I would not even dare putting a substandard radio on any true rc car, more so on a 1/5 scale.

Additional website to check is http://www.fg-america.com

Hi Dezodaz,

Always use a transmitter on the FM frequency for the 1:5 cars and combine it with a failsafe. Be sure to use strong servo's: for steering Hi-tec 5735MG and for the throttle/brake at least a Hi-Tec 945MG. The best tyres on the market are the PMT Kronos series. If you need anything for your FG.....we deliver all FG parts and Tune Parts from stock...take a look at our website : http://www.netshop.nl/shop/rc/index.html and if you have any questions, mail me: [email protected]
