Losi

This truck is no joke...been racing Losi since JRx2 (which i still have)
HPI BETTER COME UP WITH A 4X4.....

again.....
i got rid of my 5t and 5b because they are just too heavy as a 2 wheel drive...remember,these are BAJAS ...made to run on dirt.....
your ok if you run asphalt or concrete.....

Front diff housing and axel cups looks similar to my rampage xb...
 
Never had a problem running my 5b off road. Besides the HPI 1/5, 4 wheel drive electric some said HPI is getting ready to do something big with the baja.

I been trying to find out how much the Losi weighs but so far have not been able to. I do know in one of the videos talking about the Losi they said 30 plus pounds. Hopefully it is not much over 30 pounds.
 
30 pounds, aka 13.5kg would be right on the money.
5B's are around 12kg aren't they, and I presume the 5T's the odd kg or 2 more, and this is 4WD.

I always expect good things from Losi, and it's the main reason I still have one nitro - the 1/8 'Raminator' (modified of course but keeps the original 'look').

May I ask where you got 30 pounds for the Losi? Only thing I heard was in one of the videos made by Losi saying 30 plus pounds. Could not find anything on their web site about weight. If they are right around 30 pounds that is not bad being a 4 wheel drive. The 5B stock weight is 22 pounds. My 5B with up grades is 25 pounds which is heavy to me. LOL The 5T is about 6 pounds heaver. I have seen some that have 5b that are 35 or more pounds. :rolleyes:

also bought some stainlees steel bearings,
good for 39000 rpm instead of 24000 on the stock bearing...

someone mentioned about diff bearings and hub bearings blowing up on the rampage xb so i have them on the side...or maybe ill just replaced them all now.

Some have tried better bearings on the XB diff but still had problems with the diff case. To cure the XB wheel bearing problem 7075 RC front and rear hubs with the over size bearings. It is not the quality of the bearings but the size. 7075 RC is talking about making some alloy diff housings. For more information see links below.

Losi had 4 or 5 5ive Ts at the Hostile Baja Fest this pass weekend. All said they held up VERY well and ran like they where on rails.
 
Kent at Killer RC was correct the 5ive T weighs ready to run with out fuel 37 pounds 2.5 ounces and I thought my 5b SS was heavy at just over 25 pounds. LOL. I know 4 wheel drive will be heaver just was not expecting 37 pounds.

Wow, 37 pounds! A TS 30.5 would be underpowered at that weight. I guess that explains why they look slow in the vids.
