If we're including 'naked' chassis: The '87 Worlds Optima Mid prototypes. Everything was machined from solid black anodised alloy except the wishbones...

1. Lazer ZX-S Evo Proto (my one below) but kit version form is just as nice
2. Tamiya Proto type as run bY Alan Harman and Ellis Stafford in the early 90's
3. Masami's Proto RC10

And here I was thinking this thread was about box stock cars...

Which car (of all time) is the best LOOKING in your opinion? Not talking best handling etc... Just sat on the bench, no upgrades, out of the box porn! Lol
LOL!

But seeing we are now talking 'any' buggy- I choose Masami's 89 IFMAR 'worlds' Dog Fighter 4x2 chassis

I thought it was naked chassis only lol? Oh well, in that case, the single most sexy RC buggy ever drawn up, is in fact the OOB Tamiya Dynastorm for me.
Ill own one and run it someday, its a classic 2wd design, so elegant and typically Tamiya.

I have to agree the Topforce Evo is a great looking car, im unsure if the Evo or original Avante gets my vote

For me my top 5 would have to be;
1 tamiya avante
2 schumacher cat xls
3 kyosho turbo optima mid
4 tamiya egress
5 associated rc10 gold pan

and for scale looks i don't think you can beat the tamiya sand scorcher and sand rover.

a little piece of my childhood arrived yesterday:







it's mint. my dilemma now is whether to install electrics & take it vintage racing, or keep it as a 'shelf queen'. I do have another super astute in bits with a tatty shell waiting to be put back together...

Hi Guys,

My first post on oOple For those that know me (BORMAC and Cats) For me the Cat XLS is just porn on wheels.




DanB4, Sadly the box art XLS is now in a private collection in Hong Kong!
