smeghead28 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Been looking at the Losi 5ive more and more recently Bit peeved that it isn't RTR as such anymore and needs radio gear. I assume that the servos fitted are good enough and dont need replacing straight away with something better? Can the receiver/servos etc be run from straight from a 2S lipo or is something needed to step the voltage down to 6v? Would be running with a killswitch but is a 3 channel radio a must for it to work? Am I right in assuming that the 3rd channel would just give me the ability to shut the car down myself and anything else such as loss of signal etc would be handled by the kilswitch itself? Thanks.

sean-vrs Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 this is the latest rtr one http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=388803&gclid=CNKzweiKlsQCFQHMtAodJBAA5A this comes with bigger engine and lipo imo it would still need a exhaust, you can get the older now for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Why would you spend money on an un proven platform ???? Buy the Proper Losi as everyone knows just how bullet proof they are Dont forget with the AVC you cant run a remote kill switch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead28 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well,decided against the 5ive for now as it is very big and I am not sure where I will be able to keep it It is a toss up now between the Losi DBXL and the Baja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead28 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Baja would suit you best then Yeah it would seem the sensible choice but I am still not quite sure yet The DBXL is a bit cheaper and that would pay for a couple of extra couple of bits such as a kill switch. Also if I do buy the Baja I might buy the kit version so some extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Well,decided against the 5ive for now as it is very big and I am not sure where I will be able to keep it It is a toss up now between the Losi DBXL and the Baja I've got a dbxl & Depending how mad you bash all it needs imo is a bigger RX pack & a killswitch. mine ran fine with the stock exhaust & filter & the servos are still ok on lipo after 6+ tanks. Plus they can be bought for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
