RE: which one?
There are various 1/5 scale onroad manufacturers out there. You need to do a little research so you can decide which is best for you and which you can afford.
BTW People have done burnouts with 1/5 onroaders before so it can be done, but remember tires are quite expensive.

RE: which one?
You need to specify more than just the need to do Burnouts.
Cheapest car is most likely the Smartech/Carson C5 Onroad car, and depending on gearing and setup, it should do burnouts as easy as the FG's it is a clone of.
Then you can go for the FG Sportsline or the other FG's
There is also brands like Technokit, Berganzoni, Lauterbacher and several others.
Pricing starts at around € 700 for a Carson RTR, no upper limit......

RE: which one?
MCD makes a 4WD 1/5 Rally car series, but getting that to make burnouts on 4WD is going to be tricky.....
Most of the newer 1/6 and 1/5 scale petrol powered RC cars uses Zenoah G230RC/G260RC or clones, and can be upgraded to 27cc or 29cc without problems.
I have heard rumours about an 8.5Hp 33cc kit, but haven't been able to find any info.

RE: which one?
You wanna do burn outs
get some front hydro brakes, take off your rear brakes, lock up the front and give it gas, alittle oil under the rear tires never hurts

FG Comp EVO2
Speaking of Hydraulic brakes, the ones on that car will be going up on ebay along with carbon fiber rotors in a day or two. My reserve will be way low since I just want to unload them. They work great but I need to shed some weight so I'm switching to cables.

RE: which one?
It requires independent brake mixing/channels and strong front brakes such as hydraulics although cable brakes can accomplish the same stopping force if the servo is strong enough.

RE: which one?
I have seperate master cylinders for front and rear brakes. That way I can adjust the balance from the radio on the fly. It's the only way to go as once your tires heat up and get more grip, you have to re-adjust the brakes to get max performance.
