How Many Fifth-scale Rc Vehicles Do You Own? How Many is Enough?

[Harold Bascom]

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?

Hey you painted the red cat! Looks great!
And I own one... good enough for now.

Long time @Harold Bascom ???
I have 4 but I don't think I'll stop there?

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.

I might get me that FG Formula 1 and stop at 3.

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 .

Here you go. It's going to take me a while for this one. https://www.largescaleforums.com/threads/so-as-i-impatiently-wait.24813/

5 here.

1, and I want a second Baja

 

[Bluetickduke]

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

 

[Jshaff16]

2 1/5s here

 

[blackrain]

5 total

 

[John Parks]

You can really never have to many, I have 2 pretty built ones at the moment and adding a third in a week or 2

@Harold Bascom love the look and improvements to the Red Cat.

Check out Genius Racing for another choice of the F1 platform.

As for the answers to your questions, I currently own one 1/5 scale. How many is enough is subjective. So nobody truly knows.

Sick rat rod
I personally don't like the looks of the bajas at all.

[Striikar]

I'd say how much room do you have or what the other half will tolerate and how fat are your pockets.?

 

[DougStar]

fat are your pockets.?

Yes that??????

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.
