I'm definitely interested in FG's new Dakar-esque...

After doing a search I came up with 1 XO-1 motor, and they look very sought-after looking at the completed listings. The total price (by the time it's imported and including an MMM) is getting on for...

I would probably use a 7.4V Rx pack rather than a regulator - I do the same with my 1/8th - good suggestion.

Are any parts worth upgrading? I read around a bit on the official forums and it looks like the wheel bearings are weak, is it a necessity to get the 7075rc oversized hubs?

Is the XBE durable? Especially the A-arms?

Good to know that the lower weight means that it doesn't require as hefty a set-up as other 5th scales.

Would an 8S setup be overkill? I'm after...

1/5th planning. Redcat Rampage & what ESC/motor/LiPo combo?

So I'm looking at building a 5th Scale for the 1st time. It's going to be built for some friendly racing with some Losi 5ives, Bajas and the like, so I'd like 4WD. This drew me towards the Redcat...

Hello everyone here, it's nice to have the RC/race buzz again. It's been over 2 years since my last post, and the forum seems to have become quieter. At the same time, 8th Electric is more mainstream...

It is down to the firmware - the older 720i chargers had 2C max built in, but the later firmware allows 5C.

I'm running the 1400KV on 6S. I've got 3 additional caps (35V, 220UF, 105° each), and I'm not using the onboard BEC. I haven't had much chance to test it yet - it's too wet and cold over...
