xXDjrouseXx Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I’m just looking for the fastest petrol rc car out there I’ve looked at a couple brands I I like Baja but I’m not sure ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 The fastest RTR is probably an MCD factory spec but the fastest money can buy? Probably a Losi 5ive hybrid with an RCmax big bore. I hope you have very deep pockets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Fastest? Speed doesn't make you a good driver. Being able to negotiate bends, straights, jumps bumps and ruts is what makes a winning driver. You can have the "fastest" car on the track but unless you can drive then having the fastest car there is only going to slow you down. You get speed from RCs by upgrading engine parts and exhaust systems , it also helps if you fit quality bearings and radio system and know how to tune the motor correctly and like I said above.... Being able to control the RC is what wins races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Avoid the Rovan, not only will shipping be expensive, so will import duties and it'll be weaker and worse than a KM Baja you can pick up from Blackburn or get delivered from RCModelz. Would also avoid the G320, the G290 is more suited to a Baja, it revs higher and the G320 is really designed for torque and 4wd vehicles. Ran many different engines in Bajas over the years and my favourite combo is a G290 with a V2 Dominator. 18/56 gearing for a little more top end, job done Here's my old set up popping wheelies for fun, but wheelies are very overrated.

I only mentioned the G320 as they often appear on eBay on the cheap after being taken out of brand new 5ives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call for sure, but if he's putting it into a Baja, it'll then require different clutch housing as well, so it's more work and more expense. A cracking deal could potentially be had on Black Friday from DDM though, some years ago now, about 4 I think, I got a G290 ith a V2 Dom brand new for £198, including shipping and import duty, it arrived in 3 days as well. That's worth watching out for @xXDjrouseXx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
