Losi 5ive first run

[voo2doo]

Losi 5ive first run!
Here is the new Losi 5ive at out track today,just a quick vid.The diabolical driving is Barry's(1275 mini) who susequently owns the car too!
I had a go today and it handles so easily and the access to all the workings are superb. Unbelievably over engineered too.Pics of the car don't do it justice.

Cheers Barry for trusting me with your car(nobody else does!)

So when's yours coming James? !!!

Sounds like you're sold.

Was that REALLY the first run, at full bore - break in procedure? !!

How did the shocks hold out - any leaks?
Losi own brand shocks on the LST are excellent, the 'after market (Integy - surprise !!)' ones leak.

How did the diff brake hold out - need readjusting much?

it had about 1/2 hour before Jim got to the field
shocks are spot on no leaks
diff brake is just like my mcd 100% pulls the front end down when you want
no complaints spot on bit of kit !:cup-1::cup-1::cup-1::cup-1:

See anything that needs an immediate attention in terms of upgrades or fixes?

dumped the servos fitted hitec 5755 along with the steering servo adaptor from the baja some sort of temporary pipe system to save the inside of the body till pipes are out !

 

[pipeous]

Good to hear positive things. I am so tempted with this ride. Tires seem to hook up good too

 

[voo2doo]

A good pipe is a must! and as Barry said the servo's are pretty poor too.Apart from that they are great!

Already a few baja’s are up for sale on well known rc forums,these 5ives are going to be very popular and both baja and MCD are not going to be looked at with all the positive user reviews on Losi.


So far 5ives jump and turn extremely well,but that’s to be expected as they are a oversized 8 truggy which has won many events worldwide.


Plus these things will take a heavy beating.Baja and MCD owners are going to be left behind.

 

[decky]

is that a track ? looked like a field to me.

car looks to go well though.

 

[dscjester]

I got a chance to check these out at Bajafest this past September. And at first I was unsure my thoughts of it but I did love the simplicity of the 4wd verse the MCD's setup. I think these will be around for a while. Plus there are some manufacters already designing upgraded parts for it.

Thats just one of the straights,the track is behind the camera.

Short break in the rain today so i had to get the losi dirty handles a lot better with the body on






was not to sure about the heat from the exhust on the body got a bit warm but no problems

 

[whittron]

Looks like you got a couple hours of cleaning ahead of you.

 

[pablo]

why did you change the motor and the servo,s were the original parts no good.

 

[whittron]

Ya i don't know why everyone is changing there steering servos,all you have to do is run a 2 cell lipo and they are plenty fast and powerful enough,at 7.5 they have over 500oz of torque and .17 speed which is only .2 slower then the hitec5755,so doesn't make much sense to me,and there are rated to handle 7.4 volts.

 

[voo2doo]

Barry,don't dirty me car!!!!
