This is the MCD XS5 Max FTR. Before I get into it..did you want to discover a world of GAS POWERED & Electric 1:5 RC SUPER CARS? www.cardinalracing.com is where I got this inanity - they service Canada & the USA. Here is a direct link to the car I picked:
cardinalracing.com/collection... NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THIS CAR! Its INCREDIBLE, RIGHT?! I cant believe that I was able to lift the motor plate & cradle right out so easily.. making it super convinient to work on the Lehner 3080 Sensored Brushless Motor I got from MGM Controllers here:
Motor: www.mgm-controllers.com/en/se...
ESC: www.mgm-controllers.com/en/tm...
This motor and ESC combo is RATED for 15S Lipo!! This is an incredible amount of power for this awesome setup.. and there is no way (at the moment) I have plans to use 15S until I learn how to control that much power with a new car. MAXIMUM will be 12.. but I will start at 8s...

Lets get into some details:
The XS5 MAX is designed with a 1:1 scale realism of a mid-engine supercar. We developed the XS5 Max with advanced modelling techniques. Sophistication and refinement were the main inspiration keywords while creating the body. Sculpted twisting lateral surfaces gliding from the front to the back both vertically and horizontally creating a dynamic design language. Styling features such as wide muscular fenders, low roof-line and vertical head lamps help forming a powerful stance. Besides styling works a special effort was put on the aerodynamics of the body to create a balanced down-force on the front and on the back to keep control on the ground for dynamic cornering.
