Hey Doug ?????? theres nothing wrong with a dbxl, properly modded that is. In truth if I had a do over I would have got a 5ive T. But the dbxl has been decent since its had all the goodies.

You guys are not helping me with my decision. Being in the U.S., MCD isn't an option. Think there is like one distributor and very little spare parts availability.

I'm a big fan of FG Modellsport Road cars, but not the off-road models.

Ok then I'd say losi 5t 2.0 ?

 

[DougStar]

5t v1.5 or the 2.0?? still more aftermarket spares now for the V1??

Dbxl or 5ive t. The dbxl will be cheaper and you can sell off the boat anchor engine to recoop some costs. The 5ive t will be better out of the box. Till your done spending money on it you'll have about twice what you can sink into a dbxl. Having said the yes the 5ive t is the better platform. But if your just bashing, on a budget, and have no intentions of racing. The dbxl will serve you well. (If I had a do over right now and a decent budget I would get the 5ive t 2.0)

Yeah, I think from the input from you guys my choices are narrowed down to the 5T or DBXL. I just need to decide which. I do prefer the look of the Buggy over the Stadium Truck, wish someone made better body options for the 5T, such as a rally car, dakar truck etc.

 

[DougStar]

[evssv]

To muddy the water you can get a Dakar body from grafil for the dbxl too.

Next time I feel like blowing money on the dbxl I'll be riding one of these
