I'd rather buy a used and beaten hpi 5b over any clone 5b.

The clones have more brittle plastic, weaker cheaper aluminum, thinner less durable rubber, cheaper bearings (some spots completely omit a bearing), ghetto electronics and NO customer support.

The weight may be a turn off to some, but with the size and weight of my fully modded 30.5 5b I have put more power to the ground than any r/c I've owned.

The trenches it digs on burnouts and the grass chunks it throws whipping shitties is just unmatchable.

The power and realism are truly on another level.

I can't wait to build an electric 5b! (in the works, coming soon)
