nitroazza Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 omg, perhaps that wont be happening.. In two minds wether to get a 5b or a FG Evo 4 touring car roller that a friend of mine is selling.. it has everything except radio gear and engine....

hebby Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Dont bother with the touring car mate cos once you decide you wanna go off road you knackered at least if you want to go on road with the 5B you just buy some tarmac busters and job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This will give you an idea of the complete parts list for a 5T conversion. All of it is genuine Hpi but things like wheels, tires, beadlocks, beadlock screws and foams you can get away with aftermarket parts. Main Chassis Parts Engine Guard # 85246 Body Mount Set Side # 85419 Stone Guard # 85247 Under Guard # 85425 5T Roof Guard # 85441 Body Mount Set FR/RR # 85417 Bumper Skid Plate # 85421 5T Bumper Guard Set # 85423 Wheels Front Wheel Black # 3331 Rear Wheel Black # 3336 Tyres Front Desert Buster Radial # 4437 Rear Desert Buster Arrow Tire # 4440 Inner Foams HPI Front Inner Foam Soft/190x60mm #4804 (Wheelspin Models, Part# not found on MMR) Rear Molded Inner Foam # 4818 Beadlocks HD Beadlocks # 3242 (you will need to order x2) Beadlock Screws Beadlock Screws x25 # Z340 (you will need to order x4) Bodyshell Baja 5T Clear Truck Body # 7561 Drive Gear HPI Drive Gear 19 Tooth #86482 (Wheelspin Models, Part# not found on MMR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are more places to drive on-road than there is off-road around near me... plus.. I do love touring cars.. But im unsure.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebby Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) hmm i see your point.. But there are more places to drive on-road than there is off-road around near me... plus.. I do love touring cars.. But im unsure.. even tho you have more options with an off road that can become on road than an on road that will stay an on road so what im saying is a 5b is 2 in 1 rather than the touring car that will stay a touring car as said all you do is slip a set of tar,ac busters on and hey presto you got a road racer 5 mins later its an off road dirt buster Edited May 30, 2012 by hebby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
