Hi all. My name is Guilherme Kato and I registered here today. I'm glad to meet you. Unfurtunally I'm from Brazil, and here, everything is expensive here. for your idea, one Duratrax Firehamme (Buggy) cost around 2000,00 USD.
I don't have a 1/5 scale RC car yet. But i'm looking for a Fs-Racing MT king Kong 4x2. Why 4x2? Because i don't have enough money to buy a 4x4 version xD. In the future, I will upgrade the servos, the gears, the aluminum upgrades and 4x2 to 4x4 convert kit. I learned much things on this excellent forum. per example the servo issues. Thanks all.

hi octane and welcome well just a thought for you you said that you will get the 4x2 well if i was you i would just wait till you have them money to get the 4x4 the thing is the 4x4 drive set up is not meant to be 2 wheel drive don't forget that this fs racing is a clone of the mcd black line and mcd have not and will not make this a 4x2 setup why you ask its because there will be to much power going to the back wheels and in no time the diffs and diff holders will self destruct i know this from experience and from my friend in Scotland who did exactly what you are thinking of doing in the long run he ended up paying to much for all the parts and was not a happy RC owner its just my opinion also i hope it works out when you order from fs racing manufacture as they don't tend to sell only 1 car alone but you can try and if it doesn't work out then like fs mt 4wd said you can use my name at xrover rc also know-en as sickboy of course or you can pm me
