Who is into RC cars???
I have a Tamiya 4WD Mercedes with a 16T modified, a couple of FF01 chassis with WRC bodies running stock can motors, and a pair of Evader ST's. All electric stuff because we are building a backyard track, don't want to **** off the neighbors when we run at night.

I have a Team Associated TC3 Rally with a Subaru WRC body and a HPI (can't remember the name right now). Both are kits. I hate the RTR's because it takes out all the fun of building it. Both are electric.

I have the HPI Super nitro RS4 Subaru WRC....I painted it just like my real car....but check this out....I have had the thing since november.....I have never really driven it yet.....for some reason when I drive it....at WOT, the engine is screaming...sounds like it should be going 100 MPH....but in reality, it only goes about 10 mph or less....my electric car could literally run circles around it....its like the clutch is slipping or something....so that pissed me off....not to mention before I could even drive the thing after I got it built, I had to have the 2 front drive shafts lengthened, because the ones the kit came with were for a different car.....and too short so they would fall out and lock up the drive train. Again, I was pissed.....then the cherry on top....the last time I tried to drive it....I was pull starting it....and the pull starter, pulled all the way out of the engine....and stayed out....it didnt retract....so I have had this car since november....and have yet to drive it....I am pissed, you spend $700 + on a RC car....the least I want it to do is drive like its supposed to....HPI IMO, has some really crappy products...although they are cool...I will never buy another HPI again.
