Because they are both bad-ass!
I guess he might have in mind to sell one and keep the other. If I could make consistent and precise RCs as these two, I would definitely do that and try to see if I could sell them as my own version I guess. Well, that is if the costs are not to prohibitive; Trevor Simpson engines by themselves are not cheap.

Beautiful machines. Just out of curiosity, why did you do both builds the same?
Beautiful machines. Just out of curiosity, why did you do both builds the same?
i just recieved my package from DDM with the kill switches and hostile 19/55 gears so ill put them in and see how it goes and do another vid . the day before i did this vid the irridium spark plug in the 5b with the chrome pipe crapped out , and i changed it for some other used plug and that 5b ended up running like crap.
Also that 5b with the chrome pipe is the newest and everything is still tight the bearings dont flow as fast yet , the diff especially is brand new still , alloy diffcases and alloy gearbox still have new grease, im waiting for summer to come i cant wait .
ive been thinking about selling the 5b with the chrome pipe but serously i wouldnt even be making a profit , and i wouldnt even be getting all my money back that i spent on it , unless i get a serious buyer thats willing to pay at least minimum $4,500 .

RE: my 5b vids round two
you think thats a lot of money to spend my fg beetle with all the builds i have done and the new cad four bolt engine i got from germany recently plus its complete elcon alloy plus two airbrushed shells..costing me prob double that .........
worth it though. look what we have for it.
best of luck with sale.
