You must have had great rigs if that was you least favorite, mine is my favorite basher.
Actually I take that back I did own one kit I didnt like at all and that was a Losi Micro DT. As for the rest of my kits I still have most of them that I've bought and I was fortunate that I started out buying quality kits and I've never really been disappointed in the kits themselves. Now the TC3 I had I didnt care for but it wasn't the kit I didnt like it was all onroads.
 
My first and worst, losi xxx-nt. The arms and shock towers on that thing would break from gravity! 2nd runner up was my t-maxx... bought after the xxx-nt as my second truck. Close third was the XTM mammoth. The two speed and diffs in that left left something to be desired.
 
Gotta be my first electric ever, Tamiya ML-01 mini sedan. Slow as hell and poorly designed. I got over it though.

Schumacher Menace. Brittle little pos. just touch it and it broke.

Don't tell me that!:\. I just got one from a buddy of mine that I am restoring. Yes, parts are very hard to come by but that little stock .21 really screams.
 
In my younger days, I owned some Tycos.... And, all the tires disintegrated on my Zip Zaps.

I've got an old Kyosho Outlaw Ultima Truck, that was stuffed and mounted, after it started breaking gears from hitting just small jumps.
 
My worst rc ever was my Tamiya Frog it had dog bones with a kinda ball shape hex on each end that would wear out like a cheap Allen/hex ball driver wrench would, lucky if I got a battery pack through it, and that was when all we had was like 1200mah nicd batteries, LOL!!!!
 
mine was a redcat tornado s30 every time i would drive it that thing it would brake something! but it did help me learn alot about rc cars because i had to fix it so much.
 
An HPI MT2. All aluminum, OS15 engine. If I never see another one in my life, it will suit me just fine. I think they should sell them at the dollar store because they are not worth much more than that. If there was anything that could go wrong on and RC truck, it will happen to an MT2. My Savage is great but the MT2 is just junk.
 
Ironically anything can be added to this list, who ever owned a radio shack metal lollipop r/c on 4 d cells can really relate 5 dollars of battery for 5 minutes of run time lmao, yeah I think it’s all a matter of live and learn, I’ve had tamiya, hpi , team associated, losi and, traxxas ... it’s not the lemon you buy, it’s the lemonade you end up with, that really leaves a sour taste
