oh yeah, like i said i don't anything about the 1/5 scales ,from what i have seen on youtube ,they look slow to me ,i'm going to stick with the 1/10's and the 1/8's
This looks slow to you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQHW2SPGb-U

That's my FG Hummer (26cc), and I made this video so I had a record of how fast it was before I go ahead and change the exhaust pipe (and a few other bits and pieces) this weekend, increasing the engine power by about 30%. After that, it's going to wheelie constantly. Gas cars are about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on, honestly. I used to race 1/10tha nd 1/8th, still race 1/10th nitro TC occasionally, but for fun, gassers can't be topped. Pull the string and go for 40 minutes on a tank of regular unleaded. No break in or maintenance to speak of, either. If you can afford them, they are one of the best ways to enjoy the hobby.
