If money was no object, what 1/5 scale would you buy?
I am in a situation to treat myself to something and I pondered what would I pick up if money was a non issue in the consideration.
I am thinking an FG Baja Buggy 4WD Competition but was wondering what else is out there and looking for ideas.
If you could pick up a 1/5th scale and you had no budget limitations, what would you pick up?

I'd buy the MCD Trophy truck and the MCD Monster too,I just couldn't justify getting the Baja 1000 evo as my first truck,the shop i've ordered my Baja SS has them in stock with the painted Red Bull bodyshell with a 29cc CY engine for £859GBP,its £1075GBP for the combo kit.Its one for the future I think,
By the way,nice rig Clubin you lucky git you....

Thanks for the compliment. My wife doesn't have a clue what this stuff is worth. Worst part is I can't remember all the bs stories I told her. WOOPS. Congrats on the HPI good safe purchase, and a time proven RC.

If money where no object I'd reccomend an Elcon Cleon! It's the ultimate high end 1/5 scale buggy!
Here's mine! With a few extras!

Easy... if I was going to use it, an FG 4wd Baja comp, or a Hurrax Krypton. If I was not going to use it (shelf queen), then the FG comp F1 chassis is the one. The HARM F1 is also pretty damned impressive, if not more than the FG.

I think Foxy has got it! I think I would pick the Hurrax over the FG Baja 4wd even! They are going to be one car to look out ofr in the future of 1/5 off road racing. But the F1's are so cool as well, I like the RS-5 F1 the carbon chassis makes it more top of the class

For me I like the look of the Hormann Truck, for offroad. A competition FG Racing Truck for on-road, mainly because of how damn cool, and different they look.
A competition FG Monster would be nice with a set of Rockstar Beadlocks with the Monster slicks, would be a lot of fun also.

I would have to say for the track, an Elcon Cleon, for a basher, I would stick with the Baja with our yet to be released long travel setup. But money not being an issue, I would just build my own long travel 4wd with the works.
I have an on-road car, and there are just not enough places to run them, so ultimately, if I bought a REALLY high end one, it would be a shelf queen more than an actual runner.

I'm all about the Elcon Cleon. If it's durability is as good as it looks, it should be reliable as an anvil. Time to start savin'. Who sells them in the USA?
