So which 1/5 scale should I get?

Never had a savage so don't know about the parts. Maybe you could upgrade it with your box of lady parts?

I forgot about those MCD rally's, that would be a cool conversion for sure.

HA, yeah lady parts can take a beating that ids for sure!!!

The mcd looks interesting, but how is parts support?

I think I need to give the large scale forum a try.

MCD's have pretty good part support, as they are a big competitor to FG in the touring and MT department. And quality is very high also,and if I'm not mistaken MCD makes some pretty decent 7075 hopups too.--Josh

There are a few places online to get parts for MCD vehicles, largescalerc.com being one of them. Might want to search around to see what parts most places stock and for what Versions, as they're up to #4 now. MCD gets my vote if you don't mind spending some dough.

More places sell FG parts though, and they make a pretty sweet touring car, but its only 2wd. But they are cheaper than MCD, more common used, and you could always add cable or hydro brakes to the front and rear.

The Redcat Dunerunner is styled like a baja but is 4wd and pretty damn heavy. The Rampage TT is the buggy version of the Rampage monster truck. The TT is a bit lighter and uses the same parts as the MT so parts are more availible. Its also the basis for their 4wd touring car, arms, shocks, towers etc are different. I'd love to pick up one of those, but it has been discontinued. I've been eyeing the XB series from Redcat, very tempting.

On the page below you can find some pictures (from toyfair) of new prototype e-MCD. I love MCD because they are made in my homeland:)

MCD Rally does look awesome! Looks like the FG Formula 1 has some competition for top spot on my favorite 1/5 list. I guess now I have a favorite 2WD and 4WD. For whatever reason I just really like the 1/5 on-road cars.

The only thing that surprised me was looking at pics and seeing Phillip's head hardware on the Rally. If I am going to drop $1000+ on a 1/5 vehicle I expect them to spring for hex.

The integy cable brakes on the 5b's are actually pretty good! As long as you get the V3's as the earlier ones totally sucked.--Josh

yeah, but.... hydraulic brakes would be soooo cool.

It's too bad the front wheels don't have enough traction to lock the front tires and do a brake stand. That would be cool.

nice find bondo. That's a 44mm motor stock so the 2028 should fit.

it's always about girth with you

on second look the diameter of the 2028 would probably fit but the length never would.

A leopard 5692 would probably fit.

There's no way the stock brushless setup will hold up.

I love the bodies they use on the Huraxx website!

That is a beautiful ride.....almost had to break out the lotion when I was looking at the suspension......it is truly a functional work of art. I love precision machined aluminum parts.

Hookers and rc cars share too much in common,the prettier and cleaner both are the more expensive they get,but damn is the 2k worth it in the end!
