Just figured I would start this to get a good idea of which 1/5 electric RC's are on top right now, and what mods they need out of the box.

My favorite is my Losi DBXL-E 2.0. I love the size, the handling, the durability, and how awesome it looks. The only modifications I have done to are replace the stock servo, which is absolute garbage, and the tires. The wheels/tires are not the best either. The wheels cracked after the first 2 runs and the tires started ripping on the fourth run. I replaced them with some DDM Mad Max Giant Grip tires and will never go back. This truck jumps well too. I keep it on the stock pinion and am able to send it flying through the air and am also able to make in air corrections.

Don't forget Arrma. The Kraton is a 1/5th.

The kraton 8s is smaller then the smallish dnxl-e and is only 1/5 scale in its name. I've had big 1/8 scales that are barely smaller then a kraton.

You got the kraton, outcast, some consider the xmaxx a 1/5 scale, might as well throw 1/6 scale in there too. The super baja rey, super rock rey, UDR...

The dbxle is a cool rig. I’ve only heard positive things about it. (Besides it being electric of course

The Axial Yeti XL was my largest "1/8" scale. Poor design, but it was a fun buggy

That was my first brushless rc I had the kit version was fun truck but needed some upgrades. Ended up selling couldn’t get into the whole E thing. Was planning to give E another try got to drive a losi 5b this weekend running 12s fell in love with the losi but still can’t get into the E cars unfortunately.
 
I do enjoy my Arrma Infraction when I run it, it’s my only e-word RC. Pretty entertaining watching puffs of smoke coming from the tires, but even that gets expensive.🤣

My 5t 2.0 was awesome straight outta the box with a VRC pipe. It has held up well to some very aggressive bashing. I enjoyed it so much I bought a 1.0 I am doing a custom build with.

I had a small issue when the clutch bell cracked but Horizon sent me a replacement no questions asked! Great customer service.

With the gearing in it right now in the 130's . The gearing app I have says the 150's on 8's . We'll see once I find a good spot to run it.

I think my Mojave EXB with max6/1650kv is about as fast as I want to go. I can barely keepmthat thing on the ground. Not sure what the speed is, but it is definitely my fastest RC.
