1/5th scale showoff.

[hpiguy]

I got my two newest R/Cs in the past weeks. Adds to my huge collection.

Finally got them both done. Two 1/5th scale gas powered R/Cs. I got an '04 Sportsline FG Modelsport racing semi and a MT5 FG Modelsport Monster truck.

The monster truck has a 26cc Zenoah and is stock, the Sportsline semi has the 23cc Zenoah and I added the disc brakes, sway bar kit and soft compound tires.

These vehicles are awesome. Faster than all but the best nitros in stock form. Reliable and durable. Three pulls and it runs for 45 minutes. No stalls, sputters or choking off. NONE. The monster truck hits 45+ on grass and the Semi can easily pull 55+ on a parking lot once the tires warm up. This verified by radar. And the motors are STOCK with can mufflers and gearing.

I haven't touched my nitros since I got these and I plan on selling all my nitros, keeping the electrics and gas cars now that I have them. The difference in reliability and power is remarkable.

My friend has over $1500 in his metal Maxx and he can't keep his hands off the monster. Bigger, faster and handles better. He also likes not having to go get it every few minute because it stalls.

Some pics:

Silver black truck is an Emaxx BTW.

Is there an official link for 1/5 on road cars?

[kawasakirider]

That monster truck is sweet like a massive gp savage. How much gc has it got and how good does it jump? Can you pull flips with it? Maybe you havn't tried to expensive

[RuKind]

By the look of the cage around the engine he did a flip, on purpuse or not who knows. Very cool thou and at $3.00 a gal. compare to $30.00 a gal for fuel you will end up making up the price differance down the road.

[kawasakirider]

yEAHB TU WHEN YOU CONSIDER SOME FG CARS ARE 5 AND A HALF THOUSAND USD IT IS EXTREMELY SXPENSIVE FIRST OFF. I WENT TO THERE SITE AND PRICED THEM AND I ALSO DL A VIDO OF ONROAD ONES LIKE THE SEMI AND ONES WITH PORCHE BODYS THEY ARE SO GOOD DRIFT GREAT

There is not one FG car made that costs $5,500 US. Not one. :rolleyes:

Put down the crack pipe. :p

The most expensive full option cars from FG run on average $2,500 for a full out race version F1 car.

But you can get a really nice Sportsline sedan racer with some options for under $1,000 and have an awesome time at the track keeping up with most average sedans.

RS 5 complete car ""C"" ( engine,S3 pipe,wheels,body ) complete Ref: MC10007-R



Price: $5,367.00



That was copied and pasted straight from the link you gave i assume it is in american currency and i was only just over 100 bucks off

[swampass]

While there is nothing fancy about my car per se, it is 1/5th scale. It's also pretty quick and seemingly very sturdy. I've bounced it off a few things. I think I am going with a tuned pipe next.

[BLOODforBLOOD]

the fg line is more then sturdy.I have the mt5 i jump crash bash beat that thing and never broke more then the stock plastic gear and cracked a the plastic motor mount replaced them with steel and aluminum and its a beast.

[balang_479]

Thats some air you got there, like the area too, guys in quads!

[XXWoodmanXX]

Very cool. Man-o-man, if that thing hits a marshall, it's a trip to the ER for sure. LOL

wow their big.

[Tig]

Nice, anyone have a FG Stadium truck. Thats what I'm thinking about getting.
Would an aftermarket pipe really wake up the stock motor?

swampass,
Nice ride, are those stock tires? It looks awesome.

[ScooterTrash]

Thanks,Yes there are stock tires 8 inches tall. It is an FG MT-5 Monster With a Jet pro pipe & K&N Air filter with a pre filter & I bought a set of ST Beadlock rim's for it. I was trying to take out the diff. & am having all kinds of problems getting it apart! I am about to find a big garbige can & give it up over $2650.00 in it.

[Tig]

:huh: sorry ScooterTrash, I was talking about swampass' Marder.
Although your truck is pretty insane, deffinately one of the nicest I've seen.

What makes a ST different than an MT? Is it the tires and gears?

Thanks

[ScooterTrash]

:wave: Thank You. Hi Tig, The st has 4 Shocks & the MT has 8 & the MT weights around 25lb's.. Yes a good tuned pipe makes a big diference The Jetpro bolts on around 1.4hp :winner: .Jetpro (www.largescalerc.com/Tunedpipes.html) [IMG]http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k51/MY88HD/6-27-2006-11.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k51/MY88HD/36de8791.jpg

[Tig]

Nice truck pp13b,
I wish I had all that alloy :D. I finally picked up my FG MT last weekend. It has a 30.5cc CY w/ 2spd, JetPro tuned pipe and front disc brakes. Its deffinately insane, a little different than my Nitro cars/trucks. I took it out last night when it decided to take off on me :eek:, I caught up to it in the brush upside down. I'm in the process of swapping radio gear with my Spektrum equipment, a little preventative maintenance :D .

:wave:

[jasrx]

iv just changed user name , im pp13b . yeah iv just gone to the spectrum DX3 radio and im glad i did .
Tig - it sounds like u have one nice truck too .
im tempted to buy a FG stadium truck and fully alloy the MT .

[Tig]

Just installed my Spektrum today. Deffinately worth it.
My truck is pretty nuts, just stripped out my clutch gear today :( , looking for a new set of steel gears and clutch gears.
I would love to have an FG Stadium truck and alloy my MT but, the alloy parts are sooooooo expensive. I will do a little at a time. First thing first, steel gear/clutch bell set.

i got my new pipe today , wow what a diffrence down low it makes [ i flipped the truck instantly on take off]

Stock....for now

[lil_general_lee]

I had this car but sold it a while ago brand new for about half of what I paid for it, biggest mistake I made in RC. It is a Harm SX3 Euro Edition with all the bells and whistles.

[Tig]

jasrx,
Thats a nice looking pipe, how does it sound. Have you had a JetPro before or is this the first. Just curious, seeing if its compareable to others. How is your MT running? I should be getting my pinion gear Friday or Saturday, cant wait, its kiiling me just looking at my MT.


lil_general_lee,
:eek: Thats NICE, I've made the same mistake a few times. It makes me mad just thinking about it.


:wave:

[jasrx]

the pipe sounds good , its the first jetpro that iv had [ i have herd the old versions in video`s before] heres a short vid of the MT in the backyard [ traction is a issue ] http://www.justrotors.com/media/jetprov2.mov
right click and save target as ..

[Tig]

That sounds great, the silenser does work. Mine is not silenced, its rediculously loud, I love it :D . Running in the grass is fun, traction is always a problem unless its on the street.

I'm glad this thread is coming alive.

[microrcdude]

are those 1/10 TC wheels on the wheelie bar?

[balang_479]

wow, that HARM is amazing,, you should have never sold it.. over here 1/5 scale racing is popular... the best racing there is (apart from nitro offroad)

[lil_general_lee]

Thanks,
I'll get another one some day when I get the money, I really loved it which is a shame I never got to use it.... Smaller scale is fun but the realism of the larger scale is awsome (I want to see 4 wheel Hydraulic Disks on 1/10 :) ) I'm trying to move to Australia which is expensive and not easy, so the RC's are really suffering. Which also it seems like many people here are from Australia, or I'm just noticing it more. Also I think RC is far more expensive in Aus because of the currency exchange :(

[jasrx]

where abouts in AUS are u trying to move to.?

[lil_general_lee]

Hoping either around Melbourne or anywhere in Tasmania....

[minijosh]

Time to breathe life back into an old thread. I just traded my Tamiya Bruiser for a 1/5 FG with the BMW shell. Gonna be a phat racer. Has a comp chassis on it now. Nice and shiney. Pics when I pick it up.

[OutFrontFrames]

I just got my HPI Baja 5B this past Tuesday and wow what an amazing vehicle. This is the first large scale car I have had and I think I am in love with it!!

[Tig]

OutFrontFrames,
Thats a sweet Baja. What have you done to it besides the pipe? How do you like its performance? That pipe looks sweet.

[OutFrontFrames]

Thanks..I love the performance. Other than the pipe I haven't done anything. My metal servo gear set showed up today and my 20% stiffer rear springs should show up next week. I also installed my Helios / Spektrum combo as soon as the car showed up. I am toying with shock oils and diff fluid weights right now and the new body should be done next week.
As soon as I get some time, I am going to make all of the flat aluminum parts from carbon including front and rear shock towers and bead locks from carbon fiber.

[Tig]

Nice, sounds like you'll be busy.
I have to get a Baja.

[broncobill]

Most of you have probably seen this already, but I'm going to post it again. This is my bone stock Baja. I have a JPV3 on it, and when the weather gets a little warmer, I am going to put on the ESP 30.5 engine sitting on my counter.

is that yours???

wow i love that thing.

[leadfoot113]

ok I just bought the firehammer and plan on buying a pipe I heard that jetpro aer the best what do you guys think ?b oh ye I am new to the 1/5 and to this fourm so be gental with me I do have the nitros so do know what is what with the rc'c

[leadfoot113]

hey is there a 4 stroke made for them

[Tig]

That would be my first purchase, a good pipe. You will see the most gains just from that.
I wouldnt worry about people flaming on you in here. 1/5 scale is not very poular in this Forum
The FH is a great car. From my understanding most FG parts will fit your FH. I will warn you though, its very addictive. Once you start to mod them you wont know how to stop. There are tons of mods available.
I just sent you a PM

Later

[leadfoot113]

thanks Tig for all the advice

[Tig]

Any time :)
If theres anything I can help with just drop me a line.

[leadfoot113]

hey Tig which forum do you recommend

[4DMNYC]

I've recently joind the world of large scale rc. Just picked up my 5B yesterday. I hope to put a couple of tanks through it this weekend.

Congrats on the new purchase :D
check your in box

:wave:

[leadfoot113]

hey how come every one like the buggeys I am a truck freak

[balang_479]

because i think the HPI is so much better than most other 1/5, it looks good and goes extremely well from what ive seen, (Bartson2Vegas HPI challenge). and looks like its made very well... i think the Firehammer ( like all Duratraxes) looks a bit cheapy.

[Tig]

leadfoot,
people seem to like the buggy for its scale look, thats the first impression. They also handle like you wouldnt beleive. There suspension is awesome. I am to a Truck fan, thats why I have an MT. I am just so caught up in the this Baja binge. After all of the videos I have seen of it in action its truely an amazing buggy.

Balang,
Not to sound like a dick, I think you probably could've left out the last line of your comment. If you think about it, Duratrax and FGs are pretty much the same layout, there are few differences, the most obvious being the bodies. Other than that they are pretty identicle. Thats my .02

[leadfoot113]

ya but I really don't think that 1.000 bucks is cheap! I may be old and have five kids have you seen the videos on the FH I went too those other forums and they all think that they are for beginners !!!!!!!!!!!! I don"t think so

[Tig]

well, $1K is definately not cheap.
I wouldnt go by others impressions, if you do, you're in the wrong hobby. Theres going to be a lot of people out there who are Brand Loyal and will put down any bodies car regardless of what it is. There's one guy inparticular who loves MCDs and dogs every FG out there. Me, I'm not into spending $1400 for a roller then another $1K+ for everything else, just to have 4 wheel drive.
It doesnt matter what they think. I have seen quite a few videos of FHs in action, they look and perform just like a Marder. In fact they are pretty much identicle to a Marder. Forget about those clowns who have to bash others rides. You get what you like and what you can afford to get into Large Scale, PERIOD. If they dont like it F them.

[balang_479]

Their probably built amazingly, but ive never had a good feeling about Duratraxes, its just me. Some of their designs in smaller scale machines dont seem very good, like the Warhead, the steering is horrible and heavy and everythign is just so crammed.
Its just that personally i would always choose the Baja 5B over the Duratrax 1/5, but its just my opinion.

[leadfoot113]

will TIG I think you are exactly right . I bouht it too get away from all the stress from work and the old lady so I am just planing on having fun with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4DMNYC]

Ran about 5 tanks through the baja today :D This thing is fun to drive. But it's a little slower off the line than I thought it would be. I guess I need to get a better pipe. But it jumps great and it's way tougher than I thought it would be also. I cartwheeled it a few times and not a crack anywhere on it. But I got it good and dirty :D

[leadfoot113]

hey 4DMNYC YOU HAVE WAY TOO MANY TOYS BUT NICE LOOKING COLLECTION

[Tig]

Man, I cant wait to get my Baja.
4DMNYC,
That should be the first thing you do to it, a decent pipe. They really wake up those motors. You do have quite the collection to.

lead,
they make a 2 spd for our trucks and buggys not for the Baja, not yet.

[4DMNYC]

Yeah I was looking around the hpibaja forum and It seems the jetpro pipe is the way to go. Definitly going to get that this week.
I was cleaning it up last night and I noticed the pull start housing gets filthy inside. I had to pull it off to get it poperly cleaned out, but it was easy to do. Can't wait to burn a few more tanks through it.

[OutFrontFrames]

If ya have any questions about that thing let me know. Also I think you said you had been there but sign up at hpibajaforum.com
Things to watch for:
weak shock shafts
make sure the diff is filled (some came empty)
check all the shock caps and make sure they are tight
shove a piece of foam in the side pods, it will help keep the junk out.
Thats all I can think of at the moment.

[pininfarina]

is that yours???

wow i love that thing.

yup, had it when it first came out.....

apparently my gf is crazy abt it...

hey TIG have you had any problems with your baja my neighbor can't seam too beable too start his he told me he thinks it has too be the choke or the fail safe I told him that I did not know because I still haven't got mine yet do to back order .and what is it with all the back orders it seams like every time I order somthing it gets put on back order.

[Tig]

leadfoot,
I actually just got my Baja, I havent even started it yet. I will be taking it out today. If I have any problems I will post them up when I get back.
As for the back orders. I dont think the industry expected such a boom with these little rascals. Its amazing how popular they are.

[zepplin]

i was at the not so local hobby shop the other day (45 min away) just hanging out basically, and an older gentleman came in with one of the baja 5bs and could stop raving about it. said it was his first rc ever and loved it. the more i read about these things the more i want one. just cant afford a $1050 dollar purchase just yet. maybe if i sell the drumset. i did notice that the front wheels were held on by a simple e clip. doesnt seem like a very sturdy construction, sacrificial piece maybe (to save bigger more expensive parts) anybody else have this problem with the e clips falling off? does look incredible, though.

[leadfoot113]

hey zepplin don't sale the drumms I did and it took me 3years of asking the old lady too get them back you may think of mowing lawns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .hey TIG we found out what was wrong with the baja it was the low speed needle was back out all the way my FH should be here next week?

[zepplin]

im 22 years old and have a more than full time job, so mowing lawns is kinda outta the question. if i could just get a large chunk of cash i could get one.

[leadfoot113]

hey zepplin just kidingabout the lawns

[zepplin]

i know, its cool, but im about to got to extremes to get the 5b.





hmmm, that 7/11 is still open. hey ill be right back.



JUST KIDDING!!!

[Tig]

leadfoot,
Thats good to hear. Nothing major. I just stopped by my local Moto shop and picked up some oil. I should be up and running very soon.
I did take my FG MT out last night. Put frsh gears and a nice fresh tank of gas and fully synthetic oil, it was like a brand new truck. Sucker flies.

zepplin,
I know how you feel man, I wanted one pretty bad to. I started selling all of my Electric and Nitro to fund this Gasser addiction. You should check out Ebay. Heck go run over to HPIBajaForum.com and check there classified section, seems to be a lot of them for sale lately. I wouldnt sell the drums, yet lol. I havent heard much about the clips being a problem, that is on the list of extras to get though. Go check out that site and join. Great guys with tons of info.

heyTIG what web site did you find the 2 speed trans for our truck did it fit the FH I order a jet pro pipe and I would like too get the 2 speed trans for it . hell I don't even have it yet and I am modifing it or at least buying the stuff for it.

[Tig]

I got my parts from LargeScaleRC.com, Troy is a great guy and ships fast. I got my gears in less than 24hrs. I am not sure if it will fit the FH, I dont see why it would'nt. It's basically the same layout. Hmmm, I would ask Troy to be honest.
Thats cool, what have you purchased so far?

[leadfoot113]

TIG I bought the pipe that it so far but I am looking into some lights and i am going too look into that 2 speed trans did it come as one trans or did you have to modify yor stock transI wonder if the FG & FH have the same lauout I guess I will have to send a e-mail to LargeScalrc.com.lit me know if you here any thing about the trans thanks

[Tig]

Hi leadfoot,
The 2 speed comes as an assembly. Its part number is FG07451, check it out on LargeScaleRC.com. I htink it will fit, not sure, please dont quote me on that. But, for some reason I think it will. Give Troy an e-mail and see what he says.
Good Luck, I hope everything works out. keep me posted.

[leadfoot113]

Hi TIG I got a e-mail from your boy troy about the 2speed trans and he said that no one makes a 2speed for the firehammer. I would like you too take a picture of yours and see if I can maybe I can make something work what do you think? thanks again

[Tig]

It wont fit. Hmm, I will see if I can find a picture of a 2 speed installed. If not I'll take a pic of mine and send it over to you. Anything is possible my freind. I'll be back.

[TXTRCR]

prices are too high at www.fgperformance.com

[Tig]

that link doesnt work.
a 2 speed will go for about $200.
my camera is not working for some odd reason. I will look around at other links and check out some galleries to find one.

If you're still dwelling on the past, then you have issues my freind.
If you would like to speak of words of wisdom, here are some real words of wisdom for you to ponder.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

You are successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile good.

The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.

Hey TIG what air filter do you use I have been using the K&N filter with the outerwear on it .but I just read that I was wrong because of the silt now I live in the high desert an we use them on are race truck ! are the mt trucks more fineke then the real trucks because I use K&N on all my vehicle but I trust you .your the manwhen it comes too these momster trucks! :flame:

any baby news yet :)

[Tig]

whats up leadfoot, hows everything going
You know to be perfectly honest, I've used K&N filters on my 1:1 trucks for years without a problem.
Since I have been intoduced to LargeScale gassers, they dont seem to have the greatest reputation (dont know why) with gasser folk.
I use these guys http://www.teamgonads.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=3220&Category_Code=hpiint.
They make them for stock and aftermarket filters.
I was reading about someone who used a TGN Redneck after a run and it was a mess, he took off the redneck and the interior filter looked brand new, not one spec of dirt. I will try to find the link so you can see it.

You can also use these http://www.teamgonads.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=7300&Category_Code=hpiint

You can never be too safe. Thats my modow :). Plus its all about maintenance, a properly maintaned filter will do its job. Clean them every 2 to 3 runs, or depending on what your running in, every run.

Thanks for asking about my "baby news"
So far so good, shes on schedual. My wife is getting very big and very uncomfortable. We wish she would come now.

Thanks again for asking
I hope this info helps out.
If there is anything else feel free to ask anytime, you have my e-mail to.

[NiCad]

www.largescalerc.com they have everything you want from the large scale line! MCD, HPI, FG,..........my cousin has the 5b withthe 29cc kit and jetpro pipe. Thing just brutal! Check them out.

later,
NiCad

[Tig]

largescale is a good source, others to check out are DDM and TGN.

[NiCad]

I must say I like the stuff coming out of TGN. Largescalerc is stocking a lot of their stuff now too.

[Tig]

I must say I like the stuff coming out of TGN.

especially the 2 speed;)

[leadfoot113]

HI TIG any word on two speed for the FH I am not giving up?
p.s are you getting any sleep with that new baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tig]

not yet lead, things have been a little hectic around the house with Kylie.
As for sleeping, she is actually a very good sleeper. Of course she has her days, for the most part she is great. Loves walks and drives to nowhere :).

I will make a phonecall tomorrow about the 2 speed.

Happy 4TH
:wave:

[NiCad]

www.largescalerc.com is having a RC meet today. I will get pics as well others will too. Some digital camera vids not great but be cool. Radar gun is with them and we are running in a HUGE parking lot.

Happy 4th to all. God Bless America and our troops keeping us independent!

[RDucky02]

I was looking into getting into 1/5 scale monster trucks. Since I began looking some time ago I looked primarily at FG. I then recently found the MCD brand of monster trucks.

I've only heard of one person hearing any thing about MCD and it was with durability issues. Wondering if any of you have any input about the FG and MCD monster trucks.

[NiCad]

I will say this, personally never seen a broken MCD. These guys have replaced some parts. Bob can fill us in as to what breaks and what doesn't.

FG is a great truck, lacks the 4wd though. That makes a huge difference in your 1/5 scale fun. Come winter well the MCD is waaay more fun.

[leadfoot113]

Hey TIG were can I get a custom body made for my FH ?

[Tig]

RDucky,
They are both very good trucks. Granted the MCD has 4WD BUT, it comes at a price. 1500 for a roller and 2100+ RTR
I seriously doubt you'll have any issues with an FG in the winter time, I had an MT and it went through anything and everything without a problem. Remember these trucks weigh in excess of 30lbs. Mine had a 30.5cc, Jet Pro and 2 speed. NOTHING got in its way or could stop it, period.
I do beleive the suspension in the MCDs are little better handling than the FGs. FGs seem to bounce more than soak up the rough stuff.

Lead,
Do you mean a custom painted body? Or litterally a custom made, one off body?
Still havent heard about the 2 speed either. Now that I think about it, he never called me back:mad:

[NiCad]

Well the FG is no doubt cool. BUT, check these vids out 4wd rules Monster Trucks!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXfoluLI4P0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT5NWFHiYjU

More from Large Scale RC.

http://www.youtube.com/user/cat5mfg

4wd is just better when it comes to true off roading. The guys at Large Scale RC have had them all and their choice is MCD. This what they have for their personal RC's they run.

Not taking anything away from others. FG is AWESOME they have great product with more hop ups then you can imagine.

Baja 5B plain and simply put. Most fun for the money.

MCD big fun big money.

[Tig]

NiCad,
Do you own a large scale?
I've seen those videos. The tug-o-war is not a fair comparison, period.
Theres no doubt that 4x4s can go more places, that doesnt make them better by any means. I have also seen many FG owners go in similiar if not worse terrain and come out on top.
I can tell this is going to be another FG vs MCD flame war. Why dont we just bury the hatchet and enjoy them for what they are. Big loud fast gas consuming machines.

:wave:

[leadfoot113]

HEY TIG I am looking for a one of a kind bodies if you ever here from that guy about the two speed lit me know thanks I had it today out on the dry lake and ran great but I need more gears it sure slides goodhad way too much fun.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tig]

Ohhh, that could be very pricey. I have not seen a one off for a 1/5 scale gasser before.
I'll be calling him tomorrow, over and over again. Until he answers or calls me back.
Sounds like you had a great time. I wish I had an open spot like a dry lake around here. That would be great to open my cars up and do a little drifting in the dirt.
Later gater

now it makes me want to shell out the money for one. 950 isn't bad i suppose. do you think you've made up the cost by NOT purchasing glow fuel and instead unleaded + oil?

this is VERY tempting. nitro is so expensive. i've probably dropped enough into it to have bought one of these, but they didnt exist yet. lawl

Kylie is great. She has starting teething the past few weeks. She is getting so big. Its great to come home to a smiling baby. I call her name out everyday when I get home, she stops what she is doing and looks around until she sees me, then she smiles like crazy and her arms and legs kick around. I love coming home, wish I didnt have to leave.

Here's my Baja after freshening up and a new body. Upgrades are Promatch 3800 mah matched RX pack, HPI light kit, 29cc stroker with stuffed crank, DDM Dominator pipe, metal gear upgrade in the steering servo, 10,000 rpm clutch and of course Spektrum RX for my M11. Oh, and it runs on Coleman lantern fuel (I don't have a garage and I couldn't stand the thought of leaving it outside because of fumes).
When I run on the street I have a set of Tarmacs and it will pull wheelies on demand.

[kingofrc14]

I found this browsing the web. A new manufacture bringing back old school largescale with real price that people can afford.This 1/4 buggy sells for 1350.00 without a motor or you can get with stock motor shown for 1500.00. The buggy is full aluminum with independant suspension with adjustable gearing, a roll cage and a molded body not shown. Other projects in the works are a monster truck just like the origional well known New Era monster truck. A pulling truck and a onroad racer.:D

[Thai]

Here's mine:

I'm getting pretty good with controlling the vehicle with one and and taking pics with the other. Haha. I love the roost these Bajas kick up. So awesome.

Redcat Rampage!

I have seen these, they are alot cheaper than most 1/5 scales. Any problems yet? I have had several Baja's and still own the one I put the most work into but I was thinking about getting a cheaper large scale to beat around because I already have spare engines, carbs etc...

[VICTORY--RC]

The wheels are painted like carbon fiber....there darker now.

Nice ride! Is that an FG in the backgroud?

Nice ride! Is that an FG in the backgroud?
hi hdcchrome thanks for the nice comment,yip its my fg beetle pro its was off the road for a while:( i've just done a few small alloy upgrades to it and now its all ready to go again:D

[hdcchrome]

Oh it's the PRO so it has the eight shock suspension?

What alloy did you use? Elcon or FG? I have a Beetle also, not the pro, because I wanted the four shock suspension for better turning/handling, it is not as bouncy as the eight shock. I have been running 1/5th scale for 20 years and FG remains my favorite.

Have you tried any of the FG four wheel drive kits? What all do you have in your proud collection? Your HPI kit is very impressive, nicer than most I have seen and VERY WIDE!

Ever tride a 1/5th on road?

hi hdcchrome,i only used a few fg alloy parts nothing too mad,just for a bit of strength,ii have the 8 shock but took all the little plastic clips off the shock springs so then it real bouncy also,i really like the fg's,

i've not tried the fwd fg's but i've drove an fwd ftx punisher a great little buggy real good on wet track.
thanks for your nice comment on the baja 5bss ultra-wider.

i have an on road harm rx1 car that i converted into an ferrari car as no tracks near us just run at a carpark.
