Between those 2, go with the 5ive T. Better aftermarket support. Better build quality. Better truck all around.

I'm looking at the 5B buggy myself https://hobbiesdirect.com.au/TLR-15...AHc3MzMGgE7Dufq6cxhIfK1hikdA_cVsaApCGEALw_wcB

+1 for the 5ive B.
I assumed kpr was looking at rtr trucks, not kit/build it yourself trucks.

Must admit I never thought of that.
I'd rather build myself so I get to know it and know it's done right.

You are going to need to get servos, transmitter/reciever and engine if you go the 5ive B route.

Yep you do.
Total cost here in Aus comes to about $3000 but a 5T costs $2500 so not a big deal when you consider you can choose exactly what you want from the start instead of doing upgrades along the way.

Dear Members,
Any 5th scale owners living in the Sunrise Florida area.
I have found very good areas to bash on well kept grass with jumps and large smooth ashfault lots with no car stops or other obstacles to race. Anyone out there what to race?
Best Regards and Happy New Year.
