losi 5ive-B Question

[Javi75]

I just wanted to verify with the 5ive-B community...Is the 5ive-B really being or has been "DISCONTINUED"? I've been looking for a kit and "NO ONE" and I mean "NO ONE" seems to have one in stock.

They seem to come up for sale at ddm once in a blue. Last they had stock was January. Message them and ask.

It was officially discontinued years ago. DDM is the sole distributor, you cannot get them anywhere else, they have an exclusive deal with Losi to keep the platform alive
They have sold out of there current stock, but they will have more on order.
Just ask them for an eta

How are DDM continuously getting new stock of a product discontinued years ago? Do Losi have a warehouse full of them from before they discontinued?

Seems like with such Demand, and how popular they are for Racing that they should really reconsider this discontinued status.

its not discontinued anymore but you can only get from ddm

I know right...maybe just maybe it's MCD trying to take over or slow down Losi 5ive-B distribution. Mmmmmawwwhaaaaaa!! Lol

just have ddm email you when it goes back in their inventory, you might even get a discount if you react fast. go the 5b page and sign up for "notify me when available" i missed out on the last batch too, waited too long.

i wish ddm can convince losi to continue the electric conversion kit, i think more people wants an elec version. DDM and Losi you guys hearing this?

What about BND version with G320?

There's plenty of aftermarket conversion kits available, both carbon and alloy options

Top Tuning, ExtremeRC, RCmadness

Top Tuning motor mount and ExtremeRC carbon battery trays works well.
