real deal 100%. for a couple reasons. 1 ur supporting the original creators, nuff said.
2 better quality aluminum, plastics, engines (engines especially, km/rovan motors are trash in my experience)
3 upgrades will fit better/at all on the losi then on the km.

I vote the 5ive t, the 2.0 is great. Comes with a great powerful engine, all the mods in the world at your finger tips, with little to no real fitment issues. If your on a budget go used.
+15t ......id never entertain any other?
I would save my pennies till I can afford a original 5iveT ??
and just my opinion but I would buy a USED 5iveT, a lot of them will already come with hoop ups installed and usually find them for amazing deals if you search online ads like
OfferUp, 5mile, letgo, eBay etc
There are 3 versions of the 5iveT
a black & white body usually comes with a 26cc. This model is the oldest and has the most aftermarket upgrades avail imo
the second version that came out was the orange & gray body 5iveT.... some came with a 2 bolt 29cc and then the later models shipped out with a 4 bolt 29cc.... this model and the first model are basically the same ishh like 99% of the upgrade parts are direct bolt on’s on them
the 3rd version is the newest one out right now, comes with a 32cc engine with some really nice drive train up grades compared to the last two versions
Aftermarket parts are becoming avail really fast but this one comes built real solid it’s not much you need to upgrade imo!
I think you can find a good used original 5iveT in the price range of $400/$1000 ish in the case of some members FREE ??
The newest one retails for $1,400 currently and I doubt you’ll find it cheaper for now.
if money isn’t a issue then buy the latest & greatest and go have fun.
Upgrade as you break it
remember clones are cheaper upfront BUT take so much $$ to make em reliable that you end up spending more...

+1 on 5T, take it from a Rovan owner. I should have saved and bought the real deal from HPI but was too excited be able to drop nitro and go gas.
+1 buy original ?
