I'm looking to get a 1/5 onroad gasser... Unfortunately I can't anywhere near afford it right now.., but - though I'm obviously way more into offroad - lack of cool bash spots is driving me more and more onroad...
Here's a short clip of some gassers at a local track. This track is public, and in the middle of a BEAUTIFUL, huge, green park - 10 minutes from me....

Unfortunately, I was told that, for a good one, you have to reckon with €1200 to start - WITHOUT a body - which costs €130 itself... They had some pretty huge wrecks too - was impressed to see how tough they are... Anyway, gas has a certain appeal. Tank her up and run - for 30+ minutes!! These guys'll spin out on the other side of the track, and just have a smoke and chat to a friend while the thing's just sitting there running.. No prob at all...
And here's me running my little Kyosho last weekend.. Not thrilling to watch or anything, but was actually good fun...:

I just don't think there are any 1/5 gas trucks out there right now that really appeal to me.. I really do believe HPI will come out with a 1/5 scale Baja Savage.. Only question is when.. The idea just makes too much sense.....
