  1. Not sure about that matey, there's some really nice lunchbox builds already Do it, I have wanted one for the same time and picked up a kit last year, nostalgia costs you lol
  2. Hi guys, having some fun building something different, black ops project will be 5th scale buddy This setup is on my Tamiya lunchbox, double wishbone front setup, titanium turnbuckles, carbon fibre shock mounts, gmade xd piggyback shock (internal shock pressure can be varied etc), alloy knuckles, custom red/black theme. I will do a build thread me thinks
  3. Sorted out the front suspension setup
  4. Not a kraken buddy, still undecided on that one plus i want to see what comes out for them and who stocks spares properly etc etc Have had a long break from the tools, still hasn't stopped me buying stuff lol. Yep definitely time now to sort some builds out to keep the existing ones company
  5. Cheers fella, yeah just passed by to say hello, didn't bring any cars with me. Been so busy this year that rc has taken a back seat plus I enjoyed not picking up tools for a long time lol Sorted my man cave out this past week as i feel like building again. Unfortunately not matey, I love these engines as much my rc's and hope to house all of them one day. A new black ops project buddy, gonna be back soon with new stuff and my good old faithfuls lol Thankyou matey
  6. Took this pic and thought I would share with you guys before some are installed into cars, all blue and tuned Left to Right: Bartolone 30.5cc Reed, the 5b has a 29.5cc reed as well. ALX 78cc with choke and his clutch setup. SF50, 6 port one and cs crank plus pro mx clutch. Oddified NRB 26cc with Oddified clutch and ecu setup.

    Yeah with the pull/push you have to shave some material, I run the hoonage setup and had to take some material away. looking lush, Rob does the cups and out drives plus new driveshafts as well now matey for when you decide to upgrade or raid the piggy bank btw my lush blue Bartolone engine in my losi buggy has come back from Chris after ages, it's now a 30.5cc reed beast.
  8. Welcome back Decide on 2wd or 4wd, there's plenty of choice to have fun and that's the important bit to have fun. Baja's make for good bashing out in fields etc, rwd action, plenty of parts and you can modify till your hearts content. Losi 5T is the 4wd choice, great straight out of the box and handle really well, some people find them a bit boring to bash with as they handle so well but it shouldn't put you off etc Dbxl is another 4wd contender and now you have the losi monster truck and also solid rear axle 4wd cars from Dragon Hammer and Kraken although the latter is hard to get hold of parts in the uk at present. The above all have a following and people prefer one to another, choose a platform that will best suit to where your are going to run it and you won't go wrong.

    Welcome to the 5ive T club and a very nice one as usual from you AJ Great choice of hopups and probably more to come I reckon
  10. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing matey and yep it's good for the soul to just have something that you can display or stare at. I confess to having quite a serious collection of new in box vintage 4wd buggies, the Yokomo YZ10 series is my favourite.
  11. I am a tad predictable matey lol cheers will have to see what I like 1st and hopefully see these in action at bashfest etc Been busy with my business and work lately so RC has taken a back seat but I do have a couple of projects that need completing and will post them up, plus I get side tracked with collecting vintage 4wd buggies I always wanted as a kid growing up
  12. Definitly no clone of a dbxl that can be seen from the pics, similar ish proportions yeah. The new 5th scale losi mt is more of a dbxl thought process than the dragon hammer imo Subscribed for updates matey, and thanks for taking time out to review this, I know taking pics and reviewing and doing a thread on a forum is a time consuming process.
  13. Nice review and write up, appreciate a closer look at this platform, Thankyou Intresting times in the 5th scale market as new platforms emerge and more variety is great. The losi 5t has proven itself to be the King as racing those for practice sessions, then qualifying sessions, then 30min finals in the brca is a good test as anything else for reliability and performance more than bashing imo, plus let's not forget the big bore motors 46cc plus that can be shoe horned in, albeit on heavily upgraded 5ive's usually. I so want something 5th scale like this but am personally going to wait to see what transpires as more people review them and reviews of the vekta come in, then decision time, will be blue though lol
  14. Personally it should be embraced as another alternative in the 5th scale market and it will definitely appeal to some and draw them into large scales Its not for me but that's just my personal choice, I really want losi to do a proper trophy truck, lightweight, rwd or 4wd, nice cage and authentic shell and I would have one in a heartbeat
