i own one and tbh it is very durable but i doubt it will handle a big bore, the stock drivetrain holds up to any small bore perfectly fine so i dunno but you would most likely need a full losi drivetrain to cope with a big bore
What engine does yours have? What’s a good engine for it?
mine still has the clone 29cc in it but i know @KevTrem has been running a g320 in his for i think over 20 litres of fuel now on the stock drivetrain and ive heard him say before that one of his mates runs an obr 34 reed in it on stock drivetrain.
I gotcha so Losi or McD would be better to go with
if you got the cash for a losi go for it and you'll never look back because whilst i run one and its pretty decent quality, far better than rovan or km thats a fact its still not on par with a losi and never will be
I agree that Losi is probably your best option but the mcd take a proper beating. I race on some of the roughest tracks you’ll ever see and they are more durable than the losi (I’ve owned both). The Main reason I advise people to get Losi especially in the USA is because Parts availability is poor for mcd and everyone and every company Carrie’s parts for losi. If you live anywhere else like uk, Canada mainland Europe or Australia than mcd is the rig to get
My w5 hasn’t cost much to maintain. A arms and hubs really. A new body after over a year, a couple shock rebuilds and replacing rubber components. I’ve spent less on this w5 than I did building and maintaining my losi
Mcd parts come from cardinal in Canada, Taylor rc in uk or rcfox in Germany. If I need a pull start I can get one from Ddm in 2 days. If I need a set of wheels from cardinal he’s expensive and i may be able to get what I need in 2-4 days if I pay $50 shipping or 5-8 or more if I pay around $30 (free shipping with larger orders). Taylor rc is reasonably priced but he doesn’t hold much stock. it could be 2-14 days to get the parts. Rcfox is by far the best prices but the slow boat takes 14-20 days to arrive. On Long Island between me and Scott we have enough parts to build a couple rigs from scratch so it’s easy to keep running but that won’t be the case for most people.
It’s like $10k to become a dealer and then you need to make a $20k starting order
I’ll race your x max right now and I’ll give you $10,000 if I loseGo ahead n call me idiotic , but myself I would get them all , once I have a 30°north I'll be completed ! But there all good rigs I've been up close with them at our track , but !!!! It still comes to what a sneaky driver you can be , hell I'd give anybody a good challenge with my freeeeekn x max
deal
If I win you have to light your x max on fire
