I was wondering if anyone here has any 1/5 scale vehicles ? Like FG, Smartech, MCD, HPI, Duratrax ? I'm going to be getting one here very soon. I have spent a couple years around them now & they are Extremely Awesome. In a week I start work full time at largescalerc.com. Most of you have probably seen the ads in RCDriver or RCCarAction. We are building an amazing track & have a ton of fun to have !!

large scale is a great site. molzer is ok but not as good for parts. but they have some good set up tips

what kind are you going to get? mdc has the power, but fg has the durability.

I will get an MCD first. It will be Bad to the Bone, I'm sure. With 4 wheel drive it is amazing how they handle in the corners. I'm also hoping to get an HPI 5b real soon. I've made several laps with one on the track layout & it is a freakin' blast !! This is going to be an awesome track & Yes it will be real organized racing. The thing is we've been racing & know the drill, but have never ran a full scale race this big. There will be AMB timing & an Awesome track. I have been around these guys since the begining of largescalerc.com. It's been very interesting to watch. They race 1/4 scale on-roads as well, but have to travel to do that right now. I know of about 6 guys he's sold 5b's to in the Chicago area, That say they will be here every weekend racing. There are at least 4 of us here that are ready to race. Who knows how many total could actually be there. They are planning a big even some time hopefully this year. The plans for it have already started. It includes people from all over the U.S. shipping their vehicles to us & getting on planes & coming to race it up !! This could literally be a first time ever kinda event. Including RCDriver & RCCarAction magazines possibly there for a full on Shop & Race coverage !!!
The future looks bright, in the Fun catagory !

I am working on it. I have a revo to buy first that I had to temporarily back out on. I feel terrible on it but I am getting a once in a lifetime deal on a JBL pro audio setup for my house from a family friend. That comes first, then revo, then an onroad......

I feel like I'm capable of giving good advise now. But by the time your ready, Give me a shout. You were talking on-road, I watched an MCD rally car be put through it's paces in a parking lot a week or so ago. When it comes to the absolute coolest drifting I've EVER seen in an R/C form. This thing would look / act & drive like a full sized car. Hooking up good in the straits & stable in the corners. The options are amazing up to & including a true F1 car by FG with the lay down shock suspension and all. I've watched several groups of people show up to by 1 or more cars. We will load up all of the different models & go for a test drive. The proof of these vehicles is in driving them & seeing what they are capable of.
firesprink281, Thats an awesome FG you got. Love the paint work. Is it still that shiny ?

So do these come RTR?? How are the stock servos and how available are upgrades? How much fuel goes through these motors before you need to consider a new motor?

The Location & phone # are on the web site. Just check out the first post there is a link. Cool if you call & decide to stop by, have Troy give me a call. I'll swing over & at least get to meet some one in person. Sometimes weekends are test & tune time, Thats always fun. They also race 1/4 scale on-road on weekends as well, so I'm sure within a couple weeks they could maybe be there on a weekend. Thats cool, it appears your a dealer as well. It would be great to get together. Next Monday I'll officially be on-board.
