WHATS CHEAPER? PUTTING TOGETHER A LOSI 5IVE T PIECE BY PIECE, OR BUYING ONE WHOLE?

[Harold Bascom]

I NEED a Losi 5ive T by the summer of 2020 and plan to buy a bare main chassis and built onto it, part by part, until the vehicle is complete. The question is, will it cost less than buying a complete Losi 5ive RTR or BND the final analysis?

I just bought a used 5iveT for $360. I doubt you’ll be able to build one cheaper. Keep a eye out in social media selling ads and Craig’s list, offferup ETC...
You’ll find something cheap for sure before 2020

Thanks, my brother. PEACE!

What @Basher5iveT420 said, youll be able to find a cheap one before summer 2020. Also to answer your question, no. I doubt it will cost cheaper, maybe even more expensive.

I live in the US state of Georgia where it seems the rc hobby is apparently not popular. As such, the likelihood of finding used large-scale RC trucks like the Losi 5ive T will be rare. I will, however, be optimistic and keep checking Craigslist. You never know. Thanks for responding. PEACE

Don't forget to use Offer Up and Letgo apps. They can also ship for a price.

If you are looking for stock then it would be cheaper to buy a used car complete. If you plan on having a bad ass rig with all the upgrades then you will definitely want to build it from scratch as most stock parts get replaced

MY GOAL IS 'BADASS' LOSI 5IVE T 2.0. I also know that by building a truck from the main chassis to finish, WILL be an invaluable journey!

The only thing that is still stock on mine is the Fuel tank, Turnbuckles, and shock tower every other part has been replaced at some point. Buy it right and buy it one time or cheap out on it and buy it several times.
