TPR 5ive-X Buggy

[crucialRC]

Looks like they robbed a ton of ideas from MCD but looks interesting. I also like the idea of them using the 5ive-T chassis. What you guys think

The exterior looks pretty much identical to a rr5, the chasiss itself looks kinda similar, just with a losi touch . Aswell as the throttle break mount looks like something out of the 8eight. Interesting buggy ?

Yeah too bad I don't think anything like this is in the plans for TLR but I like it.

Rather have a L5B

 

[blackrain]

I like it but if I was to do it , I would have to take it to the track

 

[DougStar]

looks like they have thought of a few thing and improved on L5B ?
if it was a new buggy from the get go ie its own chassis it would be competition.......

Im not entirely sure why you would go through all that to improve the losi when you can just buy a competition ready mcd though ??‍

It's a 5ive t chassis, from what I understand. And mcd is nice, but when you start taking the good ideas from every rc, you get this kind if thing. I think the throttle servo, and brake/ trans set up is very good spin on the losi and mcd mix. Not totally sold on that style steering as it doesn't have a parallel bar to connect them, but I guess if they played with it long enough, and the servos are programmable it shouldn't be an issue. Will be interesting to see when or if they complete their one off design, as these guys are pure race inspired.

I’ve been talking to this guy on Facebook back and forth for the last few months. great guy and really knows his poop. Whatever mods he did to this losi were based off his years of racing and to accomplish specific goals. Not sure why he didn’t buy a rr5 instead but I’m sure he had well thought out reasons to start with a 5b and work from there. His YouTube page is ? as well

I bet he won’t be “done” with this rig unless he ditches it for something else. Tinkerers always tinker hahah

?oh you mean the steering and throttle servo mounts?

No his new buggy hes making from the ground up, think its houseofrc.com or something like that, they are working on a new platform.

I didnt feel like registering to a beta sight. Hope they launch the new version soon.

I think this is an Rc community platform, not an Rc car

Oo yeah I misread their post about it then lol, I was thinking they were going to build a race buggy based off of consumer input. ?
