The ZX5-FS is a one box race car .... just build it as stock, put on Tebo's standard set-up and it'll be great on the sort of tracks you have out there!!!

Hey the car works great out off the box you will not regret it. Lipo don't fit so you will have to do your own mods to make it fit. Just get the D4 front rims or the new kyosho rims the old ones dont go through the Scrute box.

Just got the car, will post pics once the camera charges. Powered it on, everything works. I think I am going to tear it apart, and clean and rebuild the diffs, or at least inspect, and refill the shocks, and set it up like tebos car for a good base.
