Few things to note form the LIVE Q&A currently on Facebook - Buggy runs a stock 20t pinion over the 5ive's 19t and has a completely different FDR - Buggy spur gear has holes drilled for reduced weight, whole drive train is lighter to help reduce rotational mass - Exhausts are still being produced by venders - Suspensions arms are not the same as the 5ive and they're not the same as the 5ive Mini either - Doesn't come with an exhaust

They're LIVE on Facebook and I asked them about the chassis, confirmed that it's 2.5" shorter then the 5ive T chassis, that will rule out certain exhausts from fitting.

I wonder how much shorter it is.... If it's a decent amount that'll kill off exhaust support...

Jet washed it with snow foam!!!

Based on seeing one being thrashed around for 9 months in a genuine Losi 5ive and never missing a beat while constantly hitting over 19,000rpm.... It's a seriously impressive engine for it's price and capacity.... And there's really no need for the rolling eyes.....

For how light it looks like it's going to be the best engine for it would the 29cc SCZ engine....

Bye bye X2!!!

Is it a tweaked Genesis?

Weight will be interesting!! My X2 is just over 19kg now....

No take it out and crash it

I've yet to break mine and it's had some very bad landings from 8-10 feet in the air....... And out of the 5 that's in my group I've only seen one bent suspension arm pin from a very harsh landing.

Now I have the 30 Degree's North panels and if you run the panels with 190mm tires ( Instead of the stock 180mm ) it makes all the difference as the tires fill the rear arch up better. Not to mention that due to how the panels are designed the tires will never rub on them, the front section also wraps around the cage so it's stops a lot more rubbish getting in to the chassis then the stock panels do to.

ALX78.....

I'm been close to getting another Blackout but just a little apprehensive as to how the diff cups will hold up to my style of driving and how it'll cope with my ESP G320.

that quick release gas tank kit looks interesting... might have to get that!

I'm alright at it I suppose

As I said, if none English people get a job over you then you're doing something wrong.... No employer would get shot of an employee who was earning them money..... I speak to dozens of employers a day and I've yet to meet one who would replace a hard working employee who was making the business profitable.

It always makes me laugh when people say migrant workers are taking jobs....... If someone who can't speak or write English, has no money, no education and no contacts gets offered a job over you, how **** must you be.....

Those are the people I deal with and they won't have it that easy next year, and neither will visitors to this country either

Run time isn't user re-settable, I emailed the manufacturer a while ago and asked. You have to break the unit open and pull the battery from it to reset the run time, which is easier said then done.

There's not many 1/5th scales that'll keep up with a Blackout that has a good engine in it, those huge tires give it a ridiculous FDR which gives it awesome top end.

Can we do the equations please, I miss doing all the voltage drop calculations and current potential of cable based on ambient temperature and other factors.... Don't get to do them since I stopped being an electrician ..... Was the best part of the job...

Use a LiFe pack.... Problem solved

Got a link to the deal you bought as it'll show us what was included and what you'l need.

That's the kit I was going to buy, guy offered it me for £60 shipped minus the Uber RC bumper it came with. Shell cleaned up real nice though, did you fibre glass the back as it was damaged form what I remember.
