In my rc garage there are two: One Rovan Baja 5b Buggy with a Rovan 30.5cc engine started with a Killer RC power start, and a Redcat Rampage XR (converted to a vintage, open-wheel racer) with a Rovan 36cc engine, also with a Killer TC power start. The buggy is for off-roading, the Vintage racer is for parking-lot running.

Do I need another? Seeing I'm an F1 fanatic. I might get an FG F1 model and trick it out to look like Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes.

But how many fifth-scale rc vehicles is enough, and how many do you have?

I didn't only paint it, but modified the body. I added a fin aback the driver figure's head. First, it had a Zenoah G290RC engine; now it has a 36cc Rovan engine with a Walbro 813 carb, and man! It flies! Lol.

Harold your back ! How you doing? Good to see you back. And the Red Racer #7 looks great.

To answer your question 1 1/5 scale . But I also have 4 boats of various sizes and I have 1 1/8 scale Hydro I'm building. Oh and 1 DJI Marvic Mini drone .

I'm doing great, my brother. ? Hey, I'd love to see a picture of that "1/8 scale hydro". My curiosity is peaked.
 
I have 4, 1/8 nitros and my losi 2.0t

The nitro side is more addictive cause their considerably cheaper. To the point I've seriously considered trading for 2,3 nice smaller ones.

Their a blast but man are they expensive
 
Assembled and running, 4, Vekta and 3 HPI Baja 5T/SCs. I also have a HPI Baja 5B and 2 Baja 5SCs large plastic tubs still needs to be assembled. I'm not close to being done. I will most likely get a Losi 5ive B and if I am able to find a new Losi 5ive T 1.0 or will settle for a Rovan LT450 by the end of the summer. The KV5TT will most likely have to wait until next year.
