All Team Soup wants for Christmas is…

December 1st, 2012

Kevin

So this is something we haven’t done before but we thought would be fun for our readers. I’ve asked everyone involved with the site what R/C stuff they wanted for Christmas. It doesn’t have to all be realistic, or practical.. we didn’t set a price cap. I just wanted to share what we’d all like to see under our tree. Let us know what you think of our list, and feel free to post your own list in the comments section.

This is probably also the first time we’ve listed everyone’s name in one spot. If you don’t know who a person is, this will also give you an insight into what we’re into. The items each person wants are listed below their name.

MIP Thorp Hex Drivers

I am currently using hex drivers from RC One. While they are OK, I have heard from several people that nothing beats the MIP Thorp drivers. I can’t wait to give them a try.

Durango DEX210 Kit

Two wheel drive buggy class is exploding at local track, High Octane RC. I have been looking for an excuse to get out of Short Course for a while, and since it doesn’t look like Stadium Truck has any traction locally, this might just be the next class I get into.

CRC Xti 1/12 Road Car

After renting some 1/12 road course cars at CRC and trying on-road for the first time, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I think I will have one of these for next season (it’s too late in the season for me to get into one now).

Traxxas QR-1 Quad-Rotor Helicopter

Parts availability will be huge, will bring a whole new crowd to the micro heli market.

Venom 4500mAh Volt Check LiPO Battery

Gotta love being able to check if a battery is charged with just the push of a button! All lipos should have this feature!

TLR 22SCT 2WD Race Truck Kit

Because it’s the new hotness.

Joseph Chuhak (Mr. Monster Truck)

Losi 1/5 5ive-T 4WD Off-Road Truck

Axial Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

Novak Diablo Brushless system

(Stocking Stuffer)

Hitec LiPo checker and balancer

Jim Decker (Co-Founder)

Losi 1/5 5ive-T 4WD Off-Road Truck

I want a Losi 5t because it is one of the biggest baddest noisiest RC trucks out there. I think Losi did an awesome job designing the truck and the 1/5 scale is very cool. I really want to walk it around with a leash on it. Like a big old bulldog…

Futaba 4PKS FASST radio w/ aluminum case

I love my 3pk so I know the 4pk /w FASST is about as good as it gets as far as radio equipment. No brainer.

ProTek R/C P-8 1/8th Buggy Super Hauler Bag

I haul a lot of stuff to the track(s). After seeing what a lot of guys are using to haul their gear, the ProTek hauler bag would fit my needs perfectly.

6 Futaba FASST receivers

For my new 4pk radio. 1 in my TOUR Nastruck, 1 in my TOUR 17.5 Open car, 1 in my 2WD SCT, 1 in my 4WD SCT, 1 in my Dirt oval 1/10 EDM and 1 in my Dirt oval 1/10 Late Model..
