I have to say the plane in my avatar. De Havilland Chipmunk. I built it in 6 weeks. It was an award winner and published in one of the world renown R/C magazines. I did it in my own color scheme.

My Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 has around 6K into it… not proud of the cost, but it is a beautiful machine

Ok I've got 2 that I have put a ton of time and effort into. Here we go

My Trx-4. Got the trx-4 chassis kit with the intent to do a Jeep wrangler body on it like my uncle. I'm shopping around and I find a gladiator body I like a lot more so I get that instead. Well turns out it is for much smaller crawlers so I had to delete 90% of my fenders and get rid of the side plates where the esc and radio are mounted. All the paint is original work by me. Also mounted a light bar up top that disconnects easy for taking the body off.

I'm a firm believer that these things are meant to be used and I don't like shelf queens. My TRX-4 is a great example. Here it's on a hike with me in a creek. I've got a trailer for it I did a 4 of July parade float with, and I use it for a ton of stuff.
That servo on the front is for my snow plow .

Ok so here's my next build that I'm also really proud of. It's my slash 2wd. This was the first true hobby grade RC I have ever owned. Sometime in the last week of June in 2022 I was down in Texas and my uncle took me to the Traxxas headquarters and told me to pick a model that I liked and he would get one for himself too. This obviously wasn't spontaneous and I had known I wanted the slash. He told me to get the brushless because it is faster . So through hell and high water that thing has been running. Crashes left and right, and there are so few original parts on it I could count with one hand . His looks a lot closer to stock and it's only on it's second set of tires . My best friend has a slash as well, that's the FOX one you'll see.

These are just some of the photos I've got of it . Believe it or not these are all the same car! Just a ton of different appearance changes! I have another photo with the 2nd body that I custom painted but can't find it now.

I sure love these two builds and they are the physical proof of what I'm capable of. Whatever your brain tells you to build, know it's gonna be cool and you can do it!

Love both of them (I also have a 2WD slash and I love it)

I'm proud of a few builds but my ADX-10 restoration probably takes the cake. Mainly because of the night and day transformation. It was an absolute mess and turned into something stunning.

Thread 'Warby's ADX-10 restoration' https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/warbys-adx-10-restoration.59772/


But my current project may make it to the top of the list too. We'll see.

My current Optima Mid build has been full of challenges. Trying to retrofit new parts with old parts and making everything work has been a lot of work, trial and error and money.

Fitting this car with what I believe to be the best of the best modern gear while still being true to the original kit has been a pure joy! I have wanted to build this car for decades and its finally happening!

This car addresses almost all of the issues that my original car had with steeting, suspension and power/weight.

I can't wait to finish and get on a track again!!!

I am more proud of this car than my others.

You'll have to wait on pics tho.

I don't know if I'm proud of it, but it's my favorite. Element Ecto crawler.

My P-47 was my favorite RC Aircraft.

I'd be proud of this too.

Well yes, my first love (crawler that is)

 

[majin]

mines probly the ryft, i traded for the wrong axles (thought they were for a different truck) i didnt own a ryft or any other parts, with the help of @MVRCA and a few others i ended up getting enough parts to start the build then decided to get some vitavon to match the axles, then got this then got that, ended up with a really cool machine that i built from some bags of parts! love this thing,

Currently, I'm most proud of my "pile of junk" SCX10 build. It took me a while but I tossed a pile of spare parts at a pair of axles I bought from a crack head in a gas station parking lot and turned it into something pretty awesome.

Thanks. Its cleaned up well. I want to do another one of that old platform. Raider, Fury, Mojave. The 1st gen with the metal trusses.

Some really great stuff shown here folks! Well done.
