Harris2258 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yeh that diff set up is what I had on my genuine 5t , that's the only thing putting me off the noise can you put silencers on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 It is loud even on tick over, those oils sound good, been out today and 2 tanks thru and all great fun. Go x2 and spend the money saving on upgrades to make it even better again than a losi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris2258 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 That's a good point as I spent £1000's on my losi , x2 comes with some good upgrades as standard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just rolling Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Sorry no pics or vids cos am too busy enjoying it when am out, standard engine is good but so much more power in the g320 as I like to slide it about out of corners like a real short course truck, just checking over and the front drive shaft is almost done with the pin going into the centre diff almost gone Edited March 5, 2017 by just rolling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did your diffs last and what goes wrong with them , are they just cheap plastic and metal , still cheaper than genuine then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just rolling Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 All 3 diffs were dead and also the clutch shoes and centre diff mounts and bloody centre diff case all within first 3 tanks including running in lol, i changed all the oil before i used it as well. No problems since i changed all 3 to alloy cases, nrp o rings, ddm gaskets and losi internals. Stock diff gears were absolutely freakin turd!

Carpmart Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I get the fact people want to save a few quid, we all do, but I find this thread highly amusing. everyone talking about only having to change this and that and the gears and other bits wearing out and and and..... Buy a Losi 5ive. They just work perfect out of the box. The standard trucks are ready to run and enjoy. The don't break. They hold their value proportionately better. Sure you're laying out a few quid extra at the start, but worth it in the long run! Just my 2p worth! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny_st Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) kinda agree I only went with the x2 as I needed two If I had to do it all again it would be a losi 5t and a second hand dbxl, in fact I'm looking at a dbxl the weekend that has had most of the upgrades already done, the amount of stuff I have bought for the x2s I would have 2 losi 5ts but with no upgrades. the x2 are great when there working tho lol Edited March 13, 2017 by kenny_st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
