and maybe a comment on your choice.

you also have two votes to use.

Must say, you forgot my fave, CEN. The makers of all the fun factor stuff, and of course, the genesis.46

Savageman26 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 16, 2005, 11:17:37 AM »

No problem dude!!!! :-[ Was just saying, coz i put"other" as my second choice

Laughing Potato · « **Reply #4 on:** October 16, 2005, 05:26:04 PM »

Tamiya and Schumacher for me as both have made my most reliable models

Glypo · « **Reply #5 on:** October 16, 2005, 07:30:14 PM »

I've added CEN to the poll if anyone wants to vote for it.

I've voted Mugen as my buggy has been simply outstanding. And of course Schumacher!

Tamiya, because there's just something about their models (tough, fun, reliable and something I can't quite put my finger on!)...and HPI, because of their well-engineered trucks and they just seem to be a "nice" company...they are focused on making the RC hobby as fun for everyone to be in as possible, as opposed to just making as much money as they can.

I would have to aggree with you there about HPI and I like the LOSI products as well very well engineered sometimes over engineered

I went for Schumacher as the Menace was my first proper nitro r/c and it's done me proud

.

I have only done that one as i have not yet owned any others, but will hopefully get my long awaited Savage so i'll we'll see what HPI have to offer

, after the Havoc of course

Right,

I gone for MUGEN.. they build/designed the best 1/8th buggy out there.. more reliable than a kyosho and that's saying something..

and second vote went for schumacher

.. since i've bought my 1/10th tourer.. it's shown to to me what ever one was going on about..

Rob Giles · « **Reply #10 on:** October 21, 2005, 07:35:16 AM »

I've been thinking about this for some time now

and to be honest I don't have a favourite brand, I like my Thunder Tiger an enormous amount, I like my Mugen just as much, My Kyosho was really good too, I have a couple of little 1/18th scale trucks too and they are great fun as well

I think each and every RC I have owned have been really really good, they all do what I want them to do and if you look closely they're all pretty much the same (well nearly)

I think RC in general is my favourite brand, I can't get enough of it, be it racing or bashing. My little son Jack is fast becoming an addict too, no matter what RC I get out to play with makes him smile and start running about like a looney

So I'd like to thank every car brand/manufacturer there is for making this such a fantastic hobby/sport

p.s. I voted Mugen and Thunder Tiger, cos thats what I got at the mo

rob1468 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 21, 2005, 11:10:02 AM »

I agree with what rob has said as all manufacturers are giving us the models to coincide with our hobby

but as you all know im a hpi fan so my first would be HPI as for my second choice it was harder as the ofna hyper and hotbodies are very good as well but voted for hotbodies which i think should be merged with hpi as they are

lol
but saying all that i just love the hobby so dont care

cheers rob

Revo-Racer · « **Reply #12 on:** October 26, 2005, 10:46:16 AM »

i went for Traxxas and Hobao

because they have gave out some great trucks and buggys for all you racing/bashing needs

THE FUN NEVER ENDS WITH THESE TWO!!!

PisteBasher · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2005, 07:51:03 AM »

I had to vote for Tamiya as it was their Hornet that started me off in the world of RC at a tender age after endless weeks of saying 'Can i have one of those please' everytime my mother draged me through town for the weekly shop

also i voted HoBao as i have had a PBS and now a Pro UK and found them a great buggies and best of all you can find bits for them everywhere so it is never off the track for long if i dont have the spares in stock

wipeout · « **Reply #14 on:** December 02, 2005, 07:21:47 PM »

I dont know enough about many of the manufacturers listed.

So I went for Tamiya and HPI.

I did however, have some great times with my Irvine powered Mardave Marauder.

Hpi_matrix_stock · « **Reply #15 on:** December 05, 2005, 01:17:33 PM »

I went for hpi as nothing on m pro 2 has ever broke

, it is also still ok to race even though the chassis is god knows how old

MIP should get a shout as there cvd's and diff's are bullet proof

dantxd · « **Reply #16 on:** December 05, 2005, 02:31:41 PM »

HPi - because everything else is just a waffle.

Bullet Proof · « **Reply #17 on:** December 06, 2005, 05:10:57 PM »

I voted for Traxxas because of the pure technical brilliance and support. HPI have done wonders for getting lots of people into RC that would have not normally. Why do you think they have done that though..... to make lots of money. My second choice would have been mardave as my first proper RC was a ministock but instead of moving forwards over the years they seem to have just stood still so they lost the vote for being lazy. I am going to go for Kyosho though for my second vote. I have had a few of their cars and they have always been good, infact I still have my Lazer ZXR.

Dagger Thrasher · « **Reply #18 on:** December 06, 2005, 06:35:18 PM »

alflamb · « **Reply #19 on:** December 12, 2005, 02:18:29 PM »

I voted for Schumacher as I have an Mi2 S1 and it's superb

Tamiya second cause that was the make of my first rc buggy 10 years ago

SAVAGE BEASTER! · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2006, 09:10:51 PM »

I voted HPI, because great vechiles and very good with providing spares and hop-ups.

Second was thunder tiger, i know it sounds crazy but i had a SSK for my first nitro truck and it was fab, lasted ages till rear diff gave way and couldnt get replacement. lol

Speed Demon · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2006, 11:51:29 PM »

I voted thunder tiger, av got the new mta-4 and am very happy with it. Seems very strong/durable and has good performance

cheers

jga_gers · « **Reply #22 on:** January 13, 2006, 05:41:04 PM »

I voted for traxxas and hpi

traxxas because i have had 2 of them and they have been very good and not had any problems

hpi because i have seen and heard they are very reliable and good

cheers

rcbug · « **Reply #23 on:** January 13, 2006, 10:58:23 PM »

voted Hobao and HPI

Hoboa as i have one and Hpi as IMO they have a good reputation
Also as long as you enjoy your vehicle

Think its also about the after sales of any manufacturer

Crazy L · « **Reply #24 on:** January 28, 2006, 07:53:41 PM »

I chose Tamiya as thats the brand that got me into RC and also I started racing with.

My second choice was "Other", Team Losi being the "other" as this is probably the brand I've had most "career" race wins with, aahhh......The Double X, those were the days :'(

lol
