DBXL Smithy Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Hello, Since they made the Losi DBXL-E do you think they will ever come out and make a Losi 5T-E? Not been in the RC game for ages so maybe they already have done this :D. If they did do this I would actually go out and buy one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Sure. https://www.mgm-controllers.com/cars/losi-5ive-t/losi-5ive-t-ready-to-run-mgm-edition.html Get your wallet out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'd like to see Losi do it, when they did the DBXL-E, they did a nice job of straightening up the drive-train. However, they couldn't use the Max6 again, they'd have to go Max5. I'd like to see bigger battery boxes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mond Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 8S with a 5th scale motor is still more grunt than the stock petrol engine. 14S with the Lehner is something like 19hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBXL Smithy Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Didn't know it was that pricey.. would be awesome to have one though. Not a big fan of petrol anymore rather have an electric RC car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 30DNT and I run a Hobbyking trackstar ESC and Tenshock motor and I'm pretty pleased with it as I wanted to build an economy truck. I did however use the MGM conversion kit for the Losi 5T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That looks perfect to me, can't see a need for 15s and whatnot myself. With a bigger vehicle and much more speed comes a need for a much bigger area or it's a waste. 8-10s seems to be enough with the right set up and a good place to run one, nice truck bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I think people overpower their 8th scales with 6S so think 8S isn't enough. In reality 8S is incredibly powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've never seen the fascination with 6s in 8th scales either, my old 8th scale buggies and truggies were fast enough for anyone bashing, assuming you don't want to set speed records, it's more than ample.
