If you lose interest in RC after a 5t Chuck Norris will lose his man card.

Nitro is always fun to mess around with, but large scale will consume your attention and wallet for sure.

Size matters!

Congrats on the 5ive.

Hands down it's the funnest RC I have ever owned.

Thanks guys yeah it's going to be awesome ! I almost got an hpi but I figured if your going to spend the$ spend it right ! They say the losi 5t is not that fast stock? Too heavy for the stock engine ? When I need some speed I'll just drive my gt lol

It is a pig with the stock 26. A tuned pipe will wake it up a bit especially on the bottom end. Dropping down a tooth on the pinion will also help the bottom end.

You could do what I did which was to immediately sell the stock engine and get a Zenoah G290RC 4-bolt. I paired it with a Bartolone tuned pipe.

How much $ was that? How much for a pipe set up? I'm building an ar15 right now as well so need to have money for that too lol

The engine I use is a Dogpile Immortal Child which now runs around $369. Price has gone up since I got mine. Coupon code HBF will get you 5% off.

Bartolone pipe is $235 and is available in black, raw or chrome. Mine is black, but I should have gotten raw or chrome since after 1 day at the track the black looks like crap. Coupon code DDM gets you 5% off.
