    1/5 scale FG road car


    I thought I would give you guys a shot at this before I put it on ebay.
    This is a 1/5 scale FG Mercedes road car. If you've never seen one in person, they are HUGE cars. Engine is a 23cc and runs great, starts on one pull and has plenty of power. This is a 2 stroke gas engine, so you can use conventional gas mixed with 2 stroke oil. FG is a German company that is regarded as absolute top of the line when it comes to 1/5 scale cars. This is the sportline version, which is the "RTR" type model that runs about $2k shipped from FG (they have more expensive "race" models that run $4k+)
    TX/RX, RX pack, and fuel needed to run.

    Asking$750 shipped. This is substantially LESS than what I paid for the car when I bought it used earlier this year.

      Stock muffler. The exhaust exits through the bottom and the intake is in the scoop.
      It sounds pretty sweet Todd.

        I have the FG Sportsline BMW and it really moves. Have to run it on a very flat clean surface as these sit very low to the ground. This is a steal at $750.00. Good luck Keith.

          Need to move this guys...will consider serious offers. (don't offer if you're not buying...I feel like that should be common sense, but I have seen otherwise)

                I do still have it, but I put it on ebay...the auction ends next Friday. If someone wants it, I'll end the auction early.
                It's possible that it could be bought for less by waiting for the auction to end, but I doubt it. Most of these that I have seen on ebay go for more than what I'm asking.
                I would be happy to bring it to Missouri for anyone who wants it.
                It is a very low sitting car, so it needs smooth pavement to run. It also has the typical scratches/scrapes on the bottom that low road cars have from parking lot driving. Other than that, what you see is what you get. I bought this earlier this year because it was a really good deal, but I really don't have time to run it (can't even find time to run my boats!) and frankly I can use the money.

                        Here is a web page with some info on the FG vehicles. If more info is needed I'm sure you can contact the company via this website...........https://www.fg-onlineshop.de/ItemBlo...97&mi=0&webi=1. I know what Keith is asking for this is well below what it is worth. FG vehicles are top of the line 1/5 and 1/6 scale racing machines. Good luck with your sale Keith, you should get more than your asking price for that fine piece of machinery!
                        ? WHAT RULES?

                          I would imagine that you could get them from FG, but I know ebay has al kinds of FG parts. This car is pretty much the RTR stock version, but you can get all kinds of mods for them. I've seen a few that were about 90% polished aluminum
