I bought a short course truck... A really big one!

I have been wanting a Losi 5t for a long time, so I finally pulled the trigger! I can't wait to take this apart and go through it! This is going to be a blast. I picked up a kill switch and Bartolone silenced pipe to start. The box this came in is so big my daughter made a small fort with it🤣

I've seen one in person. Breydon was 2 at the time, and my thoughts were - once he grew up a little bit, he could ride in it. Massive RC.

This was my first time seeing one in person. That body is sooooooo wide🤣
 
I've always wanted to build one.
Congrats on a awesome rig @ferrebee88 .
If this came as a kit I would have bought it years ago! I was going to buy one last year but built a Kraken Vesla instead! The Vesla turned out to be a turd, so I sold it to get this.
 
You will love it. They are truly massive.
Hopefully it's not a gateway drug... next thing I know I'm selling off all my possessions and turning to a life of crime to run a fleet of MCD rigs🤣
 
Big boxes make the best toys!

Every time we moved, the boys would keep a box or two to play in.

Nice RC, congrats :thumbs-up:
Breydon used to do the same thing when he was a toddler. So one day I told him I was shipping him back to Amazon for being defective.

Awesome, I'm a little jealous i've always wanted a 5ive-T since i first saw one at my local track\hobby shop in December 2021. But every time i think about saving up for one something always comes out like the Radio i want or a new awesome car. Hope to see some running pics of yours. That's cute that your daughter made a little mini fort out of the box sometimes our cats would get in boxes and hang out it them.
 
Oh boy... I need someone to hold me back... I'm about to order a ESP 34cc modified/ported top end. I'll get to tare the motor apart and see what the insides look like!
Did the truck come with a 32 or a 29cc? If it has a 32cc I would just run it a bit and get a 34cc top end kit if you decide it needs more.

These trucks from my knowledge have a Zenoah 32cc engine if it were me i would run the truck for awhile as is. If i get mine someday i'll be keeping the stock gas engine for awhile until i could save up enough to convert it to Electric with a Max 4 and a 70125 560kv 12s brushless combo. But that's just me.
