psychoticpinkbunny Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Continuing on from "First thoughts on a 5ive" and "Second thoughts on a 5ive" I bring you the third instalment of my thoughts of 5ive ownership: Firstly, damn parts for 5ive's are expensive, general running costs are not though and secondly "Now that's what I'm talking about" --> Very Happy with yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickstar Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Nice one buddy , enjoy. Im not sure if I will ever own a 5th scale, I do like my 1/8, s they give me plenty of sh#ts and giggles, and I will always stick with electric so owning a leccy 1/5 seems a bit meh. But they are awsome and huge, would have to have a go on one before I ever clicked the buy button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 1/5th leccy is so not 'meh' - ask anyone who has been privileged enough to drive one lololol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Dial in some negative camber to clear the rear arches, haven't noticed any difference to grip or handling on mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoticpinkbunny Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks for that, will give it a try once the new wheels have arrived, but oddly enough quite like the look without the wheel arches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkpalmer Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Glad to see a new member having fun at purely. If you walk up to the top left that's where the "tree huggers" make shift track is, ain't for the feint hearted tho lol. Quite a lot of bumps where you were lol. Losi looks and sounds good too ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychoticpinkbunny Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Forgot, went up to traq motor racing after grabbing a mac-d's - interesting chap that runs the place, but managed to get a try out on one of his tracks. Total chaos in the failing light, but quite good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Try it without any shell on and some panels, they look awesome, especially with a Triple A racing wing, that's how mine was and I loved how it looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta-9 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 hahahaha I expected the word after to be gold rather than though (I watch too much South Park). I love that the keys for both words are far apart on the keyboard too! Annnndd.... Back on topic. I concur that it was running much, much better. Sorry about that damn tree jumping out Mark! The track was ok but far too many tyres for my linking. Bent my Baja Next time we should try those jumps hawkpalmer mentioned! Ok, I didn't really get back on topic but its close!

collective itch Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Do you not think that anyone who is on this forum, who is Jewish, might find that offensive? Surely that's stereotyping a whole religion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoticpinkbunny Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Oi none of this on my thread, you wanna have a religious discussion do it elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnetbasher Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) it's a picture of a man in traditional jewish clothes ...why is that offensive ? It's a dig at a typing error ...should he have posted a picture of a man in dungarees and said "he is jewish"...that wouldnt have worked ! ha...sorry mark...back to topic...PM fight that one out you two Edited November 6, 2013 by barnetbasher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Do you not think that anyone who is on this forum, who is Jewish, might find that offensive? Surely that's stereotyping a whole religion? Offensive to show a picture of what a Jewish person may wear? That isn't a stereotype that's just what they do put on in that particular religion. People like you make me laugh, always saying "But they may find it offensive" "oh better be careful there" and almost every time the people you try and defend find it funny too and get on with life. Oi none of this on my thread, you wanna have a religious discussion do it elsewhere! OK...but he started it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
