I said the fg are pants compared to any 5ive based platform. They genuinely are mate and im sure even you would rather have a 5ive or baja than your old FG's Thats like comparing apples and Oranges, Totally different RC's. Oh and a Leopard 4 will run rings round a 5ive on a track ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 An FG Leo that will do that will cost 3 grand. You can also spend 3 grand on a 5ive B setup to race and it will come down to driver skills. This is about a 650 budget. It's incredibly hard to argue that for that budget there is a better option than a 30DNT or DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont agree with the whole clone thing. If you opened a shop selling knock off Adidas trainers you would be shut down within a week. Dont see its any different selling knock off RC's . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one not so nice, But this one will only set you back £1000. The top one maybe, If your a racer, But the bottom one, A grand, For that, Come on, Without radio, How on gods green earth do you defend a grand for that, Worse than that, How do you defend 560 quid for this, And that £560 is without radio as well, £560 for what you see there, It's a joke price for a joke of a car, And from that picture, 10 years or more since I got shot of mine, They still can't even stretch to supplying a spur gear cover as standard.

Mack1 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I have just bought my first 1/5 scale car. Losi 5ive t. Bought second hand for £600. Doesn't need a thing doing to it just bought it and out thrashing it the next day. For your budget of £650 and wanting a 4x4 I reckon a quick look on shpock or gumtree will find you a 5ive t for £650 and I have seen 2 dbxl well within your budget leaving you with spare cash for the necessary upgrades that most people seem to do, more power lol.

Power means nothing unless you can drive your RC and a novice would soon notch up a fantastic repair bill . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARDER-MAN30 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I love FGs, always have done. All models have weak spots out of the box and once sorted they’re all fun, too many RC snobs in here 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyslayer Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 if I was starting again I would go for the 30dn truck. yes it is a losi 5ive t clone. but parts are cheap and readily available, and its is one of if not THE most supported platforms out there. you cant really go wrong. it all depends if you want 2wd or 4wd and if you like a buggy or truck.

hojoos Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Reliable yes, but an extremely out dated design. That would also get trounced by any 5ive or 30 DNT on any surface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
