LOSI 5ivet 2.0

[DougStar]

I can vouch for that. My aluminum guards need to be changed as they are hammered and sand blasted

My losi had alloy guards from the get go......and they are still 100's??

Not a lifetime decision just trying out some cool stuff , and when they bust all over the mud hole , I'll get to look up some more cool stuff

 

[Relic-1]

I still don't have the Five yet , but I'm wondering about these bumpscrew stops by fast Eddy , you have to tear the whole car down for install ?

 

[Rep732]

I have them and not necessarily. You do need to move the arms out of the way to get a drill straight on with the chassis.

 

[Relic-1]

Thanx much Rep732 , I'm ordering them today , looks like a good investment

 

[Rep732]

No problem relic. Just be cautious with drilling they said its a 5mm drill bit but I guess my drilling wondered a little and I ended up putting jb weld on the threads. It worked and I have no issues

 

[Relic-1]

Yes , it's not like it's a lug bolt or anything like that ?, heck could prolly j,b weld them in , do just as good

 

[Rep732]

Sorry corrected i did use jb weld. Stupid auto correct

 

[Relic-1]

Awsome , I don't feel so alone with this war inside my head ?? I figgered,, that stuff can hold anything , if used correctly , I fixed a split gear box in a traxxas jato , with that stuff 4 years ago , stronger than original by far

 

[Relic-1]

It's been a year , earning and selling and waiting , it's finally here !!!!!!!!

 

[Rep732]

Congrats!

nice???

Started the shoo goo body reinforcement project , cleaned inside surface with alcohol ,

 

[Rep732]

You should look into a 30dnt body ...you won't feel as bad when you roll the truck and the body takes a beating

 

[Relic-1]

This is the drywall tape administered ! This is my first time doing this , I always use the gorilla glue duct tape , but I thought I would give this a try on the 5ive t

 

[Rep732]

Looks like professional job to me

 

[Relic-1]

Here's what I came up with after the shoo goo is added , I used three of these size tubes just on the hood piece, I don't know if there's a way to spread it any thinner
Then I super glued the inside body tabs to the roll cage connection points , darn things are constantly loosing me or vicey versy??

 

[evssv]

them side cage nutthings r a pitfass☹...also glued mine in now ? i used 4x big tubes of goo on my body?

 

[Seandonato73]

I don't even bother with the side nut things, too much of a pain to get the body on and off.
Shes looking good relic ??

 

[evssv]

yeah agree☹ but they add alot strength to the body when used ?
