Anyone had any experience w/ any 1/5 or 1/6 scale vechles? I'm interested in getting one and am prepared to spen 1000 - 1200 on it but the only one that I can ssem to find is the Monster Buggy from traxxass and it looks a litle weak. Can anyone suggest any other giant scale trucks or buggies and your experience with them if youve had any? :cheers:
 
1/6 buggies are damn difficult to drive due they are 2WD, you have to be patient if you drive in packed surfaces, otherwise once you get the drving skills they are cool and cheap to mantain, I think FG has released a 4WD version but I've not tested it, Carson has released a copy of the FG Marder and then you have the other brand models, Lauterbaucher,Harm and Crojet, We are building the first 3 prototipes of a new car but they will not be available untill the end of September and it will not be on the market untill the end of the year, probably the FG Marder is the best option for you. Regarding the Traxxas I have no experience with it but I've not heard very good things about it.
 
XTM Racing just came out with a 1/5 or 1/6 buggy (Can't remmemer which) It costs around 700-800. I have no experience with larger scale R/Cs but I have have had experience with XTM. XTM is great quality and you shouldn't have any problems with it. Just a little info, no experience with this buggy.
 
Got a linky to the XTM buggy? Also, does anyone know what they use for diffs on the New Era MT or what would work in its place?
 
I think Duratracks just came out with a 1/5 buggy I dont know the price but check there web site for info.
