I did have about 6 onroad cars at one time. Nitro of course. I do like the on road and maybe its not a bad idea to have one of each. But I do have a set of hostile slicks for the 5t ?
New 5th scale suggestions

Ive gone through the European route before with my marder. Ddm is basically the go to but even they don't have everything. Then you gotta buy from hobbythek and that's expensive. If I was euro it be contrast or rs5 (I think I'm getting that wrong)
These are bad a$$

The lse pops its shocks off the upper fixings ?
so need an up grade kv5tt fixed . New lower front arm = more clearance. New diff and rear axle inners ? they have listed all the im pavements

Do you have off-road track near you? Another idea is to run 2wd and see what your really made of
Not true

Nope no tracks. Id have to travel to the next state to the north,west or south of me to get on a track. Ive also looked at this. Any input? Any upgrades for them?

How's the platform? What are we looking at with speed? If I go onroad it would be a speed run type of deal as again no tracks. Nj sucks our idea of fun is the beach apparently. Anything inland is really whatever you make of it
I would go mcd and for the sportline all you really need is alloy engine mount and kill switch all that other stuff is not necessary

Oh your in NJ! Wagner park rc track my man. They come out here and our crew goes there.
Everyone runs the sportslines. Solid car for our needs. We ain't in any grand euro competitions. You'll eventually make it into a evo 2020 as you upgrade. Platform is tough and proven. Maybe nothing crazy like a contrast or rs5 but it'll get you over 80mph if that's what you want. Again though, all the good upgrades are gonna be purchased from hobbythek just remember... Like diffs, servo plates ect...

I'll have to check that out. I would like to race one of my rigs. 80mph on a 5th scale sounds fast enough for me if I want it to survive lol. And I honestly think I'm going to buy the fg ive always been attracted to the on road. I love my 5ive t but it would be nice to have a change of surface platform

My marder with plenty more left in her. If she can break 70 the Sportsline can break 80-85mph

Yeah. Nothing crazy under the hood. Esp modded crankcase with a obr 27.2cc head kit. She's capable of 90+ for sure. 26/38 gearing, nothing special

No offense but the camera does the GPS no justice lol. If you didn't have the GPS on it I wouldn't believe it. Or my beer goggles are just acting slow right now

If you have any interest in f1 I have a Sportsline I'm looking to sell. I would recommend against it but if you like f1 the wagner crew runs them too.
It's ok, 70 really isn't that fast anyways. I've seen fgs do over 100mph
