Default 1/5 scale on road bodies.

Where can you buy 1/5 scale on road bodies? I am looking for lemans style or anything exotic or unique.

You might start with HobbyThek (http://www.rc-car-online.de). They sell a ton of large scale on-road stuff.

That Ferrari almost makes me want an on-road. Didn't Ferrari make FG stop using their likeness and name?

On road is no fun

on my 3pk i set it up so i could hit the front brakes, and be able to burnout...
so i locked the front brakes, i hit the throttle, car starts moving forward and accelerating, while the front wheels are locked up...i think i needed to put like few bricks on the front end

That's a shame that FG and Ferrari couldn't strike a deal so that FG could continue to make the 360 or a F430 shell. You'd think Ferrari would charge something small or nothing at all just for a little extra publicity for their brand.

Maybe FG did the shell without an agreement and Ferrari shut them down on principal.

Love those wheels on the Mercedes. Where did you get those? Here are some photos of my spinners. We took the 40 series proline spinners and cut the adapters down to fit. It was very simple really.
