Rover Man Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Toughest out the box as to be the Losi 5ive T . Won't be the fastest In standard form as it's a heavy beast. What do you want from it ? All bashing or maybe a bit of racing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Losi 5ive, A very capable basher and Racer, not fast by any means unless you put a meaty engine in one, but one of the toughest RC's out there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5ive is a dream to work on and look after. The hop ups are brilliantly easy to source and the prices aren't bad Remember though, the 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddfg Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 They are built very well mine is for 100% bashing only thing I broke was the speed controller, anything will break if you hit something hard enough doesn't have a mcd.

Feedtheinferno Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Right ok let's end this MCD bashing sillyness now shall we? Here is a video of my 5ive as it used to look with its red cage. I get distracted talking to someone next to me and park the car in the middle of the muddy track, what follows is a MCD hits the back of the Losi at speed destroying the MDC's lower front arms. I actually just drive off because I didn't see the hit at all. The only thing that brought it to my attention is after the event someone shows me this video. Not a scratch on the 5ive at all, but a costly repair for the MCD https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NaxmDbPz6xE#t=49 Get it?
