Large scale RC

[abh16]

Loving my 8s outcast and would like to add another large scale rc. Came across this craziness. FID RACING VOLTZ 1/5. Thoughts? Way overboard? https://www.furyrc.com/product/fid-...ectric-4wd-off-road-desert-truck-transparent/

Looks heavy and unreliable. IMHO

Also looks overpriced. I'd look into a Losi DBXL or Super Baja Rey.

I’d rather go this route.

The videos of the gasser version that I've watched the rig likes to roll over in turns . To keep it from rolling over you need to add 1 to 1.5 in hub extensions. Lot's of bling that's for sure. To expensive for my blood. Batteries are going to be expensive for that thing.

No different than any other 1/5 rig

I wouldn't know. My 1/5 Scale is a gasser. But I do know the batteries for the 1/8th scale hydro were expensive.

The DBXLE 2.0 is a great rig. Check it out.

+1 for the DBXLE 2.0.
It is an awesome rig ..... very stable as stock. Added 1" hub extensions to run wider tires - it handles the heavier tires just fine.
8S so you can drop in your existing batteries.

Ive never heard of that model FID makes some nice stuff though. I've seen some videos of the Dragon Hammer and that seemed pretty nice.

Have you looked at the 30 Degree North DTT-7? It's a Losi 5IVE-T clone https://www.fearlessrc.com/product-tdn59001-7

Is there anything similar to the 1/5 rovan buggy that is electric?
