to me it seems and looks like the 5t is a 5b with a few more plastic parts and a truck body. thats one thing i didnt like bout the 5b all that money for mostly plastic.

Crawler,

I'm in St Clair Shores and I have a FG Monster Beetle Pro that I am selling you might want to look at.
Not sure what you are looking to spend.

It has got a full alloy front end, hydro on the front brakes, etc...
It has 3 tanks of gas through it.

Only reason I am selling it is because we have some unexpecting medical bills and my wife is going through some major surgery right now.

I've got it on Craig's list (pictures) if you wanted to check or you can contact me direct.

There is an AMAZING amount of Michiganders with 1/5 scale. The numbers are increasing too.

i know alot of guys bought the 5b's from a local shop but i can never find anyone to run with. im debating now though if i can find a cheap beat up 5b , and modify it i might be happy with a 5b, but are there any guys with the fgs running road courses or are they all off road mts and buggys?? i was looking at the firehammer buggy and the fg buggy too. im stuck on a modified to hell and back 5b, fg race buggy or the fg f1

I was born in Ohio.

Let me know if you get one.
I had a HPI Baja and a FG Leopard Race but sold them.


The HPI Baja 5T is tempting me.

crawlercrazed

which one did you honestly like better ?? the fg or the hpi???

MsDarla

FG was awesome but heavy and expensive.

The HPI Baja was the 1st ones out that had a few issues.
Rear arms,shocks and motor went out on the HPI.

I will probably buy a HPI Baja 5T.

i didn't know ur into big scale car too[sm=what_smile.gif],how's goin with ur boats?

crawlercrazed

the motor took a dump on me too.... also the axles shafts broke with in the first week of owning it.

MsDarla

I try or have tried all areas of RC to distract me from my health issues (Crohns Disease).
The boats are alot of fun and very addictive for me. []

I also have back problems which now has me rethinking which hobby to stay with or try.
