Looking for a large scale electric car
Hello everybody. Earlier this year, I found a huge shaft-driven, electric RC touring car on the internet, but I cannot remember what it was and lost the bookmark I saved. Can you guys help spark my memory? If not, can you think of any very large-scale shaft-driven electric RC cars?
The one I am looking for appeared to be of decent quality, and it had a white supercar body. If I remember correctly, it did have some blue and/or purple anodized aluminum components. I think it was 1/4 or 1/5 scale, but it might have been 1/8. There were only two videos I found of it back then which I haven't been able to find recently:
One was in an Asian country on a race track that was paved black with green boundaries. It was the only car there, and it seemed to be somewhat professionally shot (not a spectators' view). I remember the guy crashed and a front wheel broke off.
The other video took place in front of somebody's house on a wet asphalt street.
I think the name had "fire" or "pheonix" in it, but I might be wrong. Or maybe it was FF.
I have searched the internet many nights in a row this week, but I have not been able to find it!

Hi. The site is FG Modellsports.com and they make 1/5 scale cards in 2WD and 4WD. Attached a photo of one
of their models. Hope this helps. Regards

Those are cool, but not what I am looking for. I want a huge, electric, shaft-driven, 4wd touring car. It was only in the $400-500 range too, so it was totally affordable for how big it was.

Hi Austin, What you are looking for does not exist in the market. Biggest on road cars are 1/4 scale and they are not 4WD. They are
Nascar rear wheel drive gas chassis. Anyway good luck on your search. Regards
