F. Planning (Japanese Manufactured) 1/5th Scale ....

[Toyotatogo]

Hmmmmm? anyone know a whole lot about this car? To me it looks like a wireless r/c lawnmower? :lol: I stumbled upon this creation while browsing ebay, and noticed it didn't look like any 5th Scale machine I've ever seen before (Harm, FG, SVM, Technokit, Etc). The price was around $2,000.00 USD ...

It's got a mini body, I have to laugh, take a look at the brake!, the holder is made of plastic and should melt within 5 minutes......please DON'T waste your money if you want to get in to 1/5th's

If you look at the engine in the second pic, you'll notice it's made (the engine that is) by Subaru. That must be why its so expensive lol.

I'd agree, stay the hell away. But then again, until someone has driven it it's not really fair to comment. Regardless of its poor looking design, it might be a storming car.

However, i for one HIGHLY doubt it.

And FWD? High center of gravity? Lawnmower strapped to flat peice of metal with belts?

I think I'll stick to the HARM if I ever get a 1/5th, which will be never. :D

Although yeah, who knows, it may be decent... but doesn't look very promising.

I tell you another thing, the amount of power my engine is putting out would spin those weedy looking tyres the whole lenght of the straight, that engine must be in a very low state of tune if the car is drivable

I have one its a BLAST to drive but keep LOADS of A arms on hand!
SLOW for kids and new drivers on the straight but eats the BIG fast 1:5s up in the infield.
