I have a problem 40gt, 46gt or 50gt engine choice for 5ive t 2.0

[Kenny1981]

I'm going to have more funds than I thought. I'm sure I would be happy with any of the choices. I'm not sure what one to get.

I was just looking at the 40gt from rcmax but I don't want to strengthen the driveline yet

I've done some strengthening in my driveline but I get a little indecisive then I start over thinking everything.

 

[Rep732]

Seeing @Seandonato73 diff housing from a rcmax engine I would consider aluminum diff housings as a priority

 

[crucialRC]

I say 50gt. I think @John Parks loves the 46

 

[John Parks]

46gt/50gt is a great choice either way. I've ran them all, 46gt and 50gt both are torquey engines. I'd go 50gt though if I was buying new.

How heavy are the 5ive's I would think if a 32cc OBR is plenty fast anything from RcMax or ALX would be insane.

 

[Rep732]

I think they weigh around 37lbs

 

[Seandonato73]

Feels like a lead brick compared to the dbxl

 

[siblues]

yeah I almost hit myself in the face after carrying the Vekta for a while I grabbed the DBXL expecting it to wegh 30 or so pounds and almost 3 stooged myself.

I have the rc max chassis and diff housings and the modified center diff carrier

I have checked the dbxl out at the hobby store and was also shocked on how light it was compared to my 5ive t

Chris Bartolone and rovan dropped their 45cc reed case last asking 699$. Even though we know Chris is a great at what he does that alx just looks dope and sounds even better

I think I'm going to get the 50gt. No replacement for displacement. And hopefully the 50 won't be to much of a handful to control.

Truthfully I've always really liked the OBR but I've also really liked the rc max and ALX. Those were my top 3 choices . And I will have the funds to get the rc max which I kinda put on a pedestal.

And I have also had to resist the urge to get another 5th scale because I also really liked the kraken vekta I've decided to put all my eggs in one basket.

 

[siblues]

I am with you man I have a 50cc in my near future so bite the bullet and get that beast.

 

[rcaddict!]

I’ve got a few 5’s, I enjoy buying them cheap and rebuilding and cleaning them to sell. Not doing too bad...I do have one which finally hit the streets this summer, it has the OBR reed 32 in it and runs like a bat out of hell. I also have the OBR fat boy reed engine.”still in the box”...these don’t need much reinforcement. however if you want RCMax or ALX you will need to spend great money on cups diffs shafts to keep it together...those engines are stupid fast and cost $$$. but if your gonna spend that much money over what an OBR costs you may as well go ALX 70.... good luck and get ready for black Friday sales for all those parts....

 

[Kenny1981]

I have ordered the engine it's not a 50gt it's a RCMAX 65 SUPREME.
I can't wait till it gets here
