[franki]

I think we all have an RC car that we wish we had never sold ??? i know i had two !!!!

I bought an X10 in an auction on the-pred.co.uk i should have never of sold that !!!!

I also had a xx4 that was full of all the bits that was mint !!!!

any one else regret selling any RC cars ????

[footey]

all the preds i ever owned :( i love them cars

[Jamie.T]

Mine was a mint Yokomo Mr4bx. Sold it before ever really trying it.

[Team No Idea]

all the preds i ever owned :( i love them cars

Yup, my 1st race car was an XRS predator and i sold it when i got an X10, since then ive kept all the cars that i raced, wish i'd hung to to the XRS to complete my collection!:cry:

[jim76]

Bosscat for me. Loved that car.

[Dudders]

My old Lazer ZXR when I gave up racing in 1994. Need it for the house deposit :cry:

[mikeyscott]

My Cougar SV that Hornsey purchased from me..

[makinwaves]

Mint ProCat to buy a TC3. Oh the shame.....:blush::cry:

[Mr Eccleston]

Going back a bit, but mine was a Optima Mid.

[ian h]

My Cougar SV that Hornsey purchased from me..

He's just bought a new one, maybe you could get it back!

[mikeyscott]

He's just bought a new one, maybe you could get it back!

As it was with everything that was one it....

[RogerM]

For me it would be a tough call between my Optima Mid Custom Special and my Lazer ZX ... had to sell both when my father passed away as I had to stop racing.

(My Egress arrived in the shop the day after my dad died ... I never even got to hold the box)

[AmiSMB]

My original Kyosho 4wd chain driven Optima

[Nick Goodall]

My old Losi XX Kinwald Edition, I remember being so excited about it with all the Graphite and pretty blue parts! They even painted all the springs blue to match and it just looked awesome!

[mikeyscott]

My old Losi XX Kinwald Edition, I remember being so excited about it with all the Graphite and pretty blue parts! They even painted all the springs blue to match and it just looked awesome!

Thinking about it I'd agree with that, my orignal XX which I sold for beer money for Uni.. Think I got shot of it for £40 for a night out lol

[wacattack]

My B2. I didnt get rid of it as such. When I quit in April 1997 I leant it to Craig to run in a 1 off meeting. Apparantly it absolutely poured it down on a grass track. Needless to say it was caked in mud and when he got home he agreed to strip it down and rebuild it. 10 years later it was still partially stripped down with mud from 10 years previous. It went in the bin as most of the parts had disappeared.

[Matthew Moore]

My old Losi XX Kinwald Edition, I remember being so excited about it with all the Graphite and pretty blue parts! They even painted all the springs blue to match and it just looked awesome!

Good call nick! I really liked my XX I have a magazine with me you n Neil on the front from a juniors meeting, we all had xx's if I remember right?

For me, I wish I still had my original procat... Brand new and fresh into racing it was awesome! The vintage section on here makes me miss my old cars more... All my kit can be classed as vintage and now collectable.

[Adam F]

My cat swb... just got lost when we moved house... didnt even get to sell it...

[DragonRider]

I would have to say my Tamiya Top Force Evolution

[Robbiejuk]

My old Losi XX Kinwald Edition, I remember being so excited about it with all the Graphite and pretty blue parts! They even painted all the springs blue to match and it just looked awesome!

I still have mine :thumbsup:

I think the one I regret selling the most was my Mardave Cobra TQ, my first car I ever raced properly with and it did me proud :(

[JBL]

Two buggies for me a Tamiya Egress and a Procat SE. Can't afford a good second hand Egress.

Buggies I was pleased about getting rid of was my Tamiya frog and Tamiya Terrascorcher...

[bigred5765]

my tamiya manta ray once owned buy Jamie booth, and my cat2000 once owned buy Craig drescher, my original holiday buggy from when i was a kid

[MHeadling]

Cougar Club 10 and Cougar 2000, first proper race cars as a kid.

Just recently my Pred X11 :-(

[Jamesk]

I miss my Egress, one of the best looking buggies ever and huge fun to drive (Glad i kept my Top Force Evo thou)
I missed a NIB Dyna Storm on ebay that went for £250 last night, still kicking myself.

jK

[Andrew Twigger]

Predator ETQ :D

[Nick Goodall]

Hahah I've got that mag too somewhere, Model Cars wasn't it!

The XX was a great car, think i had the standard one, then the XX "CR" which was then turned back to a standard car then the Kinwald one which was just lovely, remember all the nice Trinity blue bits like the battery bars, transmission braces and washers etc - Looked so good at the time haha. I always loved Kevin moore's trick of running the standard Losi wheels but with Rear discs on the front so the front wheels looked smooth....

So many memories haha.

Procat sounds awesome though, they were just coming to the end when i started and it was all Bosscats then Cat 2000's.

I sort of wish I'd kept my Pred too actually, it got my best ever result and then Lee bought it off us and went on to win the F2's with it which was good for him at the time believe it or not :D

[i4n]

Not so much sold, more "rather I hadn't left it in my parents loft when I left home to find out my Dad threw it away 2 weeks later" was my original release Tamiya Astute, would love to be running that in the vintage classes now :cry:

[Jamesk]

I have two Astute's in my parents loft, must retrive them soon, i wonder what else i have up there??

jK

[gainsy]

Has to be my optima mid, my dad sent it to my uncles racing team in germany to have a carbon fibre tub chassis made for it, swapped it for a kx125 when i got into motocross :(
Anyone got my optima?

[Welshy40]

The very first lazer zx / zxr tub chassis ever made attached to one of my cars. Gutted as it was the first and had cell holes in as well and as the molds been misplaced i cant easily have it made again.

[DerbyDan]

Another Losi XX regretably sold here too :cry: Mine was an original spec XX with the Hydradrive etc.. but it gradually gained various upgrades & was converted to 'CR' spec. It was whilst I raced this car that I improved the most ability-wise - expanding my racing solely club level to eventually competing a nationals.

I sold the car to who I thought was a trustworthy club member who I let have the car having only paid 1/2 the agreed price on the promise that the rest would be paid soon afterwards..... that was the last time we saw that club member - & my beloved Losi :confused:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/DerbyDan/LosiXXunderbody.jpg

[Northy]

I have a Losi XX hung on the wall in the garage that has a shell on it that I recognise but don't know who's it was if that makes sense? It came off the bay.

I'll try and grab a picture of it, it might have belonged to someone on here! :woot:

[Chrislong]

I loved my Losi XXX BK2, bought off Tony Bishop, didn't get my best result with it but my average result was best it had ever been - it was standard, none of the team mods that were being used at that time, I did try them all but didn't like. Then when I changed to the X-6, it was a massive leap backwards initially as it was totally new, but even when we knew setups and ran 4 gear transmission I never got my average result back.... despite getting my single best result with the X-6 I always missed the BK2.

[isobarik]

My Graphite RC10 Team car miss it......:blush:

mvh isobarik

[tmaxxlosixxx]

i had a cobra tq wish i neva sold and a cougar 2000 wish id kept now

[mattybucks]

Matt Needhams procat, it was awesome.

[GRIFF55]

My tamiya bigwig and graphite ultima are the cars I'd like back. Ultima ran with a White mauri ninja shell

[jon kedge]

For me it was my t4 truck from associated,purchased all things to make it a factory team and mip shiny cvd's,sold on e-bay went to italy,regretted ever since.getting back into stadium trucks again now(see interested link in losi forum.

[Belsten]

All my Yokes, I had them all and its costing me a bloody fortune trying to replace them :cry:

[kayce]

Carbon fiber Team Associated RC12i :thumbsup:

[Mike Parker]

All my Yokes, I had them all and its costing me a bloody fortune trying to replace them :cry:

Yep same here mate, went from the Dogfighter 834? through to the works 91 - 93 - YZ10, and got kitted out with an MR4BX when I started back doing 10th offroad back in 2007....

Wished I'd kept all 5 now!! :cry:

i have an original XX in the my shed, complete with hydradrive the lot!! Even has one of those huge nylon wings that were the rage!

awesome car in it's day, really kicked the rc10 alloy tub in its place

[Belsten]

Yup for me it was the 870c, 91, 92, 93, YZ10 then XX4 & Pred then Cat 98 I think, then gave up

Cant get the 91-93's for love nor money now though, never even seen a 92 for sale :cry:

[showtime]

i kinda wish i still had my Serpent Veteq. very nice kit :thumbsup:

[john333]

Corrally / Accociated RC12i for me, from around 1989/90. Went all the way from F3 to F1 at the 1/12th scale nationals over 2 seasons without breaking or even adjusting it!

Chucked my dummy out the pram and retired from 1/12th when I got onto the top heat at Nantwich national and got lapped 4 times by the late great Phil Davies!

Back in them days you HAD to be a team driver to get the good motors and cells to compete, we are lucky now that off the shelf stuff is all ballistic!

[john333]

double post, sorry

[jimmy]

I sold my Tamiya bruiser for £400 which I miss.

I sold my near mint Tamiya rough rider (pre-rerelease) for £400 which I really regretted at the time as it was lovely.

I sold a brand new built and never run CAT XLS with a new original shell (it had a painted one too) for a mere £150!!!! a couple of years ago, which was a bit mental.

I regret selling my Tamiya Durga DB01 as it was the car I got my F2 with - dogbones all round!

Lastly I sold one of my greatest ever new-in-box kits - another unbuilt CAT XLS. Which I feel pretty bad about as I could never ever afford another one or justify it.

[CAT3K]

I sold my original Cougar about 10 years ago, one of these days i'll hopefully spot it on ebay and return it home...

My other regret was my optima mid, it "was" at my parents, and when i asked where it was they told me they'd binned it years ago during a clearout... i cried a little inside :cry:

[styleone]

Firstly my Atomic Carbon CR2 SE...:( It went to a really good home but damn I miss that thing...secondly my Cat SX...When I was a kid and racing Tamiya everybody wanted a Cat...I grew up, could afford one and bought it as my 'coming back to the sport' buggy...its gone now and I wish I 'd have kept it just for nostalgias sake...I try not to get too attached to material things but RC is a cruel mistress :p;)

[h0m3sy]

He's just bought a new one, maybe you could get it back!

Sorry Mike, no chance of getting it back, going for an all out assault on the Irish Championships this season. I love that car :wub:wub:wub

[mikeyscott]

Sorry Mike, no chance of getting it back, going for an all out assault on the Irish Championships this season. I love that car :wub:wub:wub

I wish I'd never sold it to you, you've got to admit a good spec car and in vgc ;)

[h0m3sy]

Can't argue with that mate, really good deal it was. We start our Indoor Championship this Sunday and the Cougar shall be going all guns blazing.:thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

:( :( :cry:

At least it's been raced proper and so forth.

Ah well - good luck :)

Get some pics up in the Schumacher section..

As for this topic. Another car I wish I'd kept, the Schumacher ProCat I purchased from Chris Wilko from Solent Models.

[h0m3sy]

To be quite honest I wish I'd kept all my old cars, my first ever car was a Kyosho Raider, then I had a Lazer ZX, then it was an Optima Mid Custom Special. My first Schumacher car was a Top Cat then a Pro Cat, I flirted with 1/8th scale nitro after that with a Turbo Burns and a Mugen Super Sport. I loved all these cars.:cry:

[mtbd500]

My new in box yokomo mr4bx that I found reduced in a model shop to £149.99. I wish they would rerelease it as an mr4bx worlds lipo edition with big bore x shocks. I may just take out a bank loan and get one.

[cryer-evo]

wish i still had my yokomo mr4bx for indoor racing it was amazing but out doors it was lacking but the ultimate for me would be the tamiya egress

[dicky14]

:mad:pro cat and cougar 2 team for me and also my serpent impact 2 and mugen mbx 5 world champ spec

[SHY]

I have two National titles. I wish I'd kept the cars, complete... :cry:

I saw in Lostallo, Switzerland all the cars owned by Garibaldi. He always ended the season by storing his cars COMPLETE, for later display... costly but really cool! :D

[samd]

Original carbon tub predator think I swapped it for a car stereo :(

[paulc]

Schumacher Top Cat for me then my Tamiya Manta Ray witch had every possible upgrade on it owell nevermind

[P_B]

I sold the car to who I thought was a trustworthy club member who I let have the car having only paid 1/2 the agreed price on the promise that the rest would be paid soon afterwards..... that was the last time we saw that club member - & my beloved Losi :confused:

Fallen for that one too with my old B4 - never saw the guy again :mad:

I regret selling my Losi XX the most, it was a brilliant car and really brought me on as a racer back then. Also regret selling my 'spare' new built and unused XX4-WE when in a tight spot.

[bretts]

Should have kept this as a shelf queen and never have sold it.:cry:

[MikePimlott]

Any Of my Tamiya's 501 or 511,

No other 4WD will ever look as good as a tamiya blue

[coleman758]

Mine has too be the FABS MCS No 18.

Sold it too Honeybadger on here.

They are beautiful cars!, I sold it because I needed the money at the time, The funny thing was by the time id posted the car I didnt need the money :cry:

For you that don't know, The MCS is a limited run of 30 cars. No more will ever be made. Safe to say they are like Rocking Horse S**T.

[migsy]

I used to run a pred and loved it. sold my x10 coz i bought an x11, i loved the x11 but to many breakages for me, it had to go.

I recentley got my hands on a xx4 and it is awsome. i wish i'd got one years ago, only problem now is the lack of spares in the uk.

[Si Coe]

Mine was my RC10 Team car. Lent it to Coleman for the Oople race and haven't see it since......

[rowanp25]

I regret selling a couple. biggest regrets are probably my predator p8 which was bullet proof for a pred and my fireblade 2000 which was my first racer. I also regret selling my losi shocks.........Id have a near complete xx kinwald and a xx4 worlds to play with then :(

[Nick Goodall]

My old Losi XX Kinwald Edition, I remember being so excited about it with all the Graphite and pretty blue parts! They even painted all the springs blue to match and it just looked awesome!

Just found this pic of my Losi XX Kinwald from the 1997/1998 era

Just remembered something on that car, nobody had my turnbuckles ;-) My Dad being an Engineer custom made them out of some anodized tubing he had from some project or another, always thought they looked good haha.

[Mowen208fly]

Had to be my SRP1 4wd chain driven oval car used to race on dirt ovals in the early 90s in California such a great car.

[schmacher]

schumacher cougar 2 works...still trying to get one back

[traffman]

Going back a bit, but mine was a Optima Mid.

I'm with you there Derek.

My fave was my Yellow Turbo Optima Mid swb as purchased from Marionville models secondhand but never used.

[metalmickey0]

Mine was an original Tamiya Hotshot and now got one back again as a shelf queen:)

[sime46]

For me it's either myTamiya Egress or my Tamiya TRF511. Bugger.

[Pacman]

I regret selling all my cars when I was a teenager, but I had to to buy the latest competitive equipment. The Astute I most wish I hadn't sold as it was such a lovely car even though I never raced it. The Kyosho Lazer ZX-R mk2 I regret because it took me ages to get back into A-finals with the Cat 2000 that replaced it.

Since then I'm glad to say I've kept all my cars and my father's who no longer races.

[traffman]

I remember owning a carbon tubbed predator , the one with the sticker inside denoting the cars number.

Sold it for 80 pounds.

[discothesnake]

Mine has too be the FABS MCS No 18.

way back when......... i was about 19 when i gave up the RC racing scene, now 23 years later i still wish i had the last car from when i sold all my gear.
The awesome and best CAT, the XLS.

Loved all my many many cars but the best was the XLS......

[Kev B]

Well i have kept my Cat 2000EC from the Teeside Euros but regret selling two cars. My first car was a Kyosho Mid Custom and my Tomy Intruder from the RRC series. which i could get that one back.

Awsome!! Thanks for posting your pic Nick - takes me right back, so typical of the era - bright flourescent colours, loads of decals & anodised parts. I can remember watching your car in many a National 'A' final :cool:

BTW; I seem to remember that the 2" two row stud front tyres were often THE ones to use, I wonder why Schumacher never did a 2.2" version?

[Naushad]

Not really sold..but I wish I could have my original Nikko turbo panther when I was 11...I remember running it on the grass and tarmac...waiting for those batteries to recharge...exciting times!
