The British HPI-sponsored program RC Racing just ran a feature - perhaps 20 seconds - on the 5SC, so that's either a teaser, or it's here.

To repeat my question posed on the other thread, does anyone know if they're going to use the trailing arm suspension of 1/10 and 1/1, or just carry over the 5B, 5T chassis with very little change?

Is the body really wide, or are the arms narrower than on the 5B?

Al.

Very little changes have been made.The shell is just wider.The car is still a 5b with a shell on it.

Yep purely a marketing exercise. I reckon KM will stick with the T1000 and people will buy it over the 5SC.

Was gonna buy a T ,as it is my birthday in 3 weeks so gonna have the SC instead

Get a KM T1000 if you prefer that style over the 5SC and spend some of the money you saved on HPI hop-ups to make it bullet proof.

i like the 5sc but feel its not enough could and should be better whats hpi design team doing hardly design is it i know lets put some mud flaps and a short course body on it o and some bigger drive shaft and call it a new model and charge them more what a joke it could be awsome

Trouble is,by the time you pay import tax etc not a lot cheaper overall and it is a copy or clone,so at the risk of being labeled a snob just do not fancy it,will stick with the SC I think
