It never went away...!

i have one sitting here im going to rip eventually. and i have the 10th scale baja rey that i love too. great rigs.

@@kpopRC oh man youre going to love it.. Only thing I wish they would change is the battery door, I feel the first version had a better design.. Other than that its pretty awesome.

i think the 5ive is a much different driving experience. RWD takes much more skill and actually makes you better 4wd driver.

​@@kpopRC preach my brother 🙌 you must learn throttle control with these 5th scale HPI Baja 2wd beast.

The 5ive-t has nothing to deal with the hpi baja. The 5ive-t is could have been really good (better than baja) if it was not completly out of shape. It’s to large and wheels are to small. The baja is so much fun to drive. I dream of a 5ive-t with good size proportion that make it looks like a real trophy-truck. (like the 5sc)

@@fxFRA27XLT wheels and that problem is solved.

I have both and absolutely love them both

very worthy of the list

thanks bud. there's a hole vid of that thing going together you should check out. happy holidays.

agreed! and og baja's are the shit!

@@kpopRC It definitely has been great fun over the years and paddled up it's at home in the sand! Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Still have my 2 OG HPI's one I converted to electric tired of the HOA complaining that it sounded like a mini dirt bike.

@@VQDE_RobLee lol, I've made my own pipes and one of them is louder than a 2strk 250cc dirtbike, yeah a bit obnoxious! Lol! HOA's 🤦‍♂️

take it out one weekend... ha. why not.

there's a whole episode about that on this channel, check it out!

the dbxl is actually a RCMK rebrand. i dont' want to put things in the list that aren't designed by the company they are sold as. Plus the rcmk version was WAY better. From what i hear the Vekta Kv6tt, is a very heavy truck, underpowered and is really only scale performance. that's why i didn't include it. but all good thoughts.

@@kpopRC dont tell the losi boys this, i said the same thing on facebook and i triggered the hive, they think caused its got losi on it its made by them, good to see and i 100% agree about the mcd

Thanks Jayson! Much appreciated! It'll go right back into the channel.

to be fair. i've seen some incredible scale rc's built from scratch. I'd say that's a whole other side to this hobby that's just as cool as these.

great deal sean. more into the trophy truck look than like starship troopers. but the black one looks really sweet!

@@kpopRC 😂 im not crazy about the body either. Thankfully bodies are an easy swap

yeah i caught it and left it. List videos aren't my bag. but they sure seem to do well.

oh I KNOW! lol. i'd take all of them. that vesla might be my first electric fifth scale.

@@kpopRC Definitely!

thanks man!

worth every penny.

I absolutely love mine. Such an amazing car to drive

HA, you're too kind. Witt? coming from a brit? That's high praise. There were a few errors in this video. and some flubs. I was just getting sick and had to pump out a video. but man! these list videos do really well.

Damn Mike! make it happen! i really hope you can smell that 2 stroke burn again.

i actually have a bunch of stock in battery companies that are developing sodium tech. right now. it's only for massive energy storage, or really small low amperage usage. for like pace makers and other medical devices. WHO'S to say if they don't make it more energy dense in the future though.

It's amazing how popular 2wd fifth scale is in Europe. There is nothing like that here. in fact when mcd's get sold here they end up with over powered engines and motors. and most end up just doing highspeed runs. Maybe one day some one will invest in a track suitable for this class here in America. All the rigs i've seen are intensely awe inspiring.

I raced 5th scale 10+ years ago in S. Cal. Most of the tracks went away. Still have a Technokit and a SVM.

yeah totally. i included the links for both in the description. i got all excited with a main deal on that other arma.

ha. it should be KPOSP. But the nickname given to me long time ago, was kpop. First initial, first 3 letters of last name.

hell no. first one doesn't even come with a body or tires. the second one is only a roller. body no paint and no engine or motor. These are race cars. search mcd racing on youtube to see what these are actually built for. they're not RTRs because they aren't meant for consumers so much as full blown 1/5 racing events. that are EXTREMELY competitive.

@@kpopRC regardless these two cars are very awesome I'm very interested in buying one I know I'm not a racer or competitive at all but it sure would be fun to play with one of these I think on the highway

nice! the savages are sweet. i have 3.

Check out Kev's (Talbot) build, $10,000 invested! 🤦‍♂️

i can never make it through a full video with that dude. not my jam.

doesn't hit me in the feels quite as much as the list. doesn't hit my top 5 for sure.

@@kpopRC He's an 'acquired taste'! 😉

yeah totally. looks interesting. 2 clutches? i wonder how it drives.

Rtr is $6500.00 when converted to US currency from Euro

great trucks. for sure.

everything in moderation i guess! She should buy you an rc car one of these days.

i'd never buy from a company that put my friends out of business by stealing designs. I'll NEVER promote rovan or king motors. bunch of crooks.

@@kpopRC absolutely agree 100%

i don't get the raminator appeal. FG sports line is great, but I don't think it would bump anything out of this list. in the 10 though for sure.

i have yankee. im not sure how much it's evolved over the last 10 years. I don't think it would hang with the others in the list. I think mayb in the 10 list. but i don't think it would kick any of these out. I don't get the appeal of the primal rc.

@@kpopRC I give you MCD Chassy is Awesome watching your channel kinda got me into them late 2023 pretty sure i'll get one just from your videos ! but it ain't 1/4 scale they don't have a Viper body plan on ordering the E-Nova kit with Viper Body getting some one off 3 Piece aluminum rims going for prostreet look. Raminator it easy it's the Biggest Baddest Land R/C around ! but not for faint of heart ! How can you not like a nearly 4 foot long 75lbs solid Axle RC Monster Truck (Super R/c Monster Truck Fan ) i am just over $7 Grand in and counting on mine stock gas motor not my thing Was one of the First to do a Johnny Crash Racing Brushless Conversion Kit for it have 15 HP Brushless motor with 22s capable 600 amp Flier ESC ( I am only running 12S) had a set of 12S 22000mah packs made for it and design and had machined custom wheel adapters so i could run even bigger Race Kart Gokart tires and wheels on it ....

nah. because the 5t is actually a scaled up 8ight. and the dbxl is actually an RCMK. and the RCMK xcr1000 version is MUCH better. still great cars but i don't think they can hang with the cars in this list.

it's always a delight to take them out once and a while. i suggest you take one out for a rip.

the traxxas car? dude ARMA has cars that will put the XO to shame.

@@kpopRC I realize that but can an armour factory stock out of box do over 100 mph without upgrades

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oGOVd29ofpphpI0.html

I try. lol. i didn't realize the class had so many players. There aren't any tracks over here that run fifth scale on road. unfortunately. That's why i jab at the Americans just tossing in INSANE power plants into these, just to see how fast they can go. Im cool with it. lol.

It placed in the European worlds it’s first year out.. it won’t take much to keep on the podium💯

Great cars man! How are you liking the vecta? I always drool over it. agreed. those two are a hand full.

@@kpopRC took me a while to get the hang of it to be 100% honest. It's weight destribution made it difficult to properly corner. Ended up adding balast weights in some places and now the car drives like a dream. Right now it has a 45cc stroker beast installed and it simply rips man, I love it but as I said it was a bit difficult at the biggining. Cheers Ü

Yeah those 3. i don't think can hang with what i posed. The losi 5t is a losi 8 design, it's not designed to be fifthscale, and upgrades are necessary to avoid burnt out steering servos, and weird gear mesh issues. the dbxl is a licence play, it was originaly designed by RCMK. the RCMK version is MUCH better, because they didn't skimp on manufacturing like losi asked them to do to lower the price point. The traxxas XRT, is still very much toy like in comparison to the machining done to the ones in this list. Great cars. but not the Ultimate by any means.

@@kpopRC yeah your title is priciest R/C cars, and that they are I chose some great cars, nothing out today will compare to the XRT plastics or not none of those overpriced cars will compare without $$$$ more in upgrades, but I was wrong you are listing expensive cars...not quality....👍👍

@@kpopRC lol there not the best lol the Baja is a old dog lol the MCD xrt the only good car there the other mcd is like a race car there are others out there which am sure are better 🤣🤣they paying u Orr something

@@ls7beats32 😂 💯

Traxxas is not 5th scale neither.

no idea. lol

yeah. I don't think that primal would hang with the cars on this list. I don't get the appeal. but sure.

i don't support clones. and also the losi 5 is not on this list because it's woefully inadequate in comparison to the mcd cars.

good call.

i think there are links in the description. Because, you know, prices change.

totally

i never win either.

things have come a long way from tmaxx's my dude.

@@kpopRC I'll race anyone any time with my old TMaxx. What's changed? Integrity helped turn my TMaxx into a Monster. Dang thing was so fast I had a custom gear made to slow it down.

Good point. did i however imply that this was in any order? or did i just say here's my list. I didn't say here's my top 5. In fact i avoided that language because i haven't experienced all the rc's. I guess i should have said, "in no particular order". As some one who played top 5 albums a lot in highschool and college, where they ever in best to worst or worst to best order? hrmmm. maybe it's just semantics.

@@kpopRC understood thanks . I always assumed it was implied that it would be in order .. thanks for getting back to me !! Great channel

2023. we'll take a look at a few for sure.

I'm sorry i dont have time. your best bet is going to a local hobby shop. or join the fb group and ask there.

no traxxas Platform can hang with these cars. absolutely. plastic web chassis remind me of toy grade. traxxas was cool in the 90s. now you can buy them at besrbuy

yep france.

no i didnt 😆

@@kpopRC I was just joking 😃

i want one so bad!

@kpopRC it's amazing highly recommend, have had the v2 for almost 1year half and it's been great just be re ready to buy sets of tires after all the drifting around

no i didn't. lol.

you do you rich!

NO SIR. i did not. plastic webbing injection molded almost toy grade manufacturing. Im not a fan. Probably very capable. but just doesn't have the soul. also i don't like companies that go after their peers with lawsuits. One thing for cloners, another for peers.

@@kpopRCi geuss for races and the kind of stuff you do on your channel it definetly lags behind but its one of the best bashers aside from the kraton and some others

potayto potatto

great additions for sure!

to be honest. i didn't think anyone would watch this video. LMAO.

@@kpopRC UKposts brought me here when i was searing for mcd xr5 :)
