ukbajadave Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Looks like we may have to change some rules at our AGM this year as the losi is too long to race as an outlaw in the national series, The max length is 900mm Also the fuel tank is 800cc. BRCA say 700cc max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy111 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Its American though and they prob dont care about brca? I think this is more of a mega basher than a racer i can't imagine theres many places (at least in uk) that races 1/5 scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is more of a mega basher than a racer i can't imagine theres many places (at least in uk) that races 1/5 scale? It does,nt look much like a basher to me! I dont think the design will hold up to too much bashing it is way too low to the ground Looks much more like an oval racer to me Looks great though well done Losi I may have a hopped up Blackout for sale soon !!

This is essentially an over sized 8ight so itll take some abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is essentially an over sized 8ight so itll take some abuse. have you ever bashed a losi 8ight before mate they are extremly strong and losi are very well known for making extremly strong bashers years or proof behind there models i expect nothing less from the 5ive Sadly no I have never bashed a Losi 8ight but have seen a few bashed I have to say yes they do stand up to a lot of Abuse!! But the question is Have you ever bashed a 1/5th scale? I have and do with my Baja and Blackout ! If you do not want to keep replacing broken parts then you need a good suspension and decent ground clearance You cannot simply take a 1/8th scale buggy/truggy and make it a 1/5th scale petrol The 5ive t weighs in at 16Kg so all this weight means you are not going to be bashing this like a 8ight I still think the ground clearance is a little too low for a basher and our UK terrain Great for smooth tracks though I am sure this can be rectified but I still believe this truck is no basher out of the box! Looks like a great truck all the same and look forward to seeing its progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
