atom3624 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 This body might fit it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Radio-Control-Fifth-Scale-Dodge-Ram-Body-1-5th-R-C-FG-HPI-/321530096282?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4adcafea9a I was after it for my FG MT, but it really is for a 535 mm wheelbase +/- and is 965 mm long, 380 mm wide I think - got frustrated and deleted his reply.

Tug Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So it's basically a 2wd SC? What motivated you to go that route? Is 2wd your preference? I like both, 2wd for the rewarding challenge and 4wd for "point and squirt" ease. It's looking great so far, how many parts are unique? (Specifically made for this) How hard to get replacements if needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC1Gary Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I like the look and handling of the losi but 4wd is boring and predictable not to mention servicing 3 diffs and having 6 dog bones to replace all the time The parts that come with the kit should be easy to get hold and replace And its different how many 5t have you seen wheelie?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That in itself will be a very interesting thing to see. If you don't mind me asking, what did the kit part of it actually cost from the US? Only reason I ask is it'll be interesting to see what it costs you in total against say a 4WD roller, not including the cost of the engine of course.

Oh How Original Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 And what all does that include? Obviously chassis, but what else do you get? You may have mentioned, sorry for asking if you did lol, just didn't see it on the previous pages. (presume all the parts in the first post though?)

RC1Gary Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Not much to be honest Chassis Rear upper brake plate Rear shock tower Rear chassi/engine brace Set of steel shock bottoms And a coulple of other small bits But its all a1 perfect fit Edited October 24, 2014 by RC1Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 As long as it's enough though, then it's not too bad, if you compare it to say a stock chassis in the UK, with those extra bits, I imagine it wouldn't be too far out price wise. Especially when you've got two less diffs to buy lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What about weight bias front to rear? Will the engine be much further back, if at all, compared to a stock 5ive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
