4wd 1/5 scale cars....educate me please...what are some things I should know?
I am very interested in trying a large scale gas car or truck. I would prefer a 4wd but a 2wd is cool too. Not much into the buggy look.
Who makes a durable car with hop up potential? I saw a PB Dart for sale that was converted to 4wd in the FS forum, any input on that?
Thanks,
FastMover

FG eco-line would be a good place to start as it is the cheapest and can be hoped up easily. I would go for the FG super trucks

Anyone have some pivs of the large scale trucks or cars I look at to see if something strikes my fancy? I want something 1/8 at a bare min. because as with airplanes the bigger they are the easier they are to see at a distance and control (plus I hate paying for glow when a gasser will fit.)

Yes. the fiat above it is the same model in better conditon. Besides I am not really into the 1/5 scale stuff. Its too small. Besides, I have gotten a couple more 1/4 since that pic and need the space.
