my e5b thread

[_paralyzed_]

so starts my journey into electric 5th scale.....

A $275 hpi carbon fiber chassis-











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

[slimthelineman]

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!

[JERRY2KONE]

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.

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.

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!!!

[brushlessboy16]

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


Good start though!

:)

Wow,subscribed! And if you could,can we get comparison weights as you replace Al with CF? Thanks!--Josh

[Jahay]
