Thats my goal in the next few years is to have a big big block setup, I however want to do it all myself piece by piece.

Either way if I had the funds and this showed up, I wouldn't have them anymore! ??

I seen your Facebook post but definitely make sure you post videos! It's been amazing weather here for driving lately!

I was originally going to buy a bone stock 5T 2.0 with rcmax 65cc in and build it up myself but the sale fell through and after pricing all this up I’m glad I did haha! I paid £500 extra for this one which is well worth it in my opinion

Few little bits got done today fitted the high flow fuel line & killer rc kill switch. A must for any 1/5th scale ? I went for the buzzer and LED as well because they’re only cheap.

Couple more bits nice Rcmax top brace & killer rc receiver lipo
