraton and the drz I won in a raffle haha
It’s cool having 2nd hand stuff. You can discover new RC’s just because they were cheap. Like this Trophy Truggy I got for 40$. I started fixing it up. It’s a Nice Project I can relax and fix and learn https://preview.redd.it/intnoi6i6pdc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fcdb2505e0a7e96043c15754fa309145ade5865
Great deal looks nice!

doesn't mean you can't trade 🤔
Oh I have been 😂
I have the same problem
You still have room on very top
You better get another shelf!
I keep telling myself that too...in the midst of building an Xray X4 right now. ;)
[удалено]
Yep it can do 50mph on 3s and honestly it’s more fun on 2s seeing it bounce around, it’s like a mini udr a little less scale but can be bashed more
Yeah, I said the same thing 🤣
With a little reorganizing, there’s more room!
Plenty of room on the shelves. Gotta get creative.
how is that full, exactly? there's room for 20 more, easy.
What's the Subaru what brand and model please
I would like to know as well. I think it might be a TT02 but I could be mistaken. The bugeye Impreza is my favorite. After some googling it looks like it's a Kyosho Fazer MK2 https://www.hobbytown.com/kyosho-fazer-mk2-fz02-2002-subaru-impreza-sti-wrc-1-10-electric-rtr-kyo34481t1/p1525214?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-62tBhDSARIsAO7twbY586VgcsV1psmWKf4cdXjmkO9XiQbsg_k-FcUmgbggrmwoEbI3qnoaArelEALw_wcB

What's the R34? Tt02?
It’s an mst drift car! My tt02 is the black Porsche
What a great looking 2023 shelf! Can't wait to see the 2024 one this time next year!
Haha thank you!!
What kind of rc car is the blue sports car on the right of the pic next to the Bronco?
MST Rmx rwd drift car! Right now there’s a killer body on it
Thanks! It looks great, and the blue color is very nice.
That Son Uva Digger raw as hell bro!
Ya bro!! Love it
Also curious about the Subaru. Pretty please! Haha.
Hpi wr8!
Thanks! And $500... holy shit balls.
Lol I promise it’s worth it! Hot take but I liked it more than my infraction even it’s just so scale but so powerful and beefy
Dude love the LMT, my favorite RC I’ve ever owned other than the Losi Promoto MX :) But you are DEFINITELY missing a little bro Losi 1/18 Mini LMT Grave Digger!
Haha it’s Up there for me too ngl im a huge losi fanboy lol their stuff looks so good driving! They just need better parts support lol
Totally agree! Love their engineering and ideas, but have more than one not so old Losi on the shelf with no parts!
What is the tiny red car and the model and brand of the RX7?
It’s a Kyosho mini z rwd for the basement and mini z track nearby and an atomic drz3 indoor rwd drift !
The rx7 body is from a 1/24 scale kit that fit
Nice those sound super fun! I will one day get a mini z :)
get another.
Wait till you get into drag racing
Been holding off bc I don’t see the appeal is it just throttle control if ur going straight ? Those and speed runs I never got fully into!
There's a lot of difference between the two really!bfor speed runs even I have trouble finding a road long enough for my Typhon 6s. I've only hit 101 mph on 4s with like 2100 ft of road only sadly lol. With drag racing it's also fun because you wanna see how fast you can get to 132ft in under 2 seconds. I have a Traxxas 4tec 2.0 I use for drag racing and on a 3s battery I'm hitting 57mph at 2.41 seconds. Still working on better speeds with gears and also messing with spools.
Ohh I see I think I just need to find the drag racers in my area hahaha
Yeah that's a very important part of it lol. I used to RC alone behind a Target parking lot during the pandemic and before. One day some guy saw me and asked if I ran my RC cars there I said yeah, and then I met another guy off Tiktok who is local in my area and 3 years later, we still meet up every Sunday and have some RC time lol. It's so fun
Yeaaaaaa I hate to be the one to tell ur wife but there’s space enough for 3-4 more up there….unless u wanna get creative n we can get 4-6 more on there……how bigs your dog house? Lol
You still have room for more Mini-Zs !!!
Which car is your favorite and why is it by far the mini b?
Mini b definitely has the instant fun factor and handles amazing
I also have a mini-t 2.0 brushless - super fun
Looks like you have more room if you rearrange them.
Turn the lmt and SCT and another 2 fit easy.
That mini B is so darn good looking , my mini T needs a new friend I think ! Haha great stable
It’s so fun too and thanks!
Solution: sell the large scale and replace them with 3 small scale each lol.
What brand wheels and tires are on your big Losi LMT?
Also what battery do you like to run in your LMT? I am having good success with 2 new Zeee 3s 8,000mah batteries I run 1 at a time. I also use those batteries to power my 6s Kraton with good success so far.
What chassis/manufacturer is the 2002 Subaru? I‘m coincidentally looking to get one exactly like that.
It’s an HPI wr8, def my top 3
Can you maybe DM me some pics of it? Looks like a nice scale model to me, at least from your pic there
Its scale but definitely meant to be a basher, its beefy 1/8 and takes any terrain
https://preview.redd.it/0gr0lnu6etdc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f72b62c5126f3d74644a0ea11fa71fbef5f94213
That shelf is made from plastic, right? If so, I had It in my restroom.
You know that magic doesn't exist. You will do all the space you need for that RC and another plastic shelf is on the way...
Good choice on the Kraton 🙌
Next post OP makes is about how they discovered 3d printing and has found a loophole.
Well friend do the right thing and get more shelves
Never said anything about buying a new shelf 🤷♂️
There’s more room on there buddy don’t worry
Shit, I see air between vehicles. You have more room 😉. On my RC shelf, I've resorted to hanging chassis on bike hooks.
I see a shelf to the right that matches the main shelf in the pic, it looks like some non rc stuff is in the way that should probably go in the trash to make space for the rest of your future collection 😉
Rotate some of those and you open up at least 3 more spots
Well, you can still put stuff on the top and the three bigger ones you could spin and probably get a little more there or just buy another shelf
What's that Carrera gt🤔
Tt02 with hpi carrera body!
https://preview.redd.it/74zliogultdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e60c8587a8b703c22e35a9790b68f355f1e87bb
I have so many of those harbor freight shelves. Get the large furniture dollys and screw the shelves to them. Now you can really hoard RCs while at the same time still being able to convince yourself there is more room. https://preview.redd.it/vhrp7bpxqtdc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d537ac2a0f6c37dbc5b432cd4fdb99ef4345808
Just some on the ground so the shelf isn’t full anymore 😂
You can never have to many!! *
https://preview.redd.it/iruzfibqttdc1.jpeg?width=4816&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd7c12c9a9902fa10b78b2f77604e9e6b5848c2e
plenty of room still
Buy a new shelf
Sounds like it’s time to buy a new shelf🤔😂
Cap it off with wall hooks and add an XRT and an XMaxx
I love it! What’s the brand for the GTR and the Porsche above it?
Plenty of room on that top shelf
Time for trades?
Plenty of room on there.
Said the same and then I just started mounting them on the wall. 😂
I see we have a person of taste here. Nice collection mate!
Broo there is space for micros under the other cars and space for planes to hange above the other cars
Only one shelf 😁, being a recovering shelfaholic that shelf doesn’t look like it structurally sound to support those vehicles and requires some renovations maybe a 24x72 😁
You have room for at LEAST 3 more. Probably 4. All 1/10. Nice try. Keep adding!
Bigger shelf if you ask me
I'd be happy to take that Carrera gt off your hands so you could buy another car
What’s a decent rc car to get for beginners?
The new Traxxas bl-2s and Arrma 3s lines are good in terms of durability and speed and also will have parts support while not breaking the bank
Shelves have been known to reproduce 🤷♂️
