Provisionally Sold.

They are two hobbyking nanotechs running in parallel to give 6000mah. It's one of the few pictures I didn't take. lol If it's vital I can go and take some, but it's always a pain taking those 4 bolts out of the bottom...!

I fitted a couple of 3000mah lipo packs. As it was a roller it didn't come with any electronics at all.

Yes I would say it is. Although, to be honest I didn't know there were any other versions or what the changes are. I've been out of RC for a while.

I've decided to sell my Losi 5ive T. This truck has had very little running which should hopefully be evident from the pictures. I bought this truck as a roller, painted it and fitted the stuff needed to get it running. It's probably had no more than 20 minutes running around a car park gently to run the engine in and since then it's been a shelf queen. It's not even been run in anger since I fitted the Samba pipe. To all intents and purposes this is a new car. It's just not being used so I've decided to put the funds in to a totally different hobby. Everything was bought new for this project Kit is; Losi 5ive T roller Zenoah G290RC Samba Competition Pipe in raw finish Bartelone alloy clutch carrier (I think it was the Bartelone version anyway) 2 x Savox SV-0235 MG servos Outerwears pull start and filter covers It has a failsafe and remote kill switch fitted The crank case has had a wire mesh fitted and the shell has been reinforced with fibre and shoo goo. If you need any more info please just ask. I'm not sure what the going rate is for these is but I'm asking £650. This is less than half what I've paid for it and is less than you can buy a cheap copy for. I'd prefer cash on collection in the Wakefield area but PayPal is also acceptable. Not sure about posting it due to the size (although I do still have the box for it) but I'm willing to negotiate this with the buyer (at their cost). If desired, I also have a DX4S I could sell to the buyer for an addition £100. Thanks for looking. Craig.

I've got a spy 700, the Y shaped one with 6 motors. Very nice bit of kit and is well made. They are very expensive but in a different league to the rest. Trouble is it doesn't get used. It's quite large and intimidating and there's a lot of money tied up in it and the numptys who fly in innapropriate places are giving the rest of us bad names so I don't bother anymore. I think the little spyder may be a better bet and I've had my eye on one.

Absolutely amazing. I am both in awe and jealous of your skills, simply stunning.

It's the same chassis, with a few extra bits of plastic hanging on the side. No more durable to be honest.

Nige has responded to my email and has given some excellent advise. No surprise there though as his reputation is exceptional on the forums.

Yes but it's not that easy. Ring Nige and he'll say get the Bart as he doesn't sell the BZM and the Samba is out of stock. Ring MMR and they'll say the BZM as they don't stock the Bart. It's difficult to decide which way to go as I've not had or seen any of them in the flesh. You tube can only give you an idea and then there is no reference for the sound or performance. It's too expensive to lay

Cheers. I'm assuming FB is Facebook, which I do have an account on but haven't used it since setting it up. To be honest I can't be arsed with all that crap. I'll try and remember my log and pm him.

FTI - did you ever manage to clean up the pipe, just interested to see how it came out?

Just a little bump to see if anyone has had both the BZM micro pipe and the Bart Silenced. These two seem to be in the running at the moment. I've emailed both Nige and MMR yesterday to get some feedback on both but nothing as yet.

Sorry to hijack. What weight oil do you run? And did you buy the normal or HD skid plates (just trying to decide on the difference)

Cheers for that. It's just the noise that worries me not the performance. I guess I must be getting old as ear bleeding exhaust notes just annoy me now, otherwise I would have bought the losi pipe and be done with it.
