What kind of F1 is that? FG?

OH yeah--- I raced in the F-1 class-- their a BLAST!!!! Unfortunately, my car broke right before the final and I couldn't find a part for it in time. But they are VERY fun to drive--and look very cool and realistic on the course!!!
It also only cost me about $300-- for 3 days of racing in parts/fuel and tires.
So it's pretty reasonable when measured against any 1/8 scale size cars.
FYI

PATRICK!! Sup Brah?? How yah been?

Yeah, I would definitely get an F-1. Well worth the money. As big a fan as I am of F-1, these cars would be a wet dream. Imagine, having a nice dream of racing and the hot babes at the podium... ahem... racing!!!! Then you wake up and see one of these on the table and you can have a smile ear to ear.

Get some gas, grab the remote, then go RACING!!! I'm sold. I'm gettin one oh deez!!! And since they are FG, did the person get the detail kit for the body as well? The car looks amazingly gorgeous.

I just like everything about them. Their size, power, type of engine, looks, resembles full scale more with some models..etc...

Here's my new HPI Baja 5T that came in today......

But the pictures of the Baja 5T is also another reason. Any pictures of the truck with the shell off?

Those F1 cars are awesome looking. The detailing is amazing!

I think I will own a Baja 5T or a clone when I find a job again. They look so fun!

I think the only drawback to 1/5th scale, and it's a big one, is the price!

Thumbs up

This video was from earlier this afternoon after I broke in my new 5T. I was driving the 5T and my wife was driving the new Blitz.
