.AJ. Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 I wonder if the 5ive is the next Losi platform to get it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hmmm, I'd have thought they'd have done it on the last one they released. I can't see their being a V3 to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 I can see them releasing a TLR kit with a few hop ups and upgrade parts from the buggy, plus a big price tag! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 That's certainly possible. If the buggy is a huge success, they might offer the truck as a kit. Although their is already the 'race' roller, which I don't think actually has any differences? Interesting idea for a TLR 5ive kit. As you say, I bet it'd be £1,500+ though.

.AJ. Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 T-Bones look terrible and are completely pointless for this, it's never going anywhere near a skate park or jumped over a house 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Had this turn up today from the US, saved a few quid over UK price And fitted, no idea why Losi can't get all their anodising the same colour tho.... I also ordered the alloy servo saver top, but that went missing in the post, so I have to reorder it, but I haven't got round to it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Very nice losi have made some great changes here, the diff angle made me scratch my head on the 2.0 so if this works sweet. But some kind of motor protector would be good. Mayb 3d printed chassis gaurd with protector coming up and hugging the motor with vents to channel air over the motor too. Isn't it springs where the 8ight falls short tho I see so many with the hardest springs available plus maximum preload. Have they addressed this with the 3.0 or 4.0. I think it's the T that suffered the most tho. Vg racing make some springs for traxxas very nice springs too, mayb they will bring some losi springs out.

.AJ. Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Nought wrong the springs and tbh I'm running a truggy sized motor, so if it had a 68mm instead of a 74mm can the clearance would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Fitted a steel 45t spur I took a chance and ordered it from JE Models, It was in stock and turned up in 2 days, so I can't complain (for once) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
