As soon as Mike has the CC combo I will order it from him:yes:

Yessssss me likey carbon fiber. If I could ever get off storm work I want to order a full snr graphite kit for my rc8b. Not exactly sure how much lighter it is bit it's definately sexier! Keep us posted the 5b should be a wicked platform to harness the castle power about to be unleashed on the masses.

so how fast does that thing go?????
How far can you control it??? is it any fun?
just jokin! Looks good! :intello:

Nice start.
 

Well thats a nice start Harold. I look forward to seeing how this works out for you. I know you are not the type to go half a$$ on a project like this one. I expect that we shall see a real jewel in the making. Good luck with your plans Harold. Have fun and don't break the bank. You still have to eat ya know.

OMFG Cant wait to see more Harold.. EDIT; Keep your panties on i was reffering to the 1/5 scale

Yes, the part of Harold you wish to see is about 1/5 scale compared to the norm. At least that is what Hippie says, and knowing how he likes dudes I will have to defer to his considerable experience. Jerry was not satisfied either, so it must be a bit small.

Leave me out of this :lol:.

Small parts.
 

Yea its funny how people always say that it is easy to read between the lines. It seems that there is only one person here talking about Harold's small 5b parts. So if the shoe fits? Go for it James. I guess you have moved on from the monkey's and midgits, to chaired people.

I value your expert seasoned opinion Jerry (that was good, got you twice in one sentence) but I think I will stick to the ladies, and leave the rest to you and your capable hands...

And they prefer to be called "little people", cause they are people too, you know. And little people have big feelings.

As far as monkeys go, well, I will not go there. Shawn (tdc57) can chime in on that if he ever returns...

Linc and Harold's shenanigans always have to do with you.
You can't opt-out of it!
:lol:

*subscribed*
I'm diggin the carbon fiber..

Your just happy linc is giving your buns a rest:lol:

Is this going to be a shelf queen or a runner?
Looks awful pretty at moment.
Match it up with some RCM aluminum parts for a real beaut.

If he does, it will be one pricey 5E for sure

The CF frame looks great, no need to put these beasts on a diet, they can weigh 30 lbs and still wheelie like mad!!!

please put some aluminum ribs on the bottom of that chassis! cant stand to see it get worn away :(


Good start though!

:)
