Your forever car...

I like to keep it simple, just a clean bone stock RC12L. It was my first 1/12 scale car and I have been looking for a while to find a decent one to restore! It will be on my shelf someday

Good Choice, I just missed out on a NIB one, so disappointed.

As for my forever car - its a tough choice. My first real RC Car that I raced was my LXT (still in my collection) but my dads original clodbuster would be its top competitor.

Only just seen this thread whilst looking for something else.

For me it would hands-down be my own racing and much modified 870c which i used competitively up until the end of the 1991 season. I am fortunate enough to still have quite a number of my original cars from my racing days, so any of those would be tough to let go (in reality i wouldn't) but if i was running out of a burning house the one i would grab would be the Yoke.

It means a lot because not only did i do ok with it, and have pics of it in a few mags and tech tables, it also has a heap of personal touches added by my father which are obviously irreplaceable. To me it is totally unique.

Strangely i haven't finished rebuilding it yet, even though we have all of the parts. It is his drilled-out, lightened masterpiece. He added (or should that be removed?) quite a few personal mods, machined a set of slotmag rims which had no external fittings, and created a taller more adjustable front shock tower and a 3 point battery strap boomerang in a bid to save a few more grams by removing the need for a 4th battery post. He even thinned down the Jammin Jay upper chassis plate. This is also the car i have a full race video of from the 1991 Radio Race Car Series A Final in Oswestry UK, which I was fortunate enough to win, back in the days when i could actually drive(!)
