how come there is no clone of the FG MT or MCD MT or is it the FS trucks ? it took them a long time to get the 5b clones to the standards they are today , id be cautious of the 5T clone for a while .

Anybody got any pics or a link to these T's

heavytrevy

Most of the problems have been ironed out ,5B and 5T share 90% the same parts, all that different are the side gards, bumper, towers,wheels ,Body and a different diff ratio .

I recon they may be a good buy .

Trev

splcrazy

does the different diff ratio make it faster or slower compared to the real 5b

heavytrevy

Bout the same cause the 5t runs taller tires.(btw I have a real 5T)

the fleabay link shows 599 and 229 for shipping..well its definitely not a clone..it looks totally different from the 5T.

Wow, um... I'm gonna wait for some reviews. That 4wd system looks um... well... interesting?

Ballistic Lunacy

The dual belt drive looks very well done to me, and tucked well out the way from any possible harm. That said the drive line on any 4WD is never efficient and that thing especially (the price for so many pulleys and tensioners) its got to loose about 30% through the drive line alone.

splcrazy

ive seen this before even before the 5T was invented , is this the matrix lol its like de ja vu if i spelt that correct

clubin

Looks like some one who repairs vaccum cleaners converted it to 4x4. I could immagine how in efficient that drive is, those belts need to be a little tight. I don't know. I am curious to see one go though.

speedy.d

back in the day , i had a schumacher cat that i spent my hard saved money for, spent hours assembling it. on the first run in a parking lot the belts gave and destroyed the pulleys.the end result was it cost more to repair it than it did to buy it. since then anything belt driven has left an uneasy feeling with me.

Foxy

Actually, that belt system is likely to be highly efficient. The pulleys don't cause much friction if the bearings are good, but the important thing is that the power NEVER has to go through a right angle. On gas shaft drives, the power goes through THREE right angles before geting to the ground. Right angles REALLY sap the power.

The concern I have is that it's on a Baja 5b type chassis that was never designed or balanced to be 4wd (it's a pure rear wheel drive beach buggy, long nose, wide stance, heavy rear (for rear traction) and light front, to bounce over the dunes and bumps). It's like saying 'I want an orange, but I only have lemons. I know, I'll paint a lemon orange.'; it looks like an orange, but under the skin it's still a lemon. If it was that easy, the kamitiro kits wouldn't have sucked like a $10... Anyway, we'll see, I could be completely wrong, I'm just surprised, given that they had the know-how to develop a 4wd system, they didn't have the know-how (or inclination) to develop a specifically designed platform to put it on.
