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 saw one at my lhs a while back. Very cool indeed. And, it’s a big ‘un.

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

Congrats on that sweet truck and thanks for sharing pics

 

[Chubaka]

Congrats. Hopefully insurance and the tag office didn't kill you.

I'd love to take it in the mud.

Expecting pics and videos.

Big boxes make the best toys!

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

Nice RC, congrats

That's so cool! I need something that size!!

 

[luke66]

Awesome! Big rigs are so cool!

 

[Doom!]

Nice! Cool when you get to scratch that itch that you've had for a while. Good lookin truck, glad I don't have to carry it.

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.
