Three customs 1/5 scales up for sale on ebay

The guys over at TGN Distributing have come across some pretty sweet large scales on consignment and up on ebay. All three have been built with nothing to spare when it comes to hop-up, engines and appearance upgrades. Each one worth close to $5,000 or more for these amazing show cars.

Check out over a 100 images of these cars HERE.

The FG F1 Competition car is just a thing of beauty. FG has put all of their best into this kit and this one in particular is built with a discriminating tastes. Check it out HERE

 

 

 

The next up is a HPI Baja 5T. This puppy is loaded with all kinds of goodies. Yes the billet does way her down but the ESP motor will make up for any of that lost power. Check out this beauty HERE.

 

 

 

And last but definitely not least. This powerful HPI Baja 5SC with an OBR 50cc Twin Cylinder. They did not stop with just a TON of horsepower….there are lot of other upgrades here. Including billet from Turtle Racing, RPM arms all around and huge monster shocks. Take a look at this bad boy HERE.

 

 

Hemistorm on Tour takes you into the FG Factory

Have you ever owned an FG? If you have then you have owned a part of large scale history. For me my first production large scale was the FG Monster Truck and that forever changed my thoughts on what R/C cars were all about. Till this day I do not think I have had more fun with an R/C then I did with my FG.

I have always wanted to see what the inside of the FG factory looked like and Chris at HemistormRC has given us a cool look inside and a personal interview with the creator/CEO of FG. Thank you Chris for your efforts on this tour and specifically with this episode.

Check out the interview imbedded below and follow along on his tour by checking out his channel HERE.
