what's your guys thought on this, i'm looking for a 4wheel drive 5th scale that's not going to kill my bank account. i already have a hpi baja 5b ss and a t, so i thought i might get a 4x4. let me know what you think of it, thanks

The firehammer MT is 2 wheel drive and I have a chinese clone of it. I like the truck and it take a beating. I have a few hop ups on it and I like it.

im confused, the title of this thread is firehammer. the firehammer is a 2wd truck.

speedy.d

if you want 4wd there are several to choose from fs, redcat, and smartech.

sorry guys, i thought it was/is a 4x4. so what would be a good one to get? i'm not looking to really go crazy hear, just a solid or close to as i can get. without going nuts. i already have an extra 26cc motor(from my t), killswitch, remote set up. do you guys have any links? thanks a million

sorry again, i changed the title to this thread to better help out

I would go either with the “Redcat rampage” or the “Smartech Titan”, the big advantage of the titsan is that it comes with a 28cc engine while the Rampage comes with a 23cc engine which might be too poor (almost everyone I now replaced them with a stronger engine, but the Titan one is relatively fine), both of them are 4wd and cost about the same price, you can get them for 750-800$

Rampage TT $619 shipped on ebay item##360135616676......

the CY 23 cc that comes in the rampage is better than the 28cc engine in the Titan/thunderbolt that is inhouse manufactured by Smartech .....The Smartech is a 3 bolt head...you cant change heads with our 2-4 bolt head upgrade kits

Watch out for the new thunderbolt buggies from Smartech and Nutech. The originals were pretty good, and the updates will be good value with viscous center diffs as standard and a few other improvements.

i like FS and dzy trucks.

redcat have mid engine so, it runs a bit different than fs (mid-rear engine).

If you want a good 4x4 and for a good price check out the hurricane c5 from VSmodelsprot. You really don’t have to worry about having to spend more money
On upgrades because it comes with pretty mush all the upgrades you really need to make it reliable to race or just bash. Check it out.
