RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

so you the nightmare senario you your house is on fire and you have a chance to wake the wife (girlfriend) grab the cat and and one rc car which one would it be ?


my choice would be my rpm t2 runner

its not its monetary value but the amount of fun it brings

Nice subject line... draw em in.
Earlier this week I got a work email entitled "Additional vacation hours available" and when you opened it it said, "Now that I have your attention, timesheets must be turned in by noon this Friday due to the upcoming holiday. Thank you."

Edit: something happened to my post and half of it was missing.
I would grab my Hotshot runner. It was my first real r/c and most of it is vintage parts and hopups.

My Losi pro se.
Its built it from all of the racing parts from back when I raced my pro. I have had my pro longer but all of the racing history is on the se now, and the pro is just another shelf queen now. it is a hard decision as I Love them all. I guess the se is just my favorite

well since my wife left and I wouldn't have to wake her, that would give me enough time to grab two instead of one and they would be my period hopped up rough rider and my MIP 4wd sand scorcher.

I would have a hard time, I may just burn with them all! I guess if I was able to make a quick decision, I would grab the autographed Edinger, I think.....! Damn you treehugger, I'm sure I would burn!

I think I'm going to run out and buy a large duffle bag now. I'll keep it near my r/c cars. When the fire starts, I'll just grab that bag, extend my arm and sweep all my r/c's into it, like how they used to do on those Toys R Us toy run commercials and be out the door in like 5 seconds.

Oh who am I kidding, I'd probably let them all burn and be out the door with my favorite bicycle.

If you leave the cat, you'll have both hands free to take more r/c's with you.

I can see it now, the firemen have their catch net readied and are waiting for you to jump, but you just keep lobbing r/c's out the window! LOL

Maybe you need two dufflebags then?

I would say the Franken-10, but with all it's been thru I'm pretty sure it would just laugh and put the fire out; so I would just grab the beer...

well seeing i would have to run upstairs to get to the rc's i would be screwed too. sadly the wife and i already discussed this. i would toss them out the window and her job would be to pick them all up and toss em in the car. by the time i would get them all tossed out its not likely i would get out unless i jumped also.

but... if it was truly a situation where could get one i would most likely burn to death while trying to decide between the atomic carbon s2 and the durango b4.

I couldn't help but think of this scene.

I'd leave 'em all! If I saved one it would remind me every time I seen it how badly I needed to up my insurance and didn't
