Tug Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 A better drive-line angle is good, but not fussed about the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Can't say I'm overall impressed, seems a bit of a pointless exercise when you consider how damn good the original one is. What's the deal with this name change to 2.0 as well, they already have 2 versions of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 3.0 in my eyes too. I like it the body is my 2nd favourite but understand its a racer and they usually bright. So this is a good medium between the 1st and 2nd body. The zenoha is a nice update. 26 - 29 now 32 is progress lol. The front light bar is cool. If the price isnt too inflated mayb it could reboot the 5ive. Its been dropped from manys list of wants. Used price down to 500s ect. If brands dont do something regularly the model dies. Arrma releases all the hype on any rc giving it a new version number for new paint mayb. But it gets the model on the new announcement pages keeping them relevant. So cant blame them i think hpi should repaint their whole fleet lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price will be an interesting one actually, given the random inflation of about 50% of most of the Losi range, the real 2.0 5ive is now £1499... This can't go lower than that and is anyone REALLY going to be daft enough to spend more than that for a slightly bigger engine and a different bodyshell. The shell will still be as crap in strength as the original and the real 2.0. I can't see any positives to this release? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 They're all "upgrading"? If you can call it "upgrading"!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Yeah, if I had a 1.0, the 2.0 doesn't offer much and I assume given how the 8ights went, much if the 2.0 will bolt onto the 1.0 and 1.0 spares will be around for years. As someone with no 5ive, who would like a 5ive I am tempted to pick one up. Saves upgrading the engine and can sell the reciever and wheels to get some money for a decent, silenced exhaust.

mond Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=434504 That's allot of money, even for the best 5th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Terrible price, I bought my 5ive when the price was at its lowest. Think it was £929.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I could understand sensible increase in price due to the better engine but it doesn't even have a performance exhaust on it or come with a radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
