Next Project?

I have 2 big bore builds right now and I really want to build an outlaw twin but I need to stop myself and finally build something I can realistically run around my yard without the police showing up haha. This build isn't going to be insane over the top like my other 2 (That's probably a lie) but like I said this is a more realistic option if I want to go tool around in the back yard for a bit.

I think my top picks right now are either a MCD W5 or a Losi 5ive T. I'm even open to a 30 Degree North roller.

I have a G320RC sitting around I want to finally use. I will probably do a Rooster Tail 35 FULL MOD kit on it too. Maybe even do a Taylor 35 later on. Either way I want it to stay a small bore.

I'm probably one of the most indecisive people ever so looking for a couple pennies I can rub together.

W5 for sure

 

[GazooRC]

W5 for sure

I'm leaning more towards this also! The craftsmanship is beautiful!

I'm actually starting to like that 30d north buggy might be nice to beat around the house

Losi 5ive t. It's arguably been the most reliable 1/5 scale I've ever owned. Nothing really needed to upgrade for 32 and under cc engines. Sure, there are some useful upgrades but out of the box it's hard to beat.

I agree on the 5ive t, it's a tank and just a great platform.

I agree. The 5ive T is arguably one of the best 1/5 gassers. My only concern for myself is there is a lot of opportunity to upgrade and I’m afraid it’s going to go from a Zenoah to a Taylor and a ton of aluminum. that’s how my brain works lol
At least with a MCD I don’t really think there’s much possibility for upgrades other than a big engine

Yea because the mcd already comes with all of the upgrades depending on "trim" level... it's pretty much the same argument? If the 5ive t had an ultimate option wouldn't that be tempting lol. I have a stock 5ive for racing with a 34 esp and only aluminum chassis braces the rest is plastic, the other 5ive is a baller build and a 71cc Taylor, 3rd is a parts truck being built. So many options with a 5ive-t really.

Yea exactly! Thats why I think the w5 would be better for me and my tendency’s lol

 

[Rep732]

Well with tendencies like that I don't think the w5 is going to stay small bore for long lol

So what you’re saying is don’t even bother build something else.

No definitely do, i get the most entertainment and satisfaction out of building the rigs
