Bobby 5ive-T 2.0

[misterleon]

Alright guys my next project is funded. Either getting a brand new 2.0 or gonna find a barely used (emphasis on barely). This will be another race rig. Planned upgrades are

5ive b servo tray
3 845wp’s
Modified RC center diff carrier
TLR chassis braces
TLR red springs with 40wt in front and 45 in rear and new 4 hole 2.1mm pistons
Undetermined diff oils? maybe 50/200/30
Jconcept chasers with yellow losi wheels
engine and pipe will be stripped from my old 5t and that rig will be on its way to heaven either parted out or sold as a roller.

But for now, I wait...

Nice parts list you have going. Here's something that may be of interest to you for your racing set-up.

Turtle racing center braces off ddm will be cheaper than buying TLR braces.https://www.davesmotors.com/Turtle-Racing-HD-Chassis-Braces-for-Losi-5ive-TR1531. i have the modified rc center diff tower and its a nice piece also alot of 5t v1/ v1.5 stuff swaps over to the 2.0 other than the center drive line stuff

I wonder if I’m smart enough to make these work haha

 

[Rep732]

I saw those too...im a little confused on how to find the right balance with those. If they open in one direction how do they let oil go the other way ?‍

They give you a good reference point to start in the directions but they would definitely take some trial and error to set up perfectly for your track/conditions.

The four outer holes are the same as OEM pistons. The colored washers ride on the top of the piston with the flange bushing retainer. When the shock compresses, oil pushes against the washer sealing the four inner holes(bypass holes). On rebound, oil pushes the washer up to the flange. Now oil is flowing through the OEM holes and the bypass holes. The thicker the washer used, the slower the rebound. But, it will still be faster rebound than stock.
I'm sure that's clear as mud.

Start @53:00. I think that will give you a better idea of how it works.

If it wasnt for the cost I would have went with the mod shocks. Much more tunable then the tlr shocks. More like a real shock.

The new rig has been payed for $1000 beans brand new from the infamous Facebook fifth scale garage sale man Tony Castillo

can’t wait to get my grubby little hands on it and fiddlestick it up

 

[misterleon]

Bought whatever I needed to get this thing running

These with a couple of other boring bits will get it running. Going to give her a rip so I have a starting point to upgrade from.

The hilly servo came in today and I gotta say it is the only servo brand I will ever buy ever again. Impressive quality for sure?

Stop saying stuff like that! I'm having buyers remorse with this glitchy hitec ?

Buy seven of the hilly’s you’ll love them

 

[Seandonato73]

Jeez one costs enough lol. May get one of those instead of doing a twin hitec set up.

No it is a 2.0 in the 1.0 the spur is towards the rear on the 2.0 it’s to the front so the 1.0 clutch and bell housing done work
