Hi All
Has anyone tried the RC Max chassis on the Losi 5T 2.0.
After a full year of Racing my stock chasis has been left like a banana.
My options are I either buy a new stock chassis or buy the RC Max. From what I understand the RC Max is a little heavier. Does anyone know how much heavier? Would appreciate anyone’s thoughts that’s has tried the RC Max chassis for Racing.
1st year of Racing has been awesome and with some great results for a newbie.

Thanks guys, found it...1442g vs 1448. Nice build by the way...
Thought it would be much heavier. i think it’s worth a try. It might just be the go, Inhave the option to machine other rear diff mount plates to change the wheelbaseRC Max works out to be a little cheaper. From what I saw scrolling through post you had some fitting issues. They may have sorted those issues out now with Rev 2 chassis.
Overall are you happy with it? Any difference driving it?
appreciate your thoughts, thanks again.

Hi from a fellow Aussie.
Just wondering where the track is?
Great result BTW (y)

It’s an awesome Track. UHROC (Upper Hunter RC Off Road Club). Ravensworth, just out of Singleton. 3hrs from Sydney. My local club track is SSME near Penrith.
It states it works for both V1 & 2.0

I used to live on the Central Coast and now I've left (25 yrs ago) they go and build a track!
I'll have to take my cars next time I go to visit family.
The only tracks up here are all 1/8 and 1/10 scale.
We did have a 1/5 one but the club decided they didn't like it and changed it to 1/8.
