Default 1/4 scale long travel off road car

new era was the last manufacture of large 1/4 scale cars. with welded frames simular to yours. The market has diminished geratly do to the high price tag on their cars. they're no longer avaible. Starting cost for a basic kit was $1200 for a belt drive kit to $7000 for the top of thr line monster truck. They did have a dune buggy for $1200.I build and design my own 1/4 cars and trucks with welded frames.People really like my work but do'nt like the price tag.Mcd is the newest line of 1/5 cars and trucks with one platform for their line. you can get a buggy for $900 all the way to top line hummer for $2200 All cars are 4x4. I believe the motor your using is 22cc mac. That motor will not power that car to 50mph with good torque. I tried a 32 cc mac and it had no power with the right gearing to even get it close to 50 mph. It had no power. The truck only weight 30 lbs. If you want ths buggy to really move get a Zenoha G230.
