Too bad HPI buys the engine from the Chinese CY. I personally would prefer the Zenoah engine. For the price, the CY engine should have made the 5T much cheaper on the shelf. I therefore am not impressed with its price.

Funny how the 5T costs like $1300-1400 USD, I say an FG truck or buggy WITH Zenoah 26cc for like $1300 USD also.

As for teh radio, I already have a high dollar race grade one, so if I ever get into teh market for the 5T, I hope HPI will have made a kit form without electonics. Actually, I would like to see a roller kit so I could skip the CY "Fulie" and get a Zenoah engine instead.
