HPI 5T vs the FG baja

[mhansen644]

HI, I everyone I have a FG Baja and thinking of taking it to my local 1/8 scale offroad track next week (track said I could) and Just run for fun by myself in hopes toget others into 1/5 or 1/6 instead of 1/8 But I was wondering if the HPI baja 5t truck would be better for the jumps vs the FG baja?
Anyone know? I may want to trade my FG baja for a 5t if that is the case.
thanks

I suppose its down to how each 1 is set up but the 5t's are very nice :cool2:

I think the 5T is better for jumping. Seems more level. Plus if you want to make your 5T a buggy its much less then the other way around.

I have a MB Pro, and my T flies better, lands better. My FG is very durable and fun, but I think the T is suited to track bashing better than the FG.

that said, the fg is shorter and might be able to transition an 8th scale track better... and you could always make it 4wd with a conversion

Thanks. I think I am going to get the 5t.
My fg baja is for sale on eBay now

The 5T is a very nice all-around rig.
