another RC mikes gonna put on his Xmas list
hehehe

Thats just screaming for a disjustingly poweful brushless system.....:eek:

The HPI engineers have been busy then.

A small detail but i like how the diff outdrives sit on bearings in the diff cup rather than the usual metal on metal.

I'm in love......certainly more detail put into it than buying a cheap 1/5 from a Chinese distributor and slapping your name on it......::COUGH:: Duratrax and XTM ::COUGH:: :D

EDIT: Just noticed they went with an 8mm thick chassis, holy cow will that sucker be durable!

Yeah and 2wd. AGAIN!!

I can't beleave there are so many 2wd lawnmower powered bigscale's. It is a nice design, but comon, a true offroad must atleast have 4wd.

Maxxdude,

You mean something like this?

(yes that is a bigmaxximum on the left)

Allthough that's an 1:5 onroad, i'm sure it'll fit in any 1:5

Ouch.. You hurt my feelings Sneeck..

That is one UGLY car... ( i simple don't like those 1/5th 2stroke cathedrals..)

I hope you can forgive me but I couldn't find an offroad bigscale with such a massive bl motor.

The 2280....

I can forgive you quite easy sneeck..

I would like to see a better pic of that 1/5 on road with the fat plettenberg. How many batteries do you run?

It's not his, it's a german experiment..

I would put my money on a 2280 over that baggybigmaxximum (as investment)

OH! The 2280 is not small motor either. I like power. Big motor means big power. :)

Uh oh. We have everything converted here. We have a Jato, Savages, Buggies, an MGT, LST, Revos, HB Lightning, HPI MT .... but for this one, well, I think we have to draw lots.

:L:

i told you about my brushless Volvo?

LOL Trunk, back-seat and passenger-seat full of NiMH cells?!? :L: Does it wheelie?

LOL... no, i think it needs a dual setup..

(and another thread is lost...)

1/5th is nice, but i like the 4wd more..

so will someone convert the HPI Buggy 5B??

It has to come out first......;)

Don't look at me.. I'm not interested in a brushless 2wd cathedral..

Look at the bright side serum. You won't have far to go when that big crash comes. You just start praying you didn't break nothing. :) It would be a nice project if you could get it. Have to wait a little while. If you like big toys there is one guy that has them. The tire is bigger than an emxx.

Thank God that thing isn't mine lol. Onroad? Who need's onroad.

Nah, like Serum said, 4wd + offroad ownz.

This is more my "thing"

Allthough it should have some 40 serie wheel's, a single motor and some lipo's, this would be quite awesome.

I didn't knew you had a crush on red crosses Sneeck?

They are linked from UE forum, I can view them fine.

Here we go;

I smell KOMODO's... ;)

well....it IS 4wd..

I have to get the HPI BB5! It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when and what do I have to sell to get it.

lol
that 1/5 buggy is an Emaxx with a new Chassis
looks hella nice tho

It's big, it's fast, it's brushless. What more do we need?:p

more money to buy these?

does the HPI MT break all the time? i constantly was breaking axles and having trans problems...

Geoff. You need to ask camel rc about it. He had one he converted. I think he had rear problems twice.
