Picked up a roller chassis for a decent price. I wasn't really too interested in a 5ive since I had a DBXL, but it's a nice addition now that I have one. Thing is huge and seems to be nicer quality than the DBXL. I hate to say it, but it just feels and looks more Losi. I've owned so many Losi products in the past and it just feels right.
Anybody know what chassis this is? I don't see anything online that's a blue aftermarket chassis. Seems to be pretty good quality anyways. Are the stock servos any good or should I throw some D845 on it soon?
I also have a 23cc CY motor from a stock DBXL laying around. Will it have decent power to get started if I put a 29cc head kit on it? I tried to line up the CY motor with the chassis holes and the engine seems longer. Is the clutch housing different for the 5ive's? If so, what do I need to get to make it work? I'm assuming there's no engine mount, the motor just bolts directly to the chassis correct? I have the correct clutch bell, just the housing seems too large.
The previous owner seems to really like Integy . The arms, chassis braces, hubs, center diff mount, fuel cap are all integy. I might change out the hubs and arms in the future, I'm not a fan of their Swiss cheese aluminum. One of the steering hubs were bent and I kid you not, I was able to bend it back with my finger without using any pliers or a vice. Might as well stick with plastic.
thanks!
