The truck is an FG Monster Beetle Pro, 26cc, 4hp (that's 4 REAL hp for you nitro guys ), rear wheel drive, 1/5th scale, 25lbs/12kilos. Has a top speed around 45mph, but is made for torque.

The buggy is the newly released Smartech Thunderbolt, with a special 23cc race tuned engine, 4wd, 1/5th scale, 25lb/12kilos. Top speed around 50mph, but less oomph than the FG.

Jumping these things is NOTHING like jumping a nitro, it's a lot more difficult (very little air control), and a lot more expensive if you get it wrong (FG has over $2000 in it). I'm building confidence and getting the technique down, so they will get bigger and better.

This location is North Athens, Greece, and the music is Joe Satriani - The Extremist. Enjoy... don't forget to watch in high quality (click link under vid. )

Status: online 		i wish i could get a 1/5 gasser. but the cheapest iv seen are $600. thats almost as much as iv spent on a vxl/drift car and rock crawler combined! and, while that one is not as nice as the ones in your vid.

Status: offline 		Thanks, it is great fun, but very difficult to control with all that power and RWD. Still, what's life without challenges!
