1 Year Progress Report

Back in 2025, after 30 or so years of wanting a nice RC, I got my first hobbygrade car when I built a 2wd Slash, and since then things have taken off. This is what one year in the RC hobby has looked like for me. Worth noting I got some great deals otherwise I likely wouldn't have this many cars in such a little time.

Cars are listed in chronological order.

  1. Traxxas 2WD Slash- Built from scratch. I put together a parts list to build out my version of a 2wd Slash Ultimate and the wife got it for me for Father's Day 2025.

  2. Traxxas Maxx- Bought new RTR.

  3. Traxxas Sledge V1- Marketplace find, beautiful like new condition with batteries, M2C motor mount, and other hop-ups, $400.

  4. Axial SCX24- Bought New RTR for my daughter, later became mine. (Not pictured is the trailer I got her too)

  5. Losi Micro-T- Bought new RTR.

  6. Losi Micro-B- Bought new RTR.

  7. Traxxas Slash 4x4- Marketplace find. Needed minor repairs. Included Hobbywing Quickrun system, LCG conversion, battery, and other various hop-ups, $100

  8. Losi Micro High Roller- Marketplace find that I probably overpaid for, but given what they go for on eBay, I was OK with it, $150.

  9. Redcat Monte Carlo Lowrider- purchased new RTR.

  10. Redcat '64 Impala Lowrider- Christmas gift, new RTR.

  11. Arrma Typhon Grom- see #13.

  12. Arrma Typhon Grom- see #13

  13. Arrma 223s 4x4 Vorteks- The 2 Typhons and the 223S Vorteks were purchased in an amazing bundle deal. These 3 cars were gifted to my buddy and his kids for Christmas of '24 by an in-law. When I went over to my buddy's place last month to wheel and deal on the 3 cars he tried to just give them to me. His wife said he only drove the Vorteks twice and based on the Spektrum S155 charger that came with everything (it only had 3 charge cycles), I believe her. The Vorteks was in absolutely immaculate condition. The Arrma Typhons were slightly scuffed on the bottom and the stickers on top had some marring, overall not bad. He said his kids had only driven them about 5 times, but one of the Typhons had a bad battery. After some back and forth I convinced my buddy to at least take some cash. $100 for all 3 cars and the s155 charger.

  14. Proboat Recoil 2 18"- New RTR gifted for Father's Day 2026.

*Some Honorable Mentions*

**Not pictured, Redcat 1959 Impala Body with Jevries Continental Kit- Valentine's gift from the wife so I can do a body swap with the '64 and build out my dream lowrider.

**Not pictured, currently working on a project car that I've spent the last 6 months sourcing parts for.

*Dishonorable Mention*

**Not pictured, 2 LaTrax Alias Drones- Meh.

So thats what 1 year of RC has been for me. It's been super fun getting out there and bashing the Sledge or Maxx, hopping and dancing the lowriders, even just cruising the Micros down the road while on a walk with the family, such a blast. Having just gotten my first boat, I am stoked to get it out on the water and I hope it doesn't send me down the RC boat rabbit hole as I don't think my wallet can handle it. If you read this far, thanks for your time. Peace and be excellent to eachother!!

Finally added an Arrma to the collection.

Buddy gave me too good of a deal and I couldn't pass it up. All 3 are very lightly used. Vorteks was only ran 2 times. Have plans to add the Proline Baja Kits to the Typhon Groms.
