RE: who else makes 1\5 trucks,cars and buggies?
imex will have any fs part you need and they have good pricing and great customer service. the rampages also have decent amount of parts support. if you buy an fs i would strongly recomend buying from imex as they have been in the rc industry longer than most of these large scale cars have been around. having companies like hpi, redcat(himoto),duratrax and imex is great for us, becuase the parts we need are there. personally i have an imex buggy that has been turned into a baja 1000 clone. reliability? i have yet to buy 1 part for it, but i do keep it clean (after running it) and check to make sure everything is still tight.(good advice for any rc but crucial for large scale stuff. i am running a 26 cy for now and plan on going up to at least 28.5. good luck on finding large scale. once you go gas its a blast!
