Cool to see it has arrived safe and sound! I understand your dilemma... You have another Super Astute... Why not restore that to a 'race-ready' condition (As it's already a used car)? I'm sure you'll find a way to race one of them!

Origineelreclamebord - Got to admit that your DynaStorm is one sexy 2wd!!

Without a shell, its got to be a toss up between an original carbon tubbed Predator, Schumacher Bosscat Works..... or any 1/8th On-road Nitro car (Serpent or BMT etc) Basically the more technical the chassis looks with carbon & anodised alloy parts the better!

For cars with a bodyshell, I have a soft-spot for the JRXPro with the box art paint scheme;



Cougar 2


And - maybe i'm a little biased, but I love the look of any Works91->on YZ-10 (with the 'squashed bug' design shell)

Actually you are very fortunate to have both intruders...I'm finding it difficult to find parts to complete mine!

What is going on! I'll post this for the Old Skool boys...

The CAT XLS is nice and Origineelreclamebord’s Dyna is sex! also the TRF211x is close, But.....................

..................I’m going to forgive you young guns for totally losing the plot and overlooking the BEST ever LOOKING RC Cars bar none, period....... Metal is wood ;-)
No. 1 The holy grail of lookers....
sandscorcher2.jpg

No. 2 The overlooked racer/looker....
4274780840_9c4c37c2d6_o.jpg

No. 3 No racer but good looks....
664256052_7635410f11.jpg

No idea to who these photo gems belong to (nicked them off Google but please own up?) but if you want us to delete them... you’re mad!

Great memories,
Steve.

DanB4, Sadly the box art XLS is now in a private collection in Hong Kong!
That collection is utterly jaw dropping , i remember reading the review on the original cat swb and it looked the exact same as that.

For me it has to be the Dyna Storm as well, I thought it was going to be a unique choice when I saw the thread title... but hey, I guess lots of ppl like it too

Close runner ups, or winners depending on how I am feeling are:

Original RC10


Traxxas TRX-1


Tamiya Sand Scorcher

My favourite looking car is the Avante. I have a rere Avante still boxed and a Black Special built.

I also have this which is another favourite. To be honest this isn't an Egress it's a heavily modded Vajra!



I want a nice YZ10 next.

Beautiful I'm lucky enough to have one that looks just like this angle of the pic I took is slightly different, will need to do another.




I think I need to raise the rear wing now that I look at it.

Rude to overlook the Optima Mid.

This is mine. Probably not pleasing to the pure vintage types but I like to pimp my restorations
